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.

Sunday afternoon

Great course and layout. Course conditions good, greens a little sow. Tried getting food at turn (couple of BLTs). Called order in after 7th hole and still had to wait 10 minutes when we made the turn, no personality from bar staff. Very slow service, complaints from the guys at the bar about slow service. Only complaint I had.

Great value and very nice course.

Second time playing this course and will definitely play again. Staff could not be any more friendly and inviting. Very nice layout with some blind shots. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape.

Excellent Public Course

Fairways and greens lush. Interesting terrain. Some forced carries. Traps have good sand. Huge greens, moderate speed. Have to hit putts firm to get all the way to the hole. Excellent value for a better than average public course. Worth replaying.

Hot Deals not appreciated

I do not appreciate being treated as a second class customer because I booked a hot deal with Golf Now
That was embarrassing for my guests from Germany
The course generally looks in need of better care far worse condition than we have experienced a couple of years ago
We will never return

We are sorry that this is the impression you were left with. There must have been some miscommunication on our part for you to feel this way. We try to be equally as friendly with everyone that sets foot on our property, regardless of where they booked their reservation. We would certainly like to know more so we can address the issue on our end.

5 Years Ago

Last played here 5 years ago. Prior to that, played this course for 10+ years. It is now, no where near the prior conditions. While I realize Dorian may have put them behind in course management, the rough needed mowing, cut grass in the fairways was piled high. Also looked like their mowers need adjustment. Not a level cut. Some sandtraps were hard packed while others were ok. This use to be one of the finest maintained courses around. Would only rate it as average now.

Cartpaths & Course condition

No paved or cemented pathways - dirt, rough, bumpy horrible cartpaths.
Fairways were mowed but not swept or mowings blown.
Teeboxes and greens in poor condition.
First & last time we would ever play this Course.
The two men in the Pro Shop were not friendly!

The design of the course is that of a classic links, and our cart paths are made of coquina shell to go along with the aesthetics of that. Concrete paths would not fit in with the style of the course. Also, when a tee time is booked for 12:50pm and you show up to play at 11:00am, there is an additional fee to play. The staff explained that and you were not satisfied with the explanation. This 1 star rating is nothing more than a retaliation for us holding to our and GolfNow's policy regarding Hot Deals.

Tough place to play

This is one of the best places to play in Jacksonville area. It's in Yule, about a 40 minute ride from downtown Jacksonville. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in magnificent condition. Greens are not as fast as they usually are, but I think it's that way at most courses.
Course layout is challenging., par fives give you a lot to think about.
Par threes shot is difficult to stick on the greens. You will probably be best served to play it twice, to get the best round, which may not help some. Staff is friendly and accommodating, which is a improvement from years past. Play it it's worth it
