About Hampton Cove

Hampton Cove is a suburb southeast of Huntsville that grew over about two decades from quiet back roads into a major residential area. It is known for its golf, its nature preserve, and its scenic views of the Tennessee Valley, and it is a relaxed alternative to the busier parts of the city.

Golf

Hampton Cove is the northernmost stop on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. It is a 54-hole complex with two championship courses, the Highlands and the River, plus a par-3 short course. The River Course is notable because it has no bunkers at all.

Trails and Water

The Hays Nature Preserve covers 538 acres with more than ten miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and it holds the Flint River Greenway and most of the Big Cove Creek Greenway. You can also paddle the Flint River, and the area is part of the North Alabama Birding Trail.

Eating

Local options include Buenavista Mexican Cantina, Big Cove Bar-B-Q, Yoshi Sushi Fusion, and a Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe. There is a Publix for groceries, and Hampton Inn & Suites is the main hotel.

Getting Here

Hampton Cove is a drive from downtown, so most people come for an afternoon of golf or hiking, not a night out. It pairs well with a trip to South Huntsville and Ditto Landing.
