The Links Course at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is the ultimate in risk-reward golf. The architect, Tom Jackson, routed five holes along the bay and then wound the course inland across rolling undulations. In order to prevail against the blustery Gulf Coast winds, accuracy and proper club selection are essential, making it a true shot-maker's golf course. In addition to being right along the shores of the Choctawhatchee Bay, the Baytowne Marina serves as a backdrop to the course, providing even more stunning views of the Emerald Coast. Of the four championship golf courses that Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort offers, the Links is one of the original two and also one of the most popular. The layout offers a unique links experience that all skill levels can enjoy, especially since it features four different sets of tees.

Management

Golf course is fun to play. The better courses are raven and Baytowne. Management is terrible here and always has an attitude. They answer a phone call when you’re standing in front of them to check in and they tell you to wait. It’s not worth 55 dollars or even 75 dollars.

Challenging course in beautiful setting

Always a joy to play. Great hole design. Greens were sneaky fast. One problem was the tee boxes. In the numerous times I’ve played this course it is always a problem. Uneven lies. Chewed up turf. Places where it was cut poorly. It was a problem basically every hole. It won’t keep me from coming here but it’s something to be aware of …

Loving the Links

A great layout that demands you control your shots. Greens were a little slow due to over-seeeding, but in beautiful condition. Multiple scenic views of the Choctawatchee Bay
