Rating 75.0

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.

lighten fast greens

Fastest greens that I have ever played. Very nice course with friendly staff, however the pace was extremely slow. Took over 2 hours for the front nine. Group of 5 ahead of us would not let a 2-some play through. Found out later that there was a tournament ahead of us which was slowing every down. Only played 3 holes on the back nine which took over an hour. Left due to slow play and weather.

Best value in Northeast FL!

Of all the courses in NE FL, this is by far the best value. Amazing layout that is a breath of fresh air from the dozens of cookie-cutter courses in the area. Elevation changes, fescue rough, and lightning fast greens make this easily one of the best courses in the state. Can't wait to play it again!

Excellent layout. The par 5's make the course.

Course has matured into a great course. The cosmetic changes recently made have greatly enhanced playability. The sand traps greatly need attention. Too inconsistent. Some have quality sand - others a thin layer of dirt. My only complaint.

greens were a little bit worn. other than that great course.

Course overall in very good shape. Greens were not that good. Staff friendly. Had to wait for carts for about 20 minutes. Very busy day. Weather was terrible. But still enjoyed the golf.

GPS is very helpful.

Greens were true, may be starting to show a little wear in a very few spots. I've played there a few times over the last few years, and it is always in good shape.

N.FLA must play golf course!!

This is a really nice course. Always very well maintained no matter what the time of year. Practice facilities are great as well. I play this course often since it's become my favorite, love the GPS in all carts. The greens here are always in the best of condition than anyone else in the area again no matter the time of year. My only complaint for this club is the clubhouse itself. Everytime, I've ordered my food from the 8th tee box and everytime it's not ready when I get to the clubhouse. Pre-ordering food to keep pace of place on time only works if the food is ready when you get there. The staff doesn't seem to be to friendly or helpful but that may just be my perception based on not being satisfied with the timeliness.

This course is a very challenging and fun tract. Choose the Tees that fit your game and use all of your clubs for good cours emanagement. From the whites there are a few reachable Par 4's . Everything from the tee boxes , fairways, and greens are in great shape.

Very enjoyable round.

The course was in excellent shape. The holes were different and despite fact it was built in community, not one of those Florida courses where you felt like they squeezed a course in around the homes.

A true masterpiece.

Stunning course, excellent conditions. Not for the faint of heart, however! Would recommend to mid/low handicappers who appreciate a challenge. Fair yardage from the ladies' tee, not always the case with Mr. Palmer. A baller's delight - bring plenty of balls, your camera and your A game.

Best course to play for your money!

This was the best course we played on our recent trip to the Jacksonville, FL area. Not only was this course in good condition, but an unbelievable vaule (compared to other area courses) as well. A challenging course that is in excellent condition. Many difficult holes that require good shot placement in the fairway in order to get close to some pretty challenging pin locations. Greens were in great shape, rolled true, contained a lot of slope, and required proper placing in order score well. People working at this place couldn't have been nicer, which made this experience exceptional. If you only have one shot at a course on your trip, this one is it!!

very nicely set up and enjoyable to play you are playing well

I love the layout of the course. requires caution but can be real risk reward course. tempted to be aggressive but restrained play pays off. the greens demands your attention or 3 putts can be easily had all day.
I really love the course and the GPS system saved a few strokes.

Great North East Florida course

I play North Hampton a couple of times a month and always find it to be challenging and in great shape. The price of 18 holes can be a bit expensive, but Golf Now certainly helps to make it affordable.
