The Golf Club at North Hampton offers a traditional Scottish links-style course right in northeast Florida. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the layout meanders through dramatic elevation changes of over 40 feet and ten spring-fed lakes lined with coquina boulders. Sprawled across rolling hills and wild grasses, the golf course is sculpted from beautiful Florida woodlands, offering a round that is as scenic as it is challenging. The Golf Club at North Hampton's hard-to-read greens are massive and move very quickly. There are also tight fairways, many of which feature blind approaches. To make it even trickier, strong winds often sweep through the course, some even reaching a speed of 30 miles an hour.

What happened to North Hampton

This used to be one of the best courses in all of Florida (10 plus years ago). So sad to say that it is not worth the time to play due to poor condition and lack of TLC in all areas of the course.
What once was a great track is now in terrible condition.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience. We have renovated bunkers, removed a number of unsightly waste areas, and improved the clubhouse and dining areas all since 2016. Looking at other reviews we've received in the last 12 months is reflective of these improvements.

Very challenging course but satisfying. Higher caliber course than I’m used to. Deceptively difficult approach shots.

Great layout

A fair test to the average golfer greens were a touch slow on the front but roll well. What I like about this course is every hole is different great variety of holes!

Worst shape in years

Have always loved this course.

We drive an hour to play it and I play it at least 4 times a year

It’s the worst I’ve seen it in the 5 years I’ve been playing out there.

To be fair it has been raining a bit. But the greens are covered in poana and the fairways aren’t much better.

North Hampton

OUCH!!! Challenging course that I could not rise up for the occasion. Greens fast and true. Course layout is good and accuracy rather than distance is critical for decent scoring and avoid 3-putts!!!

Excellent condition with fast greens

The overall course conditions were excellent except for the cart paths, which need some attention. The greens were fast and true if you pay attention to the features of the greens.

Great layout

Course was very challenging. Fairways were tight for a medium handicap golfer. Staff was great, explained the pin placements and gave a guide book with it. Will play again when I return to Jacksonville.

Wonderful fall day

My group of 4 absolutely loved the day of golf. The weather was a great break to have 75 degrees after a long hot summer of 90 plus temps. The course was breath taking with the elevated tee boxes and sloping hills. Fairway to green was in excellent shape. One of my partners had this course on is bucket list and he was very pleased with his outing. Numerous comments throughout the day about how we should come back and play this course again. We drove a little over an hour to play this course and it was well worth the drive. Sunday's during football season can sometimes be a difficult choice for golf but considering the Jaguars suck this year and they played a horrible game early in the morning in England we were able to salvage the day with some beautiful weather and good fellowship on a wonderful course.

1st time playing,from the Green tees.

Perused booklet of layout in pro shop. Challenging even from the green tees. From the tips, the water definitely comes into play. BUT it is a really great scenic layout. It will play easier the next time, because we will know where NOT to place our shots. Worth the money; especially a hot deal with
some promos thrown -in. Lost three balls in the weeds,trying to stay out of the water. Good day..
