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.

Not a typical Florida course

Haven't played there in a while. They had made changes to the ladies tees. I found some of them too easy and others didn't help with how hard the hole was. There are quite a few difficult holes for all tees. Lots of water, carries and bunkers to be found. Some blind shots as well. It's a great layout with lots of interest, scenery and wildlife.

Played the front in a nice pace, but got bogged down on the back. The back does play harder. Liked the par 3's. Course in really good condition. Greens weren't too fast.

A good Saturday afternoon!

The course is in great shape! Larry the starter got us out earlier than our 2:10 tee time. The course had a few folks, a tournament was finishing up, so a little wait for carts. Our group of three is a little fast, teeing up early put us right behind a foursome and a twosome behind us. The twosome we could see in the fairway as we walked up to the green. The foursome was not slow, but at one point all of us found ourselves on the same hole. Group in front on green, we are in the fairway, and twosome at the tee box. We sorted it out, and played through and decongested ourselves. This is rare, I have played the course a few time, but worth the mention. The bunkers are harsh, something out of the British Open. Deep, really deep. A few bunkers had some standing water, we've had a good amount of rain, just don't hit into a bunker. Overall a good round, plenty of fun and the clouds keep us cool, it could have been harsh. Heading out again soon!

Always solid

I simply play this course too infrequently. I've had buddies come to town on golf trips and we play many private courses but invariably North Hampton sticks out amongst the favorites mentioned by all who make the trek. Course was in great shape and although we played forward tees (whites) instead of normal Blues which took the driver out of the hands on a few more holes than I would like, it still always comes down to the putting and short game for scoring on this track. It's arguably one of my favorite layouts in North Florida and a must play if you're in the area not withstanding an incredible value for the money. You won't be disappointed.

Great layout

Great layout, friendly staff, drought seems to left the course dry with weeds encroaching on tee boxes, fairways. I'd love e to play it again after a month of rain. Overall enjoyed the course, challenging layout, friendly staff.

Arnie Did Great!

It's a great course (designed by Arnold Palmer) and it will challenge you on many levels from every tee. Be prepared to use every club in your bag. If you don't hit it straight, bring lots of balls. Starter was very informative and friendly.

Awesome

Such a fun design, great views everywhere. Course mostly in excellent shape, but greens were a little spotty and sandy. Doesn't really affect play much. Favorite course I've played in FL!

Great course

This course is under new management so I'm not sure if it was their decision to remove the GPS units from the carts, but I sure miss that feature.

Course is a little dry but its been very dry here for months.

Overall I like this course and it was a nice relaxing afternoon for playing 18.

Great course and value!

We had an 8:00 tee time and thoroughly enjoyed our round from start to finish. Only reason I gave the course 4 stars in the course condition column is because the greens still showed signs from being punched the week before so I don't know how they would be when fully recovered! The course is tough but fair, although the wind we played in made the course (especially the back) tougher. For $68 it was a great value and if I am in the area will play it again!

Overall great course and staff.I would like to see guest fill divots with provided sand and fix a ball mark or two. The 19th hole has great drinks, the Lunch and friday night dinner is awesome also.

Fun course to play.

I would play this course again. It's a must cart course unless you like long walks between holes. I definitely recommend playing here. Conditions were very good. Lay out was excellent and fun to play.

Really fun layout

I played this course for the first time. It has a really great layout with many fun and challenging holes. The pin placements were insane the day I played. The course was really dry and the with the wind the greens were terribly fast. That wouldn't have been bad except a lot of the greens were bumpy, which with speed made it very difficult to putt. The bunkers could use some more sand because they were thin and mostly dirt. Maybe it was the type of sand, but I didn't feel like the bunkers were in great shape. I would definitely play here again because it's a great price!

Thanks for the review. We are currently in the process of adding a new type of sand to many of the bunkers on the course. Glad you had fun!
