History
Hammock Beach Resort opened in 2000 in Palm Coast, Florida, anchored by the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course (originally the Ocean Hammock Golf Course), which debuted that winter as the first oceanfront golf course built in Florida in more than 70 years - earning it the nickname 'the Pebble Beach of the East Coast.'
The land was originally developed by ITT roughly 55 years ago as a retirement community; Lowe Properties was the original resort developer, followed by Centex Destination Properties and then the Ginn Company, which bought the property in late 2006. It is now managed by Troon and Salamander and includes a second course by Tom Watson at 200 Ocean Crest Drive.
The setting
At 200 Ocean Crest Drive in Palm Coast, on the Atlantic, beside Jack Nicklaus's Ocean Course.
