Fun course, disappointing experience

We played here on a family vacation. We called the clubhouse to inquire about a tee time and the person the phone told us to book online because it was cheaper. We booked online through the course's website for $127. When we got to the course, they told us that it was one rate all day. They said that the "best rate available" was by booking as a JW Marriott guest and that rate was $159. The two guys behind the desk didn't really seem to care that we had a confirmation # for $127 from their own website. We were already at the course and the tee time was soon so we went ahead and teed off and figured we would deal with it later. Once we got on the course, there's no halfway house (never mentioned) and the course doesn't seem to wind back to the clubhouse. They told us there would be a beverage cart going around. After 12 holes and no bev cart, a message on the cart GPS screen pops up and says something to the effect of "To get back to the clubhouse, go down the cart path toward 8 and turn down a service path towards 3 green". Now, as a first time guest, I have no way of knowing that that means, especially since we just finished the 12th hole. We called the clubhouse, and after going through a wildly long phone tree to get a hold of the pro shop, we asked about the beverage cart. They said that the were getting the cart fixed and she would be right out. I thought it was weird that they seemingly only had a single Bev cart, but nevertheless, the beverage cart never came by after 3 hours and 35 minutes. The greens were also very recently sanded, another fact that wasn't mentioned. The course was fine, great shape, decent layout, but I just can't get passed the overall experience. Poor communication from the pro shop, a bait and switch pricing policy, and a complete lack of amenities is more than enough to keep me from coming back here.

Really nice course

This and the Rookery are the JW Marriott courses at Marco island. Hammock Bay is a really solid layout. No bad holes, but nothing really super-challenging. It is resort golf, so it looks intimidating at times, but plays easier than appears. Good variety of green complexes. Great condition of greens, fairways, and bunkers. Par 5's provide great birdie opportunities, par 4's are good with some challenging tee shots. Perfect course to relax and enjoy a round of fun golf!

A great course and a fantastic lay-out. Super fairways and fast greens. Challenging with water, bunkers, doglegs etc. Fantastic to play and we’ll play this course more often.

Hammock Bay: "I'll be back"

Hammock Bay is another great gem of a course in the Marco/Naples area. The course is always in super conditions, the staff is friendly and very accommodating to your needs. The facilities are real good and the 19th hole's Steak sandwich, MMM.
Pace of play was good for a Saturday morning, Greens rolled really good, sometimes too good. Just a good course to play more than once a season. I will try to return more often.

Great golf course, fabulous staff!

Hammock Bay was in excellent condition even though there has been a lot of daily, heavy, rain. The staff is both very friendly and helpful. The course itself is very scenic with the back nine even more lovely.

THe highest of quality

I have played here once before many years prior and I can tell you the quality of the all around experience was the highest. The course is 100% and the staff welcoming. I was informed that the greens were plugged and sanded about 2 weeks prior and you never had known. This is simply a great course and I give it the highest of recommendations. Will be going back at first chance.

Lovely course , greens too firm

Although the green were extremely firm, the course was great and challenging. Great combination of elevations, bunker and water, make this course one to use all your tools.

LOVELY COURSE

We really enjoyed the course but were a little put off by the 'sniffy' ness of the people who lived there. Wasn't impressed by no food after 3.30!

perfectly conditioned course

The best conditioned course i have played in SW Florida. Greens were excellent, though they could be a tad faster. Sand traps well maintained. Fairways are carpets and rough is consistent.

Firm, fast greens

My wife and I played on a Thursday morning and were paired with a very enjoyable couple . The fairways were in great shape, well mowed, but not so short that every shot was off a tight lie. Greens are very firm and most shots release after landing - hard to get a shot to check up. They had been top dressed a week or so earlier, but rolled true and fast. Course is challenging, but fun, without too many forced carries for shorter hitters. We'll maintained and pretty course.

Don't Miss Playing This One

The course was in outstanding condition with the fairways being like carpet and the greens fast and true. Lots of sand and water are strategically placed on the course. Great selection of tee box choices for players of all levels. Drink and snack cart came by several times during my round and after the ninth hole, cold moist white wash cloths are available to keep you cool. Cold water with ice and cups are available every few holes.
