Golf Club At South Hampton

SH closed the course all Summer to redo the greens. They were terrible. So many patched area. I am shocked how rough they were especially because they shut down to redo all of them? Fairways are in really bad shape, but we've received so much rain. I gave them a pass. But the rain should have been amazing for new greens. What's going on? BTW - I love SH. Will go back again and again... but let's get this under control.

In all fairness, we had one of the rainiest weeks in a long time here in NE Florida, so that may taint my review. However, I did see some of it before the rains, so that is part of my review as well.

The changes are…..well, just ok. Nothing spectacular or memorable. Not a huge fan of a few of them, but to each his or her own.

Part of me wonders if they didn’t open too quickly. There were definitely some rough patches on several greens and even their Facebook page has alluded to several greens still not where they want them.

I also just have to say this and maybe I am not right here, but I swear it seemed like there were some tee boxes and fairways that should have been more grown in and lush after 5 months of no play. However, I couldn’t help but think that they didn’t fertilize a bunch of areas. Now, these areas could have looked great before the deluge we had, so take that with a grain of salt. However, I felt that way about #2 fairway and #3 tee and approach, as well as #4 fairway. I quit keeping mental notes after that.

I will give them another shot in the spring next year but probably not until then. I just know St John’s (both county and off 210) and King and Bear didn’t leave me the same feeling when they reopened. I never felt “meh.”

Curious as to what others think.

Everything about this place is trash,

Owners- trash. Course- trash. Staff attitude? -trash.

Range is a dirt pit.

The course was in horrible shape and the worst I've ever seen. They are planning to redo all of the greens and tees starting May 1st, but it appears they stopped watering it weeks ago. Funny how the practice greens actually had grass growing on them that needed cutting as everyone else was either dead or burnt up. I understand that they're redoing the greens and tees, but then maybe shut the course down weeks prior when the irrigation stopped and not charge full price. It was like putting on a concrete driveway and all the ball did was bounce all-over the place through the fairways and greens(would call them browns).

I've enjoyed playing here previously under good conditions but felt taken advantage of. You could easily see more than 30 cup cuts on the greens that didn't grow in due to no water and it was pathetic.

The greens are just destroyed. It’s like golfing on ice and on the moon at the same time. No warning upfront or disclaimers, no discount on bookings.In fact it’s the highest price Ive ever paid at that course. The ranger told us our pace was slow. Never been called out by a ranger for a slow pace in 20+ years of golfing. And we finished well under 4 hours in a 4some.

From what I hear, starting very soon they're going to overhaul the greens and the tee boxes, which desperately need it..... great layout, Fair course ,scoreable Etc, but plenty of Hazards to get into if you are not on that day

They are closing to redo the course. Which is fine. But they have completely stopped taking care of the course or customers. To still charge that amount of money was a complete rip off

The greens had No grass, flat and smooth. Impossible to control speed and direction of ball. Fairway were dry and hard with little grass.

Charged $60.00 dollars to play a course that should have been closed down. I’m shocked they didn’t return my money.

Not worth the cost. Course was in horrible shape. Can’t wait for them to revamp the course this summer.

Horrible dead greens and fairways should not be open to public no mention of condition from pro or starter

The greens are so fast they are unplayable in some cases.

Good news: greens will all be redone in the next several months.

Bad news: not warning people prior to booking your round

Impossible putting conditions for everyone. Also fairway grass is being overtaken by a weed.

Great layout,but expensive considering course conditions. Other courses offer senior rates which is why I switched to weekly play.

According to the staff the course will be shutting down to replace the greens. They will be closed for 5 months. The course now is playable. The greens are fast and bare but rolling nice.

Bunkers are nice, fairways are playable but stating to deteriorate.

Looking forward to returning in October.

Tee boxes were 80% sand and greens, I’m not sure what they were, but definitely not grass. Waste of money!!
