A Coastal Masterpiece!

Sapelo Hammock is a gem! Very interesting layout and the hardest par 3's in the state with challenges over the marsh and interesting club selection situations. This place is a bargain. You must try it if you travel in the area. Great staff.

Best course around

Sapelo Hammock is the best maintained course I have played on so far this year. I play every week so I have played many courses. The greens are in perfect condition. A few tee boxes need some work, but there was staff working on the course. Maintaining bunkers, spraying fertilizer/weed control, etc. you will not go wrong playing this course. It is challenging yet playable at the same time. Scenic views on both front and back nine. The staff is very friendly and professional. I also found out they have a room for rent above the club house and you can book it with discount tee times. There is a balcony on the west side of the room facing the 18th hole. The sunset must be amazing!

Great course for the money.

The course offers a challenge while being accessible to higher handicap golfers. The greens and fairways were in great shape. Bring bug spray!

Very picturesque

Everything was great except there were only two ball washers on the whole course… both placed too high for the average height male… way too high for ladies
Would be nice to have them on at least every second hole. Nicer if they put them on each golf cart … another extra $100 per cart.
Nice greens

Great course

We are here on holiday from England and staying in the area for a few days before going on to Hilton Head. Course was a delight - some testing holes, water, dog legs and tricky greens. All in all a great round on a very enjoyable course.

First time playing here and really enjoyed course. This course has a lot of character. Not a perfectly maintained course like on Hilton Head, but I think it was worth the 90 mile each way drive from the Island. It is a good layout with friendly people working there. I also met and played with two great guys. I highly recommend this course.

Great Layout and Views

I look forward to playing this course every Winter when I'm visiting Hilton Head. It's a 90 min drive South but worth it. EVERYONE is friendly and welcoming, even to women! This even applies to the other golfers on the course. So friendly!! The course conditions were somewhat rough (tee boxes and greens) BUT it's Winter conditions. You expect that when the grass goes dormant. I love the views, I love the tract and I love the staff. Always a fun day at Sapelo Hammock.

Beautiful course and quiet atmosphere. Bring your bug spray, driving range was covered in biting gnats, made warm up practically impossible but the practice facility is nice.
