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.

Greens / approach has seen better days

When there is more sand / dirt on 7 out of 18 of your greens there is no reason to charge 75$ plus to play a course that should play for $45 untill conditions subside.

Would play again

Very good course. A bit more than somewhat challenging.

Needs A TON of attention

This course is in the absolute worst condition I have ever seen. The greens are completely burnt out with giant sand spots in them, you can actually feel the grass crunching under your feet ( what grass is there). Very bumpy, bare and unplayable. Tee boxes and fairways were not much better. At 45 bucks don’t waste your money. A disappointment

Disappointed-Won't be back

Played this course for the 2nd time in two years. We come down every March for THE PLAYERS. Last year the course was nice and prompted me to reserve a tee-time for this year's trip. This year the course was in poor shape, the fairways were sparse and the greens were even worse. South Hampton just feel out of our yearly rotation. We won't be back.

Greens are in rough shape

I love the layout of the course as there is some tight tee shots and small greens. They are losing the greens unfortunately. They roll fast but extremely bouncy with areas that are sand. Pace of play was abysmal. Hopefully the greens crew can turn it around for summer.

2nd Time was a Disappointment

Played this course last March when we were in town for THE PLAYERS. It was in much better condition then. Fairways were thin and greens were in poor condition. You stand on the apron and can see dozens of previous cup changes. The grass was thin but surprisingly the surfaces rolled rather well.

Hats off to the bag drop attendant, pro shop attendant, starter, and the kid cleaning clubs on the 18th. All were very pleasant, professional, and polite. Will look at other courses in the future.

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.
