Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to get a tee time at the Hammock Course, and what should I expect to pay?

Access to the Hammock Course is primarily for Ocean Reef Club members and their guests, or resort guests staying on property. If you're not a member, staying at the resort is your best bet for a tee time, and green fees typically range from $250-350, depending on the season. It's an exclusive experience, so plan accordingly.

What's the Hammock Course's signature challenge, and is it suitable for all skill levels?

The Hammock Course truly shines with its tight, tree-lined fairways and strategically placed water hazards that demand precision over power. While it's a fair test for all, higher handicappers might find the narrow landing areas frustrating, so bring your A-game and focus on accuracy. It's definitely a thinking golfer's course, not a bomber's paradise.

When is the best time of year to play the Hammock Course to avoid crowds and get ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late fall or early spring - think November or April - to experience the Hammock Course at its absolute best. The weather is fantastic, humidity is lower, and you'll avoid the peak winter crowds and summer heat, ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable round. You'll find the course in pristine condition during these shoulder seasons.

What unique scenery or wildlife can I expect to see while playing the Hammock Course?

Beyond the perfectly manicured greens, the Hammock Course is a true Florida Keys experience, winding through lush tropical foliage and natural hammocks. Keep an eye out for local birdlife, iguanas sunning themselves, and even the occasional crocodile or alligator near the water hazards - it's a vibrant ecosystem you're playing through. The natural beauty is a huge part of the appeal here.

What's the post-round experience like at the Hammock Course, and what amenities should I take advantage of?

After your round, definitely unwind at the club's casual grill, which offers fantastic views and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for recounting your birdies and bogeys. The practice facilities, including a solid driving range and chipping area, are also top-notch if you want to fine-tune your game before or after your tee time. It's all part of the exclusive Ocean Reef experience.
