Ocean Forest Golf Club
Course Type: Private
Design Role: New Design 1995
Co-Designer(s): Greg Muirhead
Client Course Description
This links-style course offers many spectacular views. The terrain on the front nine is basically flat and the fairways are lined by trees, but the back nine opens to the ocean, which comes into play on the final three finishing holes. The wind is always a major factor.
Designer Notes
Ocean Forest is built on true links land, with holes paralleling the Hampton River and finishing on the Atlantic Ocean. Natural sand dunes and vast expanses of saltwater marsh and freshwater wetlands, provide unrivaled aesthetic appeal and challenges to every shot in golf.
