With two golf courses, an oceanside location and a host of amenities and lodging types, Hammock Beach Resort & Spa is a prime place to stay and play along Florida's First Coast. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course has been acclaimed since its 2000 debut, and the Tom Watson-designed Conservatory is a nice complimentary second layout. The beach,…
The home of the World Golf Hall of Fame also boasts two popular golf courses - one a collaboration by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, and another recently renovated by architect Bobby Weed. Several lodging options, from the Renaissance hotel resort to dozens of multi-bedroom villas, make this a worthy destination for groups of any size.
Hammock Beach Resort has two exceptional golf courses, the Jack Nicklaus Ocean Course and the Tom Watson Conservatory Course. Both are open to members and guests of Hammock Beach exclusively. As good as the golf is, however, many people come without their clubs because there is just so much for everyone to do, Katharine Dyson writes from northeast Florida.
Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus each have impressive golf courses at Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Fla. Whose is better? Well, if this were a rematch of "The Duel in the Sun" -- an epic battle between the two golf titans during the 1977 Open Championship at Turnberry -- Watson might upend Nicklaus again, Jason Deegan writes from the First Coast of Florida.
Senior writer Mike Bailey got to check out the recently renovated Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Resort in Florida and says it checks off all the fun boxes, including great views of the Atlantic.
Few destinations couple American history with world-class golf quite like St. Augustine, Florida. Just south of Ponte Vedra Beach, golfers can walk in the footsteps of legends Ponce de Leon, not to mention Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
When it comes to golf in the Jacksonville area, two destinations come to mind: one is TPC Sawgrass, home of The Players Championship, and the other is World Golf Village. If you're a golfer, both should be on your bucket list, but if you were visiting northeast Florida and could only choose one, which would it be? Here is a tale of the tape between the two to help you make up your mind.
The Golf Club at South Hampton had always been a popular track in the northeast Florida area, but now with new owners, better conditioning and a family atmosphere, play is picking up even more. From the time you check in to the starter, everyone seems to know your name. And with wide fairways and only forced carries for the low handicap players, the golf course is pretty friendly as well.
Jack Nicklaus' Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Fla. might get the publicity, but the Conservatory Course probably remains the best golf course at the resort, at least strategically. This Tom Watson design could host a PGA Tour event tomorrow if necessary. Everything's in place.
With more ocean to see and better turf conditions, the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach on the east coast of Florida might be one of the best resort courses in the state.
