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.

Wow

Beautiful course. Great carts with GPS giving you yardage to the pins and to hazards. Nicest course I've played to date. Well worth the money. The only issue was the maintenance crew seemed to move just ahead of us on about 4 holes. They would work around the green until you hit on the green. We found that a little bizarre.

Diamond in North Florida

Words can not describe the excitement I had while playing this course. The overall conditions were awesome, the staff was very friendly and the course layout of truly stunning. The Sunday I played they had reached an attendance record but you never would have known by how well the course kept up. There was a starter and marshall the day I played and both were very pleasant. The beauty of the course is what really stuck with me after the round. Everything from the cart path to the greens are laid out so natural. The King made one heck of a diamond in North Florida to be enjoyed by all! Thank you to all at the Golf Club at North Hampton for a truly beautiful day. Can't wait to play the course again.

Best in B]North Florida

I used to live in Jax and would play the Fernandina public course and visit the Palace Saloon, but never again since I found N Hampton. Tough, beautiful, links style with plenty of elevation changes, water and sand. Generally wide enough fairways so only stray shots or poor distance control finds the hazards - ball control and tee selection to match your handicap greatly improves scoring. Beautiful views, great fairways, generous greens - a round on a course you will not soon forget...

One of the best

Every hole is a challenge. Elelvation changes and rolling fairways stand out among area courses that are relatively flat. From the blue tees back you better bring your control game, or a lot of balls. Great layout, fast greens, lush fairways, one of the best and toughest around

Good value for the area

The course staff were great and worked with us on changing our initial tee time because it was a rainy day. We played the course 3x during the week we were in the area. Enjoyed each time we played.

Great layout.

Challenging layout, greens rolled true. Bunkers were in good shape and easy to control shots out of. Should of hit 3 iron off a few teeboxes, but other than that, the course is fairly open.. Lots of undulations and tough green reads.

Excellent Condition

The Golf Club at North Hampton was in excellent condition and the staff was very personable and helpful. One issue was the absence of the starter, we waited for about ten minutes and went off the first tee without ever seeing him. The beverage cart was timely and the girl was polite. We only saw a ranger once and really wish there was one on the back nine as two guys ahead of us did not know the meaning of ready golf or how to take less than 20 minutes to play a hole. These two clowns repeatedly waited and stood in the middle of the fairway before taking their next shot. They also spent more time hunting for someone else's lost ball in the woods/water than playing the game. The lack of a competent ranger made us skip the last two holes as it had already taken over 2 1/2 hours to complete the seven holes on the back nine. There was no one ahead of these guys and they were just complete slow, old morons. I would return to play this course as everything was well done except the need for a ranger. I made it known to the staff that the lack of a ranger that would move these guys along or allow us to play through was needed.
