Links of Sandpiper in Lakeland offers a traditional links layout that sprawls across rolling terrain. The course is player friendly enough for players of all skill levels to enjoy but it has enough challenges for more advanced players as well. The course is anything but flat, and the ups and downs are the most challenging element you'll encounter. The small, undulating greens and narrow landing areas off of the fairways demand accuracy. Combined with elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers, proper club selection and course management also play important roles. Picking the right lines from the tees into the greens requires careful thought. You'll face a few blind shots thanks to the rolling terrain and there are also several bunkers strategically placed along the greensides. Links of Sandpiper's final four holes are the toughest stretch.

Good deal

This is my home course, been playing here for years. The new management is doing great things with the course and the promotion for playing. Unfortunately this is drawing a lot of people and it makes play slower. Still, the. course is in great condition and love playing there. Hope that by summer play will be better .

Rough course

For the amount of money to play this course would never play again. Greens were small and needed a ton of work. Fairways were more like a rough yard. No plush grass to be found. Had a line up of tee times no starter. We had 10:45 am and started our tee after 11 am.

Not worth the drive

Local shorter course, was very underwhelming on the front 9. The back was more interesting, but too many groups kept pace slow. Greens were quite slow and fairways weedy. Not worth the painful drive on I-4 from Orlando. Won’t be back.

Bust place

There is a lot going on at this facility, pool, tennis, it was busy. The course was full and the pace was slow. But overall worth the trip there.

Liked the layout

Layout for this course was fun to play. Unfortunately the greens not so good. Front nine greens very brown and bumby. Back nine greens had much more colour to them and rolled much better. Tees would in decent shape. Fairways had a little colour to them but hard. Lots of roll though.

Good course with great layout, needs improvement

It was very cold and rainy day when we played. A lot of workers were doing improvement. Course layout was overall great and interesting with a lot of hills. But some Par 3 halls were confusing.

As beginner, we would like to go back and do great practices in this course.
