With its warm and welcoming clubhouse and exceptional staff, The Hampton Club is the perfect location for the Georgia home Furnishings Association convention tournament

The celebrated character of this award-winning course is the extraordinary beauty that unfolds in harmony with the challenges of one of coastal Georgia's great courses. Designed by renowned architect Joe Lee, the Hampton Club's signature is the group of four spectacular holes gently carved from small coastal marsh islands and accessed by 800-feet of elevated cart bridges. This bold and brilliant design marks the highlight of the back nine, but Lee’s genius extends through the entire 18-hole, Par 72 course as it bends around towering oaks, along large areas of salt marshes, and across lakes and lagoons.  The Hampton Club is located on the quiet northern end of St. Simons Island.
