Hamlet Country Club sits on 160 acres of former farmland in Delray Beach, where the original 1920s layout was redesigned in 1984 by architect Joe Lee. The course occupies flat terrain once used for pineapple cultivation, with sandy soil that provides firm fairways and quick drainage after heavy rain. Most greens are elevated two to four feet above surrounding grades, guarded by deep bunkers and collection areas that funnel errant shots away from the putting surfaces. Water enters play on nine holes, primarily as elongated lakes bordering the 3rd, 7th, 12th, and 16th holes, while stands of slash pine and live oak frame many landing zones. The routing alternates between open parkland stretches and tighter corridors lined by residential lots, creating changing wind exposure on successive holes. Irrigation is supplied by on-site wells drawing from the surficial aquifer, and the turf consists of Tifway 419 Bermuda on fairways and TifEagle ultradwarf on greens.
