A group of us went to Hammock beach in Florida in early 2009. The place was deserted. There was massive over building and the golf course was set out for real estate and as i recall only one home built plus a sumptuous clubhouse that no-one was using. One sign of the real estate bubble.
Here are some pics I took at that time...
What a difference 9 or 10 years makes...

GOLF DIGEST'S "2018 BEST GOLF RESORTS IN FLORIDA"
The breathtaking Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course is back. Every tee box, bunker, fairway, green and rough has been meticulously restored to its former glory.
Placing players on the brink of the Atlantic Ocean, the award-winning Ocean Course is a shining example of oceanfront golf perfection.
This top 100 golf course not only winds along pristine wetlands and sparkling lakes, but also plays six holes directly on the Atlantic Ocean. The course concludes with a thrilling finale dubbed "The Bear Claw" — a collection of four daunting holes precariously edging the sweeping coastline. The Ocean Course received a ranking as one of Florida's Top 5 courses. This course is truly "Florida's Ocean Course".
THE TOM WATSON SIGNATURE DESIGN CONSERVATORY COURSE IS FLORIDA'S LONGEST AND IS TRULY A MASTERPIECE.
This breathtaking course is highlighted by waterfalls, babbling brooks and veneered field stone work. To the 140 sand and coquina bunkers, Watson also added three sod-faced bunkers, a nod to his affinity for British links-style golf. Golf Digest, in its January 2008 issue, ranked The Conservatory third on its elite list of America's Best New Public Course
