Palm Coast is sometimes referred to as the top golfing destination in the southeast United States, no small feat in a state that seems to have a golf course for every resident. Yet Palm Coast, with its close proximity to the World Golf Hall of Fame, the Players Championship, the PGA Tour, and the Champions Tour, manages to accomplish this by offering some of the most scenic golf courses in the country. Take Ocean Hammock Golf Club, which was designed by Jack Nicklaus. It opened recently to much fanfare as the first truly oceanfront Florida course in the last seventy-five years, and indeed, eight of its holes are directly next to the water. Golf is such a part of Palm Coast that most resorts offer golf packages to its visitors.
