best of golf Ocean Views Five holes of The Links Golf Club at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort stretch along Baytowne Marina and the Choctawatchee Bay in Northwest Florida. Accuracy and club selection are key for players compensating for the gusty Gulf Coast winds. In Amelia Island, the Ocean Links at OMNI Amelia Island Plantation Resort overlooks lagoons, marsh wetlands and the ocean. Fairways run parallel to the beach and five holes cross a coastal Atlantic dune ridge. In Palm Coast, Jack Nicklaus designed The Ocean Course at Hammock Beach with raised tees and greens to enhance panoramic views of the Atlantic. Six holes border the ocean and the final four holes, known as “The Bear Claw,” edging dangerously close to the coastline.
