“When my host invited me to play Hamilton Farm I said "yes", expecting to play the Highlands par-72 course. When I arrived, however, it turned out that we were playing the Hickory par-3 course, and I was disappointed until we teed off on #1, a 206 yard downhill par 3. Wow was I suprised! This is easily the best par-3 course I've ever played. Hickory required most of my clubs, including a 5H to an uphill, into-the-wind 218 yard hole, and then Wedge to a downhill 134 yard hole. All holes featured challenging bunkers, undulating greens, and water, making each tee shot a thoughtful exercise. The course is set on a huge property with rolling hills, significant elevation change (especially for a Florida golfer), and original-looking features like barns. The staff, grounds crew, restaurant team and pro shop are outstanding."

“"If there is a better par 3 course in America, I'd like to know where it is" is a quote from architect Dana Fry and I think he is probably not far from the truth. The Hickory at Hamilton Farm is a fantastic compliment course to the Championship Highlands Course, with 18 very strong par threes. This is not your typical pitch and putt and you will likely hit every iron in your bag and even possibly some woods on some of the longer holes. Excellent practice and so much fun!"

“An elite test of golf wrapped in a small package. This par 3 course is nearly unrivaled, and it offers a wide variety of full length tests. If I had to make a critique, it would be that several early holes play to a similar distance, and there are several long drives between holes. After completing an extensive bunker renovation in early 2022, the Hickory course at Hamilton Farm is enjoyable and challenging test for any level player."

“Always fun - probably the best par-3 course in the country with 18 holes. You'll use almost every club in the bag out there!"
