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.

One of my favorite in the area/ punched greens

This is one of if not my favorite course in the Amelia Island area. Have played there 3 times now since moving to the South Georgia area a few months ago and it is always challenging.

The layout is perfect with strategically placed water and the occasional elevation change.

Staff is super friendly and there’s always someone right there to help you with your clubs. Sometimes hard to find a starter but could be because I usually play around noon or later.

My only small issue (not sure if it falls on Golfnow or the club) is that I was not told prior to my round that the holes were recently punched. Nothing wrong with servicing the course obviously but I would like to be warned by either GolfNow or the club when I book if the greens were recently punched.

Overall I love the course and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good course at a fair price in the North Florida/South Georgia area.

Love the links-style layout

This is a very challenging course but a lot of risk-reward opportunities. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The only downside was the greens had been punched so putting was a challenge. Will definitely play again soon. Traffic can be a challenge so plan plenty of drive time. And there's a train crossing.

First Time Playing

Great course near JAX

Was at JAX airport with an afternoon available and picked this course from Golf Now as I sat in the rental car at the terminal. A quick 15-20 minute drive north from the airport I arrived at North Hampton to play as a single.

Greeted in lot by staff who kindly delivered a cart to my car. I checked in had an excellent time as a single on a Thursday afternoon. Pace of play was great, the course fairways were in nice condition and the course layout was fun. Be sure to grab a course guide at the pro shop. This old school booklet had excellent intel for each hole and definitely saved me a few strokes. While homes are near the course, the homes don’t ”come into play”, as is the case with many Florida courses.

The course was challenging and fair. All tee boxes in nice shape, fairways were well kept and greens in good condition.

Sunday afternoon

Great course and layout. Course conditions good, greens a little sow. Tried getting food at turn (couple of BLTs). Called order in after 7th hole and still had to wait 10 minutes when we made the turn, no personality from bar staff. Very slow service, complaints from the guys at the bar about slow service. Only complaint I had.

Excellent Public Course

Fairways and greens lush. Interesting terrain. Some forced carries. Traps have good sand. Huge greens, moderate speed. Have to hit putts firm to get all the way to the hole. Excellent value for a better than average public course. Worth replaying.

Hot Deals not appreciated

I do not appreciate being treated as a second class customer because I booked a hot deal with Golf Now

That was embarrassing for my guests from Germany

The course generally looks in need of better care far worse condition than we have experienced a couple of years ago

We will never return

We are sorry that this is the impression you were left with. There must have been some miscommunication on our part for you to feel this way. We try to be equally as friendly with everyone that sets foot on our property, regardless of where they booked their reservation. We would certainly like to know more so we can address the issue on our end.
