Today, as at the inception of The Hamlet Country Club, the golf course is our crown jewel and still widely recognized as one of the finest
in South Florida. A classic Joe Lee design, with elevated, undulating greens, guarded by multiple bunkers, the course, with its many towering
pines, has the feel of its northern counterparts. Mature trees and shrubs line fairways. Because there are no connecting fairways, each hole
is its own private domain, presenting individual challenges and outstanding vistas. The course meanders throughout the community with many
tight fairways and guaranteed trouble for the errant shot. This is a course that can be played daily without ever mastering it or tiring of
it.
