Keith,
Sapelo Hammock is an interesting place. I didnt actually play it, and here is why. This place sounds more and more like Deans Creek when I explain this. I had heard of Sapelo Hammock and started driving back roads as directed by my golf map on my laptop. By the time I found the place finally it was getting late in the day, but not so late that I thought I wouldnt be able to get out to play the course, there was still plenty of daylight.
When I got there the clubhouse was locked up and dark, and there wasnt a person to be found around the cart barn, or maintaince people or anything. There were a few cars in the parking lot, but other than that it was deserted. I wandered out onto a couple holes to look around and contemplated just grabbing my clubs and heading out.
Then a cart with some golfers came rolling off of the 18th hole. I asked them about where everyone was they said they thought the pro might be out playing. So when they left their cart by the building and left I jumped in it and just headed out to see the course. About the 13th hole I saw a solitary guy hitting some shots out of the bunker. I stoped to talk and found out it was the pro. He was a nice guy and said it was a slow night so he went out to play.
Back to the course. There were some great looking holes, and the course is on a wonderful piece of property along the lowcountry tidal marshes etc, back in the middle of nowhere. There are some nice homes but not many, as I said the development obviously never took off like they expected. The course was not maintained very well at that time (you could tell the fairways and tees hadnt been cut as often as they should have, and the grass was growing into the bunkers in places), but I still think it is worth the trip. If you dont know exactly where it is let me know I can probably look it up on my golf map again and see where it is. I want to go back someday and actually play it. Someone told me it is in a little better shape now.
