Gulf Links Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Gulf Links Golf Course to avoid the worst conditions?

We always recommend visiting Gulf Links between late October and early May. You'll dodge the brutal summer humidity and the peak hurricane season, ensuring a much more comfortable round with consistent conditions.

What makes the 'links' part of Gulf Links truly unique, and how does it impact play?

Unlike many US courses, Gulf Links truly embraces its coastal setting with firm, fast fairways and natural dunes. The constant ocean breeze is your biggest challenge here, demanding creative shot-making and a solid low ball flight.

Are there any must-see holes or views at Gulf Links that really stand out?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th - it plays right along the water, offering stunning views but also a tricky crosswind. It's a real postcard moment, but don't let the scenery distract you from the demanding tee shot over a marshy inlet.

Is Gulf Links Golf Course worth the green fee, and do you have any tips for booking a tee time?

We think Gulf Links offers excellent value, especially for a true links experience in the US. To snag the best rates, try booking a twilight tee time or look for packages that include a stay-and-play option with local resorts.

What's the best way to unwind after a round at Gulf Links, either at the course or nearby?

After battling the wind, head straight to the clubhouse's outdoor patio - their seafood tacos are fantastic, and the sunset views over the 18th green are unbeatable. If you're looking for something off-site, the nearby fishing village has some charming local pubs perfect for a post-round pint.
