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 Still Bad

I played here because of a few reviews saying that the greens had recovered. They haven't. They were spray painted bright green which actually turned my white putter green. Very shaggy and bumpy.

Other than that it's a pretty cool course and layout. Fairways were good. Tee boxes were ok. Staff was nice. I wouldn't play again until I had confirmation of green recovery from someone I know.

Bob Ross was here

Look, you can’t make this up even if you wanted to. Every single green in this golf course was in bad shape and painted. Fairways OK for the most part, but the tee boxes oh my Lord, I mean they need help. There is not other way to put it.

Such a Shame

South Hampton used to be one of the best daily fee tracks in the area, but yesterday the course conditions were miserable at best and the once gem of the area is now gone. Staff wasn't helpful with slow play and we didn't see anyone else besides the beverage cart staff, who ran out of ice...the layout is fun, but the green complexes and surrounds are just awful.

Certainly not worth a 5 hour round in the heat.

Course has a nice and fair layout

Fairways in great shape. The greens are recovering after fungus attached them last year. A few bald areas on greens on front 9 but back 9 greens are much better.

Great round at SH

From tee boxes, to fairways and greens, SH is a solid 8 out of 10 right now. Do not listen to people complaining (usually the same people), just play the course and see for yourself. Is it perfect? No, but it is in great shape and playing better every week. Hit em straight🏌️

S Hampton

Fun course. The only problem was the back nine. There was a ladies group about 4 groups ahead of us that was exceptionally slow. There was a separation on about 3 holes between the ladies and the group in front of them. Course advisor could not get them to move along. But it was only on the back nine it impacted us and we still played in about 4 hrs.

Minor irritation.

Looking Good

I played this course July 23 , 2025 , I know they have some issues but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff is doing a GREAT job getting this course back in shape. From the time I walked onto the practice green until the last shot it was a great day. Staff at check in was very friendly . Course is really coming around. There are still a few spots on a couple of greens but nothing serious given the shape the course was in a year ago. We are definitely putting it back on our schedule. It’s a great layout and a big salute to management for getting it back it has always been one of my favorite courses since moving to Jacksonville. Keep up the good work ! If you left because of course conditions in the past I would highly recommend a second look you will not be disappointed!!

Not worth it.

Average at best. And the Pro Shop staff are ridiculous. Wanted to charge a full green fee for a rider. Only good if you can get it for under $30.

Recovering course

Course coming back to what you expect at South Hampton. Greens still have some improvement to go but are just about 100%back. Some Tee Boxes still need some work. Fairways are in good shape. Looking forward to my next round her soon!

Good value

Overall good value. Good course layout. Was surprised though when arriving on the 1st tee and and being told that I couldn't have a cart to myself, even though I paid. WHAT?!?!

Several of the greens had portions that were unplayable.

What a difference

The grounds crew at SH have done a great job bringing it back. The greens were almost filled out and rolled pretty true (just slow while they grow back). Unfortunately the bunkers were filled with water from the morning rain and had not drained, but were fine the day after. We played at $45 and it was well worth that rate!

Good Day for Rain (Not!)

Course was in good shape. A couple of greens recovering around the edges. Rain the previous days led to cart path only on about 9 holes. Staff was great. Got to the 17th green and the rain started pouring down. Course held its own by the amount of rain.
