Taking advantage of Georgia's scenic coastal landscape, Sapelo Hammock Golf Club offers a golf course that's both challenging and serene. The golf course, which opened in 2011 and was designed by Rusty Simmons, is rated more than 4 1/2 stars on GolfPass, and has also been rated as one of the top courses in Georgia by GolfPass readers. The layout weaves its way through marshes and live oak trees, covered in Spanish moss, providing plenty of obstacles along the way. At nearly 6,900 yards from the back tees, the course is a good test, even for long hitters, but four more sets of tees, starting at just 4,753 yards, make it playable by all. The golf course at Sapelo Hammock has a strong collection of par 5s. The no. 1 handicap hole is the 542-yard ninth. Though it's not particularly long -- and it is the longest hole on the course -- there's plenty of trouble with wetlands coming into play off the tee and on the approach, where the fairway tends to tighten up against the backdrop of trees on the left of this dogleg right. The course ends with a 500-yard par 5, a good risk-reward hole that. Brings in a creek that must be carried by anyone looking to go for this green in two. In addition to the course, Sapelo Hammock Golf Club has excellent practice facilities that include a driving range, short-game area and practice putting green. Lessons are available from the professional staff. And inside the clubhouse is a well-stocked golf shop and restaurant that's open every day. This semi-private club also offers limited onside accommodations for anyone looking to book a stay-and-play package.
