Played in the GolfNow event here on Thursday the 3rd.
Huge turnout, so the pace of play really doesn't reflect conditions on a normal day. I have found the pace acceptable every other time I've played here.
Tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens are in above average shape.
Greens somewhat suffering with the ever-present 'un-repaired pitchmark disease'. Other than that, they putted fast and true.
Clubhouse staff and amenities are good.
Beverage cart made it around numerous times. Plenty of water coolers on the course.

Played course for first time on Saturday July 18th. Overall a good course for the money.
Played the white tees which were a bit short but still a challenge. Will play from the blues next time.
Fairways were solid and in a very good condition. Greens were not great but not bad either.
A lot of ball marks on the greens (both repaired marks and not repaired, help out and fix the marks you see)!
Was very surprised with how true the greens rolled and they were quick as well.
Will play this course many more times in the future!

Course was in good shape. Greens were rolling FAST, big time. Def good course for the money.
They are putting some money back into the experience through GPS yardage markers in the carts and a tracking system,
 that will tell you when you are off the course or in a restricted area.
 NOTE: If you are in a restricted area, the cart will not go forward and you must back out of the area you are in.
Def good course for the money and the specials this club offers weekly.

Played here on 7/12. The course was in good shape.
Greens were rolling fast as the day progressed. Saw the cart girl at least 3 times during our round.
 The only issue that I continue to have with this course is the ball marks on the greens. I don't know why folks want take a minute to fix them.
 Over all I enjoyed the course and our round. Hard to beat for $45 on the weekend.

Played on a coupon Sunday morning for $45. The course is in excellent shape and on par with Reunion as far as overall conditioning.
Greens rolled pretty true and fast and considering all the heat we have had....they were in great shape.
 I sure wish folks would fix their ball marks however.

Played for the first time 7/3.
Have always steered away from Hampton because friends played it when first opened and they commented about trick holes and many blind shots.
 Either the course changed or they are nuts. Course has a fine layout and except for a couple of tough spots on the greens and fringe, excellent condition.
Will play it again in a heartbeat.
They need to put some water barrels on the course and the drink cart only worked the back nine.
Need to change those two minor inconveniences.

The course was in great shape and the pace of play was very good.
The best was the value though. It is a little bit of a drive but for $38.00 it was well worth it.
 I have spent double that on some courses that weren't near as nice as this one.

This course is a great value . It is easy to get to and the scenery is beautiful.
 The course was in good shape overall. Some greens had some issues, but nothing major.
Would have liked to see the cart girl earlier as it was very hot outside and she didn't start until 10am.
We had an early tee time(8am) so bring water if you tee off early.
The GPS is great but the governor is really annoying. On one hole I was barely in the rough and it made me drive in reverse to back into the fairway.
I like the course layout and you can't beat the value.

Played 6/28. Tee boxes and fairways are in good shape and the bunkers are pretty good as well.
The greens are in need of some work as most have serious problems around the fringe and are thin and sandy.
They are very soft and will hold a shot but do not putt consistently.
All the water barrels are gone so you now only have the fountains at the two on-course restroom shacks.
We saw the beverage cart twice which is awful for a high 90's day.
Relatively slow play and no marshal to speed things along made it a little tough.
They have installed a simple GPS system under the dash in the carts which is really great.
However they have also installed a new governor system with it that seriously limits cart speed in some areas.
 Very safe but also annoying.

Played as a threesome on Sat early morning 6/13/09.
We got off right on time and the pace was wonderful except for a short wait on a couple of holes.
The course was in very good condition and given the rain over the past few days the greens were receptive and surprisingly fast.
They putted very well and were very similar to the putting green.
The fairways and tee boxes are fairly lush and you rarely found your ball with a less than desirable lie when you were on or just off the fairway.
 The cart girl seemed to be there when we were ready but we found very few watering stations along the way.
 Given the layout and the current conditions it seems to be a pretty good value. I will definitely go back.
