Rating 74.0

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.

Great course

Greens were just punched a cut a few weeks ago so they are sandy and will slow putts done. Greens will be perfect in a week or two. Great course and conditions are pretty good usually

Good course for the money.

I caught the twilight fee. Good deal for the price. Lots of amateurs slowing down play but got 13 holes in.

Most fairways pretty forgiving. Descent greens.

Great price performer

This is a very enjoyable layout that doesn't beat you up too much. Wide landing areas, well bunkers and relatively good greens. (They were still a little choppy from recent aeration)

Well worth the money for sure.

Nice layout

I find that the course has 2 distinct 9s. The front nine is open and pretty straight forward. The back 9 is moreshoemaker. Good contrast. Today (10/29) the greens were recovering from being verticut, so didn't roll normally. The tee boxes were thin in places. Fairways and rough were in very good shape. Overall well be back for sure.

Greens in great shape

South Hampton is a good local golf course. The greens are in fantastic condition currently. Rolling fast and true. At times, South Hampton greens are very slow, however they are perfect right now.

The course was in great shape. The greens were nice and fast but some were a little bumpy but most rolled really nice and true. Would definitely play here again.

Course was in good condition

Always enjoy playing here. The group in front of us was slow, but it was a beautiful day so that helped the waiting.

Not my first choice

I will play elsewhere on my next visit to Fla. Had to pay $20 extra so my wife could ride along in the golf cart, not too pleased with that. Course was in pretty good shape. I started as a single and was paired with another single on the second hole, he was a decent guy and had played there frequently. We played behind a threesome of women for the front nine. On the backnine it suddenly morphed into a fivesome yes a fivesome. They had no intention of letting us play through nor were they fast. My playing partner called the clubhouse to tell them it was a fivesome but seeing we had just a few holes left it was no big deal. The ranger talked to them and they were actually upset we had the audacity to complain that they were a fivesome! At that point they became a threesome and a twosome. There was nobody behind us for at least two or three holes. They actually waited by the 18th green to yell at my playing partner.. No commonsense but a huge sense of entitlement by these Karen members! So no I will not play this course again.
