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.

Great value

This course needs some TLC but the staff seems to be addressing as quick as they can. Greens are still being repaired. Some fairway issues but being repaired.

Great value for the price they are currently charging.

Nice layout and course conditions

The layout of the course made it a very fun place to play and conditions were very good. The only complaint I had is that some of the staff on course were not the friendliest but other than that was very happy with my experience.

I recommend playing here. After being scared off by some of the reviews recently about conditions, I decided to go back and see for myself what the course was like. I’m now convinced more than ever people are paying $50 and expecting the course to look like the ones they see on TV. The greens were a little slow, but if slow greens means keeping grass alive in the summer so be it. While there are some areas of maybe one or two greens that had a small bald spot, the greens were in decent shape overall. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape as well. If you’re the kind of person who’s going to be upset that a slow green or a small imperfection is going to throw off your putt and turn your 92 into a 93, maybe hold off until the fall or pay up to go play sawgrass.

Still Needs Work and Not There Yet

Overall, I give this course a 3 out of 5. Used to be my favorite as it was fun to play, wide open, challenging, and in great shape, but its slipped a little. I'm not going harp on the greens much as the course is playable, but I wouldn't pay top dollar in the mornings or on weekends as there are better options for similar prices. There are still too many corners and areas of greens that need better repair work and the same goes for the fairways and some tee boxes. It looks like there were multiple sprinkler line breaks across the fairways that were just never filled, rolled, and seeded/sodded properly. Many areas need some more water too. I realize that it takes time and I feel they are working on it, but they're not there yet or close enough. Perhaps they are trying to get by until next year when I hear the greens are being completely redone? I'm excited for when that happens, but in the meantime I'm going to use discretion.

Better than expected

Have to say I had low expectations based on ratings on here and word of mouth, but have to say , yes the greens are coming in in some places, others have patchy spots but it’s much improved since January and the greens putted true considering how they looked. I’ve paid more $$ for worse conditions in ST John’s county in the last 5 years so it’s not bad unless you’re looking for country club conditions at their prices. It’s worth a try at this price and good news is they are going offline next summer for a complete redo.

Weird and bad shape

Course is spray painted, and in really rough shape. Maybe in a few years it will be better but not now. Not for $85…

Needs a lot of work

This course use to be my favorite course I I even considered membership. It is in such bad shape now though. Greens are in horrible shape with patchy grass. There are so many different types of grass on the greens mown at different heights.

Fairways are decent though are not draining well. Several spots were wet and balls would plug on a dry day.

Tee box’s are not well maintained and have patchy areas of sand on about all of them.

Just really disappointed with the whole experience.
