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.

Slow play, punched greens

Course was good. Punched greens were bad. Slowest play ever. No marshal to manage. Three groups waiting on 14th tee.

South Hampton

Staff was great - that is ALWAYS the case at South Hampton - We were the first ones out so the pace of play was excellent. The greens, which were recently punched were in bad (not brutal) shape. It would have been nice knowing the conditions of the greens before we played but that seems to be the new normal here in Florida. I WOULD recommend this place once the greens get back to where they should be.

Great Design

Amazing layout and fun. The heat has the greens in bad shape but everything else was in good shape. If you like being able to hit big on all the holes, definitely the course to play.

Sandy Greens

As much as I enjoy this course...I understand aeration and the need for it...You should tell customers how sandy the greens are and reduce tve price....Impossible to putt on...

What happened to SH?

I’m not sure what has happened in the recent months but this course seems to be progressively going downhill. Tall weeds scattered throughout fairways and around greens, practice area was straight dirt and the greens themselves are in terrible condition. Check in staff is hit or miss, some are friendly others act as though they are being forced to stand there and do their job. Also seems odd they charge nearly $15 more to pay in person compared to paying through Golf Now.

Hot and humid day

Was a hot and humid day but managed to get around in just about 3 hours. I think a lot of groups succumbed to the heat and quit after 9 holes. The course - tees and fairways- were excellent. The greens not so much. Actually poor. Do know when they were aerated but with the rain and heat I would think they would show some signs of life. They don’t. Back nine and front nine #9 were basically cart path only which may have been why groups chose to stop after nine.

Management is absent

None of the sand traps contain the same type of sand. Some are nothing but clay with puddles in the bottom of them. Those that have rakes half of the rakes are broken. There are clumps of goose grass all over the course, especially around the tees and greens. The greens are currently unputtable due to constant sanding verti cutting. Personally, of the four courses on County Road 210, South Hampton will be my last choice to play.

I can tell you the golf course is a cow pasture. The employees work very hard and they’re all very nice. But half of the sand traps are clay. There are very few rakes. And half of those are broken. The traps are not groomed up to the edge. The greens are currently unputtable There is goose grass everywhere. They spray it with herbicides during the day, when there are players around who get to breathe the herbicide. The tee boxes are not level. The starters had to pay for their own air conditioning unit in the starter shack. And the driving range is a cow pasture. These conditions have existed for months and months and months. It seems the owners just do not care. Shame on them!

Condition of the greens

Tees and fairways were excellent . Bathrooms on the course were locked. Greens were surprisingly poor. They were dry and bumpy. Looked like they had been sanded at some recent point. Quite disappointing which is too bad.

Wow, what happened to the greens?

Over the last couple of years, South Hampton has been a very good course. Fairly open off tee with nicely conditioned tee boxes and fairways. Also a pretty good layout with a balance of straight holes, dog-leg left, and dog-leg right. The problem is they have pretty much lost the greens. Sandy, bumpy, very slow. Pretty much, not puttable. I know it is aerification season, but this appears to be a far bigger problem than just "recovering from punching them." These greens are pretty much the same as Hyde Park, with no offense to Hyde Park as I know they don't have the money for better greens. South Hampton does have the money and should have a better product than this for what they charge. I say go somewhere else until they fix their greens.
