The Golf Club at South Hampton was designed to give every golfer appropriate risk-and-reward opportunities that supply both encouragement to beginners and challenges for more advanced players. The slope and contour of the course’s landscape is its trademark with strategic mounding and over 60 contoured bunkers that emphasize the terrain’s natural undulations. The course features rolling fairways and massive greens. There are also sixteen large lakes that come into play throughout. The signature hole is the tremendous par-5, 17th, which is a scenic hole that features a lake, fairway bunkers, and a breaking green. Although the course is a challenge, there are six sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels.

I don't get the hype

Not sure I get the hype. Slow play, only got in 13 holes over 3.5 hours, painted green greens with a lot of sand and bare spots. Fairways were ok, but anything just off was a crapshoot as far as grass. No course markers, outside of the 150 and no tech in the carts. No hole maps / signs on the course, etc. Julington Creek and Cimmaron always get and deserve a bad wrap, but I'm not sure this was any better. $50 to play @ 2pm I guess makes it better (I guess?), but I don't think I'll go back.

PS: sounds like you have not played Cimarrone in a while. It is under new ownership and the difference is like night and day. You won’t be moving your ball on the greens over there to avoid bad spots. Give it another try.

BINGO! My observations over the past two years exactly!! Overpriced and underwhelming.

The two owners just don’t seem to care ..

I am told that daddy bought the course for them. I am told they spend their time in Ponte Vedra drinking FuFu drinks at one of the courses. The driving range and the practice putting green behind the clubhouse are cow pastures. The rest of the course is not much better. It is a true shame because it is a Mark McCumber design and used to be in really good condition all the time. Play Cimarrone across the highway for a much better value and experience.

Great course, even better service and friendliness

Fun agreeable layout. Diverse set of golf holes that are generous off the tee with very fast and firm large greens. The course drains really well since it was much drier than other courses in the area after lots of rain. All the personal were professional and friendly. They have all the amenities you could want: range, short game area, patio and small pro shop. Would definitely come back anytime!

Ridiculously overpriced!

I would pay no more than $55 to play this course maybe 65 on a weekend at the most. Just not worth it.

Fun playable layout. Weather was supposed to storm so breezed through round in 3 hours.
Course is fairly challenging.

$90 on Monday… for THIS course?

Spend a little more and play STILLWATER just 1 mile further West or pay much less and play CIMARRONE right across the street. Either one of those is a much, much better value for your money. Stillwater is a Bobby Weed design. It is pristine, Cimarrone is a very, very challenging layout in very good condition.

WAY OVER PRICED

This is a $55 course,, AT BEST! There is nothing “EXCELLENT” “about it. The greens have bare spots. And the greenskeeper has no clue as to how to properly replace cups. Very few rakes in the sand traps and half of those are broken. Nobody replaces their divots or fixes their ball marks at this golf course. The driving range is a cow pasture. Spend a little more money and play Stillwater a mile further west on County Road 210 or less and play Cimarrone right across from South Hampton at the stoplight. Much better values for your money!
