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.

Interesting Course

Very informal check in and approach to start time but everyone was really friendly. Lack of signage made course hard to navigate as first time of playing but overall we found the course interesting and challenging.

Quite enjoyable and worth the trip

The course is about a 45 min drive from home for me. I had not played it before but have heard of it. The clubhouse was easy to find once you entered the over-55 neighborhood and there were a lot of amenities (pro shop, bar, lounge for food, and more). The lack of a true driving range however is a bit of a draw back. There is a small chipping area as well as a putting green which did the job. This day was a packed day however and play was very slow. It is an over 55 neighborhood with a lot of residents playing there normal morning round and that slows the pace way down. While the course is not all that long, it is challenging with the design and landscape. One whole had like 3 ponds on the fairway. Some areas were being worked on or repaired by the course did well with how it was presented and made ready for golfers. I didn't lose a single ball and I will go again.

Friendly good value

We really enjoyed playing this course. The greens are not the best but then that’s reflected in the price we paid. Staff really nice and welcoming and pace of play was really good. Only problem was lack of signage on the course which led to confusion on some holes.

Great Value

Great value for money. Some grass missing on some fairways and some greens. They are looking after this course, there were many maintenance guys out.

Challenging. Many pins cut on slopes. Relatively small greens. Elevated and blind shots required.

Staff extremely nice. Bar was nice afterwards.

Overall recommend. Great value compared to other alternatives.

Very Likeable Course

Definitely recommend. While just a couple of greens are on the mend, most are very nice. Hole 16 fairway is still short on grass but most others are just fine. Overall the course is very well maintained with workers visible making improvements. There are several water features making for a pleasant environment. Don't forget to take a picture of the 8-10 foot golf bag with clubs that was carved out of a tree near the 16th green. Pretty awesome.
