Six holes play directly alongside the Atlantic Ocean and eight have ocean views. The closing four holes are collectively known as the Bear Claw, a documented nickname used by the resort.
The course combines coastal holes with wetlands and lakes inland. Hammock Beach operates a dedicated Ocean Course pro shop and the Hammock House restaurant beside the ninth green, while resort golf facilities also include practice areas. The Ocean Course is one of two principal courses at Hammock Beach, the other being Tom Watson's Conservatory Course, and the two should be maintained as separate layouts in directory data.
