Much Improved

The course received a lot of water when we had a lot of rain. Once that stopped the fairways are nice and so are the greens. The par 5 7th is now great and a long good drive no longer gets punished

They should do it with the 5th as well

The teeing gourds in a few holes need to be improved though it is far better than before

Overall a great value for money and challenging holes to make it a nice experience

Scope for improvement

The course has an up north feel with wooden bridges connecting holes. It is built on a swamp with a lot of care for the environment which I appreciate. However the tee boxes need work as it difficult to find a flat area. The greens need to be sped up they’re extremely slow and for golfers used to fast greens this is a problem.

The holes are challenging and varied and presents a good challenge.
Be sure to have enough balls as it is quite easy to lose them if you are not accurate

The other Vargo golf courses of Hampton and Bruce Hills have much nicer greens

Nice greens and accuracy

Have played the course multiple times

Recently they have redone the greens and it is a huge measure to play faster and smooth greens

I would recommend that you play this course before playing a bigger course as accuracy is needed off the tee

Nice variety of holes - very playable

Nice playable course. Good elevation changes on the par. 5s. Drivable par 4 10th hole is also a nice change
Th par 3 4th is a challenging 196 yards and is a total contrast with the short par 3 13th

Definitely will return to play it again

Nice roomy clubhouse to have a cold one after the round

Great course should allow flexibility when it rains

The greens were quite fast even after the heavy downpour
While I have loved the challenge of the course the problem of playing in the rain remain. They expect you to go out and play but don’t provide the protection from the rain.
Thankfully the rain strapped after a few holes

Super Lynx layout

Wonderful Lynx layout. Loved the par 5s - particularly the 8th, 11th and 17th..The par 3s are delightful as well.
No trees so put on plenty of sunscreen. The back black tees are really challenging on a number of holes.
Stay in the fairway as the long Heather is really punishing.
Having seen the amateur at Bandon Dunes really wanted lay a similar looking course. This was ideal as it used as a course for an amateur qualifier.
Friendly staff and reasonable pace of play.
Would recommend this course.

Great Course wonderful views

Wonderful layouts. Have played here multiple times.
Pace of play was really bad though with leagues and inexperienced golfers slowing us on the back nine.

Hope this is a one off as I have been happy with all aspects before

Nice Layout

Good mix of elevation changes. Love the Par 3s where this can be seen.
Par 5s are reachable in 2 for long hitters and in regulation for most players.
The Lake provides beautiful views and also keeps it cool on hot days.
The rough is not bad and if you don’t have tree trouble you can still try and reach the green.
The staff is friendly and helpful. Pace of play is reasonable

A tale of 2 different nines - Challenging but fair course

I’ve played here a number of times and each time I have enjoyed the course layout the well-kept fairways and fast greens. The front nine has challenging par 4s in the 1st and 7th. Better hit it long and straight. The challenging par 3s - 4th, 12th and 16th can be a great from the back tees are uniquely different.

The front nine Is more traditional layout. The back nine has challenging raised greens with a more tournament like feel.

The par 5s - 3rd, 13th and 15th each offer a different challenge with undulating fairways and blind shots.
Am looking forward to playing again next week.

Challenging Course - 2 different Nines

Have played this course a number of times. Enjoy playing it every time.
The 1st and 7th are the.toughest. Better hit it straight and long.

The 3 par 5s - 3rd, 13th and 15th are beautifully designed and play tough from the back tees but are gettable from the white tees.

The 4par 3s 2nd, 4th, 12th and 16th are uniquely different and challenging.

The back 9 has number of raised greens that give tournament feel to it. All green said play fast and it I see always better to Ben below the hole the number above it.

Lots of undulations give and we’ll kept fairway makes it a good test of your game.

Great Course

Great Course. Combination of challenging holes and wide fairways. Wonderful 2nd shot course. The wide fairways gives you an opportunity to hit the green in two. The rough is not punishing.
Love the elevation changes in the par 3s. Particularly 5th, 13th. The par 5s are quite challenging particularly the 17th.
Have walked as well as used a golf cart. It is a good workout.
Staff are very responsive and friendly

Fantastic Vistas and Great Course

The golf course has a combination of holes that have water hazards on the front nine with great views and elevation drops. Most of it was down hill on the front nine. However the.back nine is quite a walk as it is combination of uphill and downhill holes.
The 11th my favorite par 5 where you tee off from one hill top to a fairway on another hill top. The next shot is downhill to a hole over 70 feet below.
Loved the names of the holes. Everyone of them live up to their name.
Got a great work out.
Looking forward to playing there again.
Course is in great condition.

Ideal course to improve iron game

Have played Hampton many times and enjoyed it every time
It is a short course that rewards accuracy’ and one can play it within 2 hours.
Love the back to back par 3s - 5th and 6th hole.
Also love the tee shot from the back tee on the 8th hole as it challenges you to avoid water on the right and houses and trees on the left.
The course needs attention particularly the greens and I saw them watering it to save it on these 90 plus degree days.

Beautiful course - 2 different nines

A great course with 2 different layouts. Front nine is more traditional back nine will challenge your short game skills.
Reminds me of tough PGA tour venues with raised greens with small landing areas Andy run offs.
The property is large gives you generous driving fairways but punishes wayward ones with deep rough.

Good value

The course is quite narrow as it is laid out on a marsh. It is a beautiful location.

The tres need some work as they are uneven.

Very nice up north feel

Well maintained

The course is very beautiful. There are few flat lies and you are most of the time playing to greens with false fronts which gives it a championship feel. Really liked the par fives. The 18th is a truly beautiful finishing hole with challenging side hill lies on the fairway and wonderful sight lines for the 1st and 2nd shots. Can't wait to get back.

Good test

The course has a good combination of easy and tough holes. I love playing the course. The free lined fairways make good drives very important. Length is not as important as accuracy.

There are a number of holes that require attention on the back nine and I think they are in the process of reseeding holes 14 to 17.
