The Golf Club at South Hampton was designed to give every golfer appropriate risk-and-reward opportunities that supply both encouragement to beginners and challenges for more advanced players. The slope and contour of the course’s landscape is its trademark with strategic mounding and over 60 contoured bunkers that emphasize the terrain’s natural undulations. The course features rolling fairways and massive greens. There are also sixteen large lakes that come into play throughout. The signature hole is the tremendous par-5, 17th, which is a scenic hole that features a lake, fairway bunkers, and a breaking green. Although the course is a challenge, there are six sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels.

I get it, that time of year all courses price are inflated. But the greens were not maintained. So rough and bumpy. I would have rather spent double the money at dyes valley. Not worth the $90 I spent to play at south hampton

Course needs work

Like a lot of courses right now in north Florida, the course is not in very good shape. Fairways thin but greens are poor. Greens were not cut or rolled this day, due to so much healing application laid down. Hopefully will recover as they layout is nice. Range is a disaster

What happened to this course…?

10-20 golf rounds in Florida between Orlando and St Augustine. I have never seen a Florida course in such bad shape. What makes it worse, 79 bucks. Greens were unplayable and fairways were not much better. Dang… I came to Florida to hit off green grass and got a big disappointment.

Price is ridiculous

Course condition and pricing doesn’t match. Wait until management decide to do something.

Brutal

Can’t believe the price they are charging to play this goat track. I would only play if it was less than 30$ just to get some reps in. Need to shut down for a little to save this place

Disappointing

Have played this course about once/year over the last four years and typically found it in great condition. Not sure what has gone wrong but the greens are now in terrible condition and the fairways are marginal - especially on the front nine. I cannot recommend this course in this condition and paying full price would add insult to injury. Hopefully they will invest some appropriate effort to bring this course back to playable condition.

Course was OK - greens are in bad shape

The layout was for this course was OK - but the greens were in BAD shape.. Weeds were actually growing on some of the greens and we all were disappointed at the shape they were in.

Nice staff, pretty good driving range and practice area. They need to fix the greens. Cicerone GC is across the street and is is in much better shape.

Course is like a cow pasture

The owners are redesigning the entire course next year so they have not irrigated anywhere on the course in months. At this time it is a $25 a round value.

Course has gotten a lot better since last summer and it’s a wide course that is not punishing. Rough hides your ball well but other than that good solid course. I have now played here about 20 times
