Hammock Creek Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Legacy Design, is a fabulous daily fee layout on the Treasure Coast of Florida. Opened in July of 1996, the Club has hosted several local, state, and national competitions. Featuring five sets of tees from 5,045 to 7,131 yards, the golf course is a favorite for both locals and snowbirds alike. The practice facility offers one acre of celebration turf to satisfy the most ardent game improvement golfers. The centerpiece of the Hammock Creek community though is the clubhouse, which completed an extensive renovation in October of 2020. The restaurant, verandahs, and dining deck offers breakfast and lunch daily, with a variety of daily and weekly specials to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite.

Golf Now not welcome

Arrived 1 hour early for warm up. Jack in club house explains Golf Now purchases can not check in and/or receive golf carts until 30 minutes prior to tee time. Welcome to walk to practice area. Arrived to first tee to hear from starter how Hammock Creek is not happy with Golf Now and trying to cancel contract. Nice course but not welcome by staff Ouch.

Not much room for error...

Palmetto's frame most fairways... To speed play they are marked lateral hazard. Good Idea! Course is usually in better shape than most other public tracks and the lay out is fair...

I don't usually write reviews, however, this was definitely worth it. Very friendly staff and the course was in great shape w the lack of rain in the area. The marshall was very cordial, as the rest of the staff. Finished w foursome in 4 hours and 15 min. Very acceptable. Keep up the good work.

Fun and straightforward course great greens

Played for first time based on quality reviews from other golfers. Nicest greens I have played in a while. Easiest Nicklaus course you will ever play. All the challenge was due to firm and fast greens. Great value for price paid. Minor issues with pace of play waited for 10 minutes on a few tees. Red tees very fair for my wife who is a 17 handicap. Excellent practice facilities get there early to use them.

Pace of Play ruined a nice day

Beautiful day and was really looking forward to a nice round, however the pace of play was so slow and there was never a ranger to be seen on the course that half the group quit at 9 (2:45 hrs) and we quit at 11 (1 hr later) Tried to discuss my disappointment with the guys handling the clubs and the person in the pro shop and just heard silence and blank stares. Will never go back and I suggest anyone considering should look for an alternative where at least they have a ranger system that tries to help move the golfers along.

A gem.

Very playable layout for all skills. I've struggled with Nicklaus designs in the past, but this one is less punitive with approachable greens. Fairways were great with fast and true greens. Don't miss it.

Saved the Best for Last

This was the last course we played on this visit to the Stuart area and it turned out to be the best. The Pro Shop staff was very friendly and worked an extra player in without any problems. Entire staff was professional and polite.

Hammock Creek was in excellent condition and the greens were the best we played on this trip. They rolled true and there were few ball marks. Tee boxes, fairways and even the bunkers were all in great shape.

The pace of play was very good as our foursome played in 4+15 and only waited once for a few minutes once on the group ahead of us.

This is probably the best value of any course in this area and it will be on our list to play next year. Check GolfNow and book this course !

Nice Course, Lousy Pace and Poor Attitude

While the course was rather fun and interesting, the pace of play was very poor....too tight....we played right up the group in front of us and still were rudely confronted by the ranger who insisted we pick up our balls and play on....we have encountered many courses and rangers and this took the cake for obnoxious and un-informed....when we took the issue to the manager, he, too was amazingly rude and obnoxious....the beverage cart person and front desk people were great.....too bad they have to deal with these others in their organization.
