About
The Golf Club at North Hampton offers a traditional Scottish links-style course right in northeast Florida. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the layout meanders through dramatic elevation changes of over 40 feet and ten spring-fed lakes lined with coquina boulders. Sprawled across rolling hills and wild grasses, the golf course is sculpted from beautiful Florida woodlands, offering a round that is as scenic as it is challenging. The Golf Club at North Hampton's hard-to-read greens are massive and move very quickly. There are also tight fairways, many of which feature blind approaches. To make it even trickier, strong winds often sweep through the course, some even reaching a speed of 30 miles an hour.

Golfer Reviews
Wait a few weeks for the course to dry out
Front nine greens are bad, back nine greens are fine just need to be cut. Course is wet from all the rain. Needs time to dry out and greens to be addressed/recover. Wouldn't recommend playing the course until mid-November.
North Hampton
Course has great bones, but needs a ton of maintenance. Called and asked to tee off a little early to beat the thunderstorms. They had no other groups that were in front of us for 45 minutes. Was told we can't tee off earlier because the earlier tee times were more expensive. We'll, no one was in front of us so it made no sense. The ranger was great and said go ahead and tee off when you are ready so we did end up going early anyway. Course could be really good.
Course layout was challenging for first time play.
Better than reviews
I was expecting terrible course conditions based on some reviews but was pleasantly surprised. We played the back nine since they were starting on 10. Only got 9 in due to weather. Course was in fair condition compared to several Jacksonville courses I've played. My biggest issues are some of the bunkers were hard with clumps of grass in them.. I will be back since I think this is the best layout in the Jacksonville area.
Links style
I played this course before, but despite all the bad reviews, I decided to play it again and not sure why people are giving it such a bad rating because it was in great condition from T to green. I got paired with a cool guy named Matt and we just had a great round. Everything was good but our golf game lol. This is a difficult course ,water on every hole, but I will be back here for sure to test my game once again, but the conditions were great..
Awesome place to play a round
Awesome place to get together for a round of golf. Is the corse in perfect condition ? No but it’s much better than the 3 star rating it has. Not to mention you can tell the staff is hard at work getting the corse in better shape than it currently is. I’d highly recommend playing here and will definitely be back soon to play again.
Average to Good, worth the price
The online registration process was easy. Upon arriving the staff was very friendly and courteous as I explained it was my first time playing this course. The greens had recently been aerated and covered with sand - - not in very good shape. The tees were average to above average, showed lots of wear apparently the drought earlier in the year had done a number on them. The fairways were good to excellent condition. This was an excellent opportunity for me to play a challenging course near the Jax Int'l Airport waiting for my Navy son to fly in from overseas. As I mentioned earlier, the course needs time, work, and rainfall. I would marginally recommend at this time.
Course is Rough
This course is in rough shape. It is obvious this course gets very little maintenance. Greens are bad and the fairways and first cut of rough were way too long. The price we paid for the condition of this course was not good.
Course is in bad shape
I hadn't played here in years and the course has really gone downhill. Weed, insects, and overgrowth is everywhere and half the greens were full of weed and insect mounds. Will not be going back until I hear they have improved the course The staff were all great, but the course is in bad shape. There were no other golfers in front or behind us all day.
Needs work (con't)
One more thing, we know NH is a Links style course, but I have played several Links courses and right now NH is a neglected Links course. Bring it back and we'll be back.
Needs work
Played here a few years ago and the course was very nice. On August 1, 2026 my buddy and I decided to play NH again, wow, what a difference. The course needs mowed, it's really been neglected. The first cut will take every other ball in it, much too deep. There was no second cut because the grass was overgrown on the entire course, knee length in some places (it's not Shinnecock Hills). The greens were spotty throughout and most of them had weeds. Lastly, the grille was advertised as open until 6:00 PM and we finished at 3:00 and were told the grille was closed. I'll keep my eyes on the reviews, but my buddy and I will not be back until things improve.
Fun Round on a HOT Day
Great to see the course back on GolfNow! Staff was welcoming and friendly at check in. Course was in good shape but a few rough spots on the greens and occasional fairway preventing a full 5 stars. The crew is obviously working hard to return to its former pristine condition. Will return again soon!
Fun Course
Fun course at N Hampton. Staff was friendly and starter Joe was helpful. Course in mostly great shape. Cart paths are worst part of course but didn’t bother us. I would like to see hole pics at each Tee box or hole pics on scorecard as this was our first time playing course and water is on almost every hole but not always visable from tee. Large greens. Nice fairways. Tactical shot making decisions needed b/c of high number of water holes and their placement. Turtles, gators, bunnies and cranes spotted along the course.
So disappointing
One of our go to courses in the greater Jax area.
Sorry to say but…Rough condition overall, greens poor, to be polite. This is not the N Hampton we played in 2020, or years before.
Great traps I’d you love sand,
Not sure if it the location or neighbourhood apathy, pkng lot 75% vacant @ 11:30 am.
Just terrible.....
The pics will speak for itself. Absolutely terrible. Paid $72 to play!!
Just terrible...
Cost $72 and it’s just terrible.. I’ll post pics of the fairway and green. They will say all I need to say.
Bare Fairways and Bumpy greens
Based on the green fee, I expected so much more from the course. The fairways were 50/50...dirt to grass. The greens had clumps of a different grass growing in them. Made putting a 3 footer impossible. There were several areas of the course that was undergoing renovation. Mostly fairway and green side bunker complexes. I just played them as ground under repair. This is the first time I'd played the course in at least 18 months...probably be that long before I play again.
