Hammock Creek Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Legacy Design, is a fabulous daily fee layout on the Treasure Coast of Florida. Opened in July of 1996, the Club has hosted several local, state, and national competitions. Featuring five sets of tees from 5,045 to 7,131 yards, the golf course is a favorite for both locals and snowbirds alike. The practice facility offers one acre of celebration turf to satisfy the most ardent game improvement golfers. The centerpiece of the Hammock Creek community though is the clubhouse, which completed an extensive renovation in October of 2020. The restaurant, verandahs, and dining deck offers breakfast and lunch daily, with a variety of daily and weekly specials to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite.

worth going!

I played this during my visit to FL. Perfect weather helped. Lots of water, but most of it is able to be avoided if you can get off the tee with some distance. Greens were great. Fairways were great. This was my first time playing, and even though I used rental clubs, I played pretty well and had plenty of par putts within 5 feet...if only I could make those putts!

Great Pace of Play

Resort style conditions. Very generous landing areas off the tees. Some shorter Par 4s require thoughtful tee shots from the white tees, less so from the blues. 1hr 50 mins on the front; 2 hours on the back with a 1pm tee time on a Saturday afternoon. Great pace of play. Was pleased to be greeted with a sign on the cart that the steering wheel had been wiped with disinfectant! Let's hope we can continue to keep the golf courses open! Come on out and enjoy the fresh air!

The condition of this course is the best it has been in 10 years. Each year they have made improvements and in talking to the staff the next improvements are going to make it even better. Has far as the staff goes from the moment you arrive they treat you like your at your own private club and it starts at the top thanks to Dave Ladd club director

Absolutely average

The course is nice very nice.
The pace of play was pathetically slow due to 2 forward groups hitting two balls each.
It’s a nice course but bad in any way, just absolutely average

Lovely course but slow

Course is in very good condition and nice layout. Staff was friendly and lunch afterward was good. Unfortunately we were paired with two golfers who combined a lack of skill with a lack of speed. It not only made our round very slow but encouraged golfers behind us to come up and yell at us afterward. Some diligence by the ranger, who came around but never said anything, would have been helpful. When the people you are paired with keep talking mulligan’s and lose about 20 balls it’s no fun to be around.

Great course, great staff

So the group I was playing with cancelled. Staff was right on top of it - comped me some range balls and found me a group. Overall experience excellent. Course conditions excellent and the salt-resistant grass is great to play on - and even growing at this time of year. This course is a must play for all.

Enjoyable

Have played HC several times this year as well as many other local courses this one is my favorite .
The course is fair , challenging and actually can’t find anything negative to say about it. The sand and condition of the traps is excellent.
The most outstanding characteristic is the efficient and friendly staff.

Nice layout

Very generous fairways. Bombs away with the driver. Very good conditions. We played after a very heavy overnight rain. No issues other than a little puddling in some waste areas. Carts ran at 90 deg. Very friendly staff.
Will 100% play again

Very Playable Design for All Abilities!

Course design is challenging but fair! Great turf conditions from tees, fairways and greens. Fast but fair putting surfaces. Greens will hold shots from the fairways. Nicest public facility in the area.

Not worth the money

I play 200 rounds a year, first time at this course. Pro shop staff treated me like I was a poor customer because of golfnow. They use golfnow for business but treat you like a NON member. I wont play here again. To many nice courses in the area
