Course was in great shape and the greens were great - and fast! Course is a bit difficult to find, but worth the drive to locate. Also the course is spread out, so use a cart!

Another great day at Sapelo Hammock

We always try to get over to Sapelo Hammock when visiting the Georgia coast. Even though we played just a week or so from Hurricane Helene blasting through the area, the course had been cleaned up and was in great condition. (which is more that I can say for the courses at Jekyll Island) Staff is always friendly and that helps make it a great day of golf.

Honey Hole

Sapelo Hammock Golf Club offers a scenic and enjoyable golfing experience in Georgia's picturesque low country, featuring live oak trees draped with Spanish moss and expansive marsh views. The course layout is interesting and challenging, with a variety of tee boxes that provide different strategic approaches for players of all skill levels. While the greens may occasionally be slow or in need of maintenance, the friendly staff, free range balls, and overall value make Sapelo Hammock a worthwhile destination for golfers seeking a unique and satisfying round.

Layout was fine, greens had all been sanded

$75 for sanded greens. Every green had a huge layer of sand and no one in the clubhouse said anything. Layout was fine but greens made it a waste.

Great layout!

Really enjoyed this layout, lots of interesting tee boxes with different approaches/strategies on which club to pull. Only negative was how slow the greens were and some were not in that good of shape - more similar to a fringe consistency and made it hard to make putts. Really pretty course - would recommend!
