Immaculate

I was extremely impressed with the course conditions here, not a single blade of grass out of place on a single hole, other than #8s green. Really incredible for this time of year. I will be back several times this year.

Tough course from the tips, very manageable from blues or whites which we played. Good practice range, putting green, great little clubhouse with good food. This has become my new favorite course in the Savannah area. $46 specials on Golf Now too

Nice course

Overall, I liked the course. People were friendly and let me through as a single.

17 of the greens were in great shape, #8 is gone, looks like fungus. Tee boxes were not in great shape but fairways were very good. Overall 4 stars but easily could be 5 with some improvements.

Pleasant Pace for a Saturday Afternoon

This was our 3rd or 4th time playing at Sapelo Hammock, but our first on the back 9. What a nice surprise, and we had the whole course to ourselves on a perfectly warm weekend afternoon. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and we look forward to playing here on our annual escape south for the month. As a couple, we’re a beginner and low intermediate, and find the course challenging but not too difficult to enjoy.

Another great day at Sapelo...

My wife and I always try to play Sapelo when visiting the Georgia coast, got a great last minute deal on Golf Now. Course was in great condition, weather wonderful with some April wind. Arrived a little early and staff just go when you're ready. Enjoyed an awesome round.

Great course with an excellent cafe

Salem’s Hammock is a beautiful course. The greens are very well-maintained, and the scenery is incredible. Also, the Sapelo Hot Ham and Cheese in the cafe was delicious.

Very pleasantly surprised

This is a beautiful course. It is built thru natural forests. Very few homes to hit. The fairways are still a bit sparse from winter but will fill in nicely. The greens were absolutely beautiful and rolled true. Best greens I've played in a while. Not especially quick but very fair. Done in 3 1/2 hours. They even provided outstanding weather :-). Well worth the drive.
