Hampton Cove History

In 1992, the development of Hampton Cove commenced on what was primarily farmland and county roads. The community was meticulously planned around the construction of a Robert Trent Jones golf facility and the creation of multiple lakes, with its members-only recreation center boasting the largest pool in the state at the time. As the first families settled in, the construction of a Publix shopping center and other commercial developments quickly followed.

In 1996, Hampton Cove Elementary School welcomed its inaugural class of students, and the community later welcomed Hampton Cove Middle School in 2003. As the years went on, more neighborhoods were developed, with the last of the 20 original planned neighborhoods still growing to this day.

One of the most recognizable landmarks on the RTJ Trail is visible from Hampton Cove Way - the old mule barn up by the green on the fifth hole of the Highlands Course. This barn serves as a reminder of the area's rural history, adding to the overall charm of the golf course.
