Hammock Beach Resort - The Ocean Course

Must play great design 6holes on ocean
Very challenging in windy condition
Club selection very important

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful facility and in very good shape, but if at any time your expecting to be standing on a green looking out at the Atlantic Ocean, it never happens. Unfortunately all the holes that border the water are separated by a high wall of vegetation. Other than those holes there is no reason to travel a long distance to play this course for the $ they ask. I'm from Tampa and drove 2.5 hrs to play it. Lake Jovita in Tampa just as nice. If you just want to hear the surf then you can take your chances. I'd drive 30 minutes north and play Tpc sawgrass for the same price.

Had a marvelous day of golf at this facility. Fortunately I played on a GolfNow reward otherwise the green fee rate was pricey but unlike some of the other high end golf courses in the region this one was worth the cost. Everything about the golf course was first rate from the driving range, practice facility and golf course lay out.

I have had the privilege of playing this course multiple times and it ranks in my top 3, easily. The 18th hole is beautiful and runs right along the ocean. The resort overlooks the 18th which offers even greater views.

If you do play the course, I highly recommend staying at the resort and getting the full experience as they make a perfect golf/vacation getaway.

Also...don't forget about The conservatory!

The course and greens were in excellent condition. You could not ask for a more scenic golf course it was just beautiful. After a 40 min delay at the tee we never saw another group

The weather was very nice, but wind was blowing about 15-20, made course very difficult. Course conditions were good not great, in process of over seeding when we played. But with several holes right on the Atlantic made for great setting!

We got a good deal to play to course, fortunately! Otherwise we would have felt that we paid too much compared to what you get at other courses.
We were treated very well, nice staff! The course design is very nice, lot's of water but it's fair to play even for beginners. The course was in great conditions, greens were fast, fairways very well maintained. The course is along the ocean but not at all of the six ocean-holes offer ocean-feeling or views. The course flows thru various neighborhoods what we don't like that much. Compared to the Ocean course the conservatory at Hammock Beach offers much more remotness and a "being in the nature" feeling. Again, the ocean course is nice but there's better ones for the value.

HAD SEVERAL GLIMPSES OF THE OCEAN BUT NEVER SAW THE BEACH (EXCEPT THOSE GAURDING MOST OF THE GREENS). SPEAKING OF TRAPS, I EXPIERENCED FIRST-HAND SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONSISTANCIES OF FILLERS,i.e. CRUSHED SEASHELL, SUGAR-WHITE,& LOOSE BROWN SOIL. ALL-IN-ALL A VERY NICE COURSE.

No stress to play due to wide fairways . Windy day . Greens were perfect ( high speed level ) Pitching is the key for scoring.
Much more easy than Tom Watson Conservatory the other Hammock beach course.

Holes along the ocean are spectacular. Lots of similar holes, dogs leg left with water. Overall a good course but a bit pricy.

a great deal of fun. only problem that it is not well signed

Had an excellent day on this outstanding Ocean course. One of Jacks best works. Excellent condition, attentive staff and unspoiled views. Great track!

The course was setup great and tournament ready, which is expected at a Nicklaus design. The location near the ocean is wonderful, which also makes scoring a premium. The "bear claw" final four finish is great but difficult. The starter was the only staff member that seemed cordial and wanted to be there.This is a "cash free" resort course, that will charge you resort taxes on things from the pro shop to the cart girl. A general feeling I thought was that a lack of membership leads to lack of quality service at this course.

The Ocean Course was a perfect blend of challenging layout and scenic beauty. Every hole was tough but fair if you play the tees that match your game. Biting off more than you can handle could make for a long day.

The course was nice and since my greens fees were discounted considerably thru Golfnow it was worth it. the best thing was the group I was paired with. They were absolutely great.

Awesome course,greens are true but hard to read and make putts,Bring your wind breaker

This is a fantastic golf course. It deserves every award that it has recieved. The greens are in perfect condition, there's not a blade of grass out of place. The Ocean Holes are outstanding and every aproach shot is challenging.

The staff at this course makes this a phenomonal value. For example, while our foursome was on the range, the starter noticed we were directly behind 4 elderly women and nobody was in front of them. He moved us in front of the other group and we played in just over 3.5 hours. The course was in good but not great condition. The greens had some "winter wear" on them but were above average. The tee boxes and fairways were immaculate.

Loved the ocean views , condition of the greens and fairways perfect, challenging but fair. Will play again.

The fairways are in excellent condition. The majority of the greens are in excellent condition. A few had a couple of rough spots. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. It is a beautiful setting! I would definitely play this course again!
