"I have yet to see a course - designed by me or by others - with greater natural beauty or one more enjoyable to play," said George W. Cobb, High Hampton Inn Golf Club course architect.

Each of the 18 holes on this mountain course offers a new scenic experience. Lined by towering pines, hemlocks and mountain laurel and surrounded by mountain peaks, all of the tees, fairways and greens are as beautiful as they are challenging.

Designed by the late, eminent golf course architect, George W. Cobb, ASGCA, the course features bent grass greens. It’s a challenging, yet often forgiving, layout that plays a somewhat deceiving 6,012 yards from the back tees. The par 3, 137-yard famed 8th "island” hole - upon which Golf Digest bestowed the title "One of America's Great Golf Holes" – is closely rivaled in beauty by its 17 peers, each is equally beautiful and equally challenging.

In addition to the course, there are two putting greens and an excellent practice range. The tee area of the practice range is covered for protection from occasional rains.

The High Hampton Golf Club is open to guests and residents. For tee times and availability, please contact Chris David at chris@highhamptoninn.com
