About Links of Sandpiper
The Links of Sandpiper is a par-71 layout in Lakeland, Florida, playing from four sets of tees that stretch from roughly 6,000 yards at the blue markers down to just over 4,000 yards from the forward gold tees. Built in a links style, the course rolls over uneven ground that creates blind shots and doglegs, with undulating greens guarded by bunkers and fairways framed by oaks and pines. Water comes into play on most of the back nine for shots that stray off line.

The variety asks for a full range of clubs. Par 3s measure from about 120 to 215 yards from the back tees, while the par 4s range from short holes with small greens to longer ones with more generous putting surfaces. The par 5s offer scoring chances but carry risk, with out of bounds close to some greens and water placed to catch loose shots.
Three-, six- and twelve-month memberships are available for singles and couples.
