Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

About
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.

Nice time
Course overall was in good condition. The greens at the Links course were head and shoulders better than Baytowne. Several of the sand traps could use some more sand. Several tee boxes need some attention and grass. Had a nice time.
Like the course
Only issue was yardages on the cart GPS were all wrong. Probably cost me four or five strokes and two balls in the water.
Staff were all friendly and helpful. Course conditions were good to very good. Layout requires premium accuracy.
Beautiful Holes
I think Links is a fun course to play with some beautiful holes on the bay. Good test. Reasonably good shape for a resort course. Nice staff in pro shop. No amenities to speak of for food, drinks, etc. Shabby actually.
Resort Golf - Nothing more/nothing less
The scenery at this course is top notch and created a very enjoyable experience. The way I would describe the course is that they put a golf course where there wasn't enough room for one. The holes were narrow and not very interesting besides the views. But everything was in good shape, and for the price I thought like the value was accurate. I just wouldn't go back for the golf only.
Nice course for Feb in Destin
Nice course. Plenty of beautiful views of the bay. Would definitely play there again.
Very nice course
Beautiful course to play. A lot of water, and can be a bit windy sometimes, but very enjoyable. I wish their practice range had room for woods and drivers. The putting and chipping practice area is great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall excellent value for the price. I will definitely play here again.
Always love playing The Links. The greens are in great condition. The course was slow after the morning rain. The only problem I have is the cart paths need some work.
Great layout
Course was in good condition for this time of year. A few bunkers were bare but otherwise great value
Good course, bad pace of play
I have played the course many times over the past several years, but was disappointed with the pace of play. A course Marshall monitoring the pace would help.
Course is a great layout and in good shape
Great course
Great course to play if you are staying at the Hilton you also get a discount . Highly recommended for a golf get away .
Nice Course
I enjoyed the course. Many picturesque holes. The only negative was the condition of the bunkers. Not much sand - low depth and compact. It is Florida - sand is abundant everywhere!
