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.

horrible shape

It’s the worst condition I’ve ever seen south Hampton. Really not sure how they can charge what they do. You can tell they aren’t putting money back into the course. Not rangers and kids skipping holes.

Don’t this beat all. One of the two South Hampton owners was seen playing at STILLWATER today. Instead of paying attention to his course, which is in much needed repair. Must be nice to have daddy’money!

It was a much better course when Hampton Golf was in charge. These new owners are clueless. IMHO I’m told daddy bought the course for them and they spend all their time in Ponte Vedra. TRY STILLWATER JUST A MILE FURTHER WEST ON COUNTY ROAD 210 IT IS PRISTINE!

Dry and sandy

We found this course to have greens that were overly sanded and consisted of a far too hard surface to be a fair play. There seem to be little grass left on these greens as they were aged and dried out beyond repair. There was an over abundance also of sand bunkers which were in manageable condition but so numerous they became tedious for the round.

Having played another course the day before without these conditions they became obvious that we have to check reviews before we book two times in the future while traveling to this area.

Sand Everywhere

I enjoyed playing the course with my wife and another couple from Toronto we were paired with. However, I felt like I spent the entire afternoon in the sand! Most greens protected front and sides by deep sand traps. Fairway sand traps in all the wrong places! The good news is I was able to get a lot of practice.

Good layout

Enjoyed the course, but could be in better shape. I’d imagine they’ll get it top notch in a month or so.

Pretty disappointing

We went to play on Saturday March 2nd after a few months and I have to say that the conditions of the course in general were pretty poor. It’s not because of the time of the year. That has nothing to do with the conditions of the course. We’ve played in other courses recently and the difference is huge. Playing in South Hampton is not cheap, so we honestly expect better conditions. Cimarrone has improved immensely; the fairways, tee boxes, greens, golf carts, in general everything much better than South Hampton, and cheaper!!! We believe is time the management starts doing some serious renovations and maintenance if they are going to keep charging so much for a round. Otherwise, we will keep going elsewhere.

Concrete greens

First time playing this course and we would not return in the future. The greens were hard as concrete with little grass left. Probably due to dry conditions and age of the grass. They need to be redone. We like the challenge of sand traps but this course is excessive with the placement and number of traps. Given the other options in the area, we opt to play elsewhere.

Not worth the price

South Hampton used to charge in the $40-$45 range to play & course was always in good shape. Now they charge $55-$65 and the course is in poor shape. Greens are rock hard with no grass at all. Balls hitting green runs off 90% of the time. Fairways rock hard and no grass, mostly dirt.

Very disappointing!

TO ALL GOLFERS EVERYWHERE

Average at best

Played mid-morning on Saturday in late February.

The Good- pace of play was good, even approaching great on this nice/busy day. Carts in good shape (but no GPS/tracking/speakers). Enjoyable course layout.

The Bad - The course has had a lot of play and it shows, particularly on the greens, which are thin and fast. Tee boxes and fairways in fair condition considering time of year.

Overall, I will play this course again, but will make sure I find a discount to make sure it’s worth price.

No golf karts for tee time

To be fair I booked this reservation through GolfNow and not the course: When I arrived I checked in and paid. Guy at front desk didn't let me know that each tee time was approx 30 minutes behind. He also didn't let me know that there were currently no carts available. Sat around at the cart pick-up area for around 20 minutes or so. Got paired up with (2) over 90 year olds and started around an hour late... Was only able to play until the 13th hole due to poor communication by the office staff and even worse management by the elderly starter/on-course Marshal. Greens sucked as well - very fast. Would have had better luck putting on cart path.

Take your friends to Cimarrone across CR210 and to Stillwater just up CR210 from South Hampton. You and your friends will not be disappointed!
