Ocean Reef Golf Club (Hammock)

Overview: Ocean Reef Club's Hammock Course is an active 18-hole private routing in Key Largo. The club describes it as a target-golf layout threaded through mangrove and tropical hardwood hammocks, with water hazards on 14 holes. Its current course page lists par 71 and 6,100 yards, making the Hammock the more environmentally distinctive of the club's two 18-hole courses.

History: Ocean Reef's golf program began in 1955. Historical course records identify the Harbor Course, the predecessor named in later course histories, as an original Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin design opened in 1974, with greens and tees redesigned by Ted McAnlis in 1992. A later published course history records a 2003 renovation and the change from Harbor to the Hammock name, while the club now operates Hammock as one of its two active courses.

Did You Know? The current club description says water comes into play on 14 of the 18 holes and that the routing includes rare and endangered plant species in a wildlife sanctuary. That makes the course's name a literal description of the tropical hardwood habitat around the fairways, not just a resort branding choice.
