About
The Amelia River Club is located on Amelia Island, just north of Jacksonville and within minutes of the historic town of Fernandina Beach. Renowned as one of the best-conditioned courses in the area with incredibly smooth greens, sculpted around a forest of majestic Live Oaks, Sable Palms, Pines and Wax Myrtles.
This par 72 track, designed by Tom Jackson, plays to a yardage of 6,823 from the back tees. It's pristine condition features well manicured rolling fairways, smooth bunkers and greens that challenge all skill levels. This course is unique in character and is a treat to play.
The Amelia River consists of 18 holes of challenging golf where ball control and accuracy are keys to a great game. The fairways are wide and open, giving the golfer a sense of a traditional Scottish links course on some holes and a narrow tree lined experience on others. The 13th hole is a good example of the course’s challenges. This long par five runs along the border of the Fernandina Beach Airport and is a strategic three shot hole. Too long and left at lay up and you will have to deal with a water hazard. The wind can play havoc with this hole as it reminds one of an open links style design. In contrast #9 is a tree lined par four with very little room for error and includes a forced carry over Alligator Creek.
The signature 17th hole is a par three surrounded by water demanding an accurate shot to the island green which closely resembles another very famous golf hole in our area! The final hole ends at the edge of the Amelia River and its expansive tidal marsh.

Incredible golf course
While visiting the area with my wife, I decided to play a round at Amelia River Club. I must admit that I was a little anxious upon arrival at the club because I didn’t see anyone that looked like me. But the staff was very friendly, and the gentleman who checked me in me, gave me some tips on how to play certain holes. Once I felt at ease on the back nine, I started to play much better. The entire course and the landscape was in amazing shape. Will definitely play there again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your experience at Amelia River Club. We appreciate your feedback; we are glad to hear that our staff was friendly and helpful and that you enjoyed the course and its landscape. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round in the future.

Beautiful Alligator Creek
From the moment I stepped out of my car. I was met with kindness. The starter made sure I had the course layout and knowledge about several holes. I ordered lunch and it was ballpark level.
The greens, fairways were in excellent condition. It was well worth the price.
