For all the golf aficionados out there, this golf resort is your haven, especially with the world-famous Ocean Course designed by Jack Nicklaus. This meticulously maintained course, covering over one hundred acres of Platinum Paspalum turf, is renowned for its eco-friendly and salt-tolerant qualities. It offers a unique challenge, even for seasoned golfers, with stunning ocean views and strategically challenging holes that ensure every round is enjoyable. The expansive ten-thousand-square-foot putting green and chipping green are perfect for honing your skills. Notably, the final four holes, affectionately dubbed “The Bear Claw” by Nicklaus himself, offer a distinct and memorable experience that has earned the course accolades on numerous “best of” lists from esteemed golf publications worldwide.

Apart from the Ocean Course, Hammock Beach also offers the Tom Watson-designed Conservatory Course. Spanning approximately one hundred forty acres, this expansive course is well-known for its impressive changes in elevation and unique challenges. The signature hole, #8, features a stunning island green, while the eighteenth hole offers breathtaking panoramic views from a tee box nearly two hundred feet above ground level. The course’s clubhouse is a remarkable sight, with a domed glass structure housing a nature conservatory, pro shop, and a relaxing cocktail lounge, making it the perfect way to end a day on the greens.

Whether you’re drawn to the Ocean Course’s strategic play or the Conservatory Course’s scenic challenges, Hammock Beach guarantees an unforgettable golfing experience for players of all skill levels. It’s no wonder we’re already looking forward to our next visit to take on these exceptional courses once again.

Sports and wellness are integral to the resort’s experience. The facilities include tennis and pickleball courts overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, a spacious fitness center offering diverse classes from spinning to yoga, and a full-service spa. Indulge in rejuvenating treatments such as the Warm Coconut Stone Massage or the Golfer’s Sage Massage, which is ideal for unwinding after a day on the greens, making it the perfect destination for wellness-focused travelers.

Visiting Hammock Beach wouldn’t be complete without enjoying the sun and relaxing by the water. The resort’s beautiful pools offer the perfect opportunity to bask in the Florida sunshine, whether lounging poolside, strolling along the beach, or enjoying a picturesque sunset from a comfortable lawn chair.

As we reluctantly departed, reflecting on our stay, one thing was clear: we could have easily stayed longer.
