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.

Terrible Condition and No Rangers on Course

The course was in terrbile conditon. The absolute wrost ive seen in Jacksonville. It used to be one of the nicest and you would go there to play and shoot low. Weeds everywhere. Greens sand pits. Teh company that bought them needs to consider a change in undustries. 4 and 1/2 hours to play with a 2 some. There was no ranger to push the guys in front of us faster. Wehn we got to 18 they apologized for the slow play. The groups in front of us caused a back up of 3 grouips on each tee box after hole 5. $60 to play at 118 is rediculous for the conditions. I will honestly never go again.

Poor Greens

Paying a premium Price(65 on golf Now) for terrible greens. Other area of course are lacking grass. We have not played here in at least 8 months due to higher cost compared to Courses in the area. We will not be back until conditions vastly improve. Oh yeah and no GPS on carts.

Really disappointed. We had a 30% discount today.

Sad shape

Used to be my favorite course..great layout..

Other reviews are correct it's in terrible shape..dirt holes in the greens..

Some greens were used to plug others with 40 old cup holes poorly filled..

Range is a dirt path as has been the case for a long time.. They should have invested in good mats rather than adding more range flags

$30 to $40 is the max they should be charging

Nice, well maintained and very courteous staff. Layout could be challenging from back tees but a forgiving course as well.

Not so Greens

I gotta tell you this is tough because I really do enjoy this golf course. But the condition of the greens have been, and continue to be terrible. This place has such a great layout and is a comfortable round for the average player, but the greens are gonna keep me from going back until I hear they’ve made massive improvements

Once Great, Now Dilapidated

Excellent course layout is all it has going for it. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were chewed up and weedy. Putting was nearly impossible.

Course needs serious work.

The front 9 is in horrible shape. Greens are awful. Course is full of weeds. Probably the worst I've ever seen it. The back 9 is in surprisingly decent shape. They should really be charging less for the condition it's in. Fire the guy that washes clubs and hire more greenskeepers.

Once Great, Now in Ruin

The fairways, teeboxes and greens are all chewed up and filled with weeds. This course is worth HALF of what they charge, if that.

Putting Greens

We played on Friday afternoon at 3pm (3/29/24), 7 out of the first 9 holes were horrible and 3 of them were unplayable, SH should of advised of the conditions before paying that kind of money ($58) - definitely not worth it.. The back 9 were better with a few of them having issue but not as bad of the front nine, Before going out on this course check out the conditions..
