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.
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.

Signature Island Green. Birdie made my day! Photo submitted by u291767851 on 01/09/2018
Great condition
Course is in fantastic condition right now. My only complaints are the lack of yardage markers on sprinkler heads and on the par three tee boxes. Course was cart path only today but seemed unnecessary so that was a bit of an annoyance.
Hi, Ppurko1655. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at The Amelia River Club!
Good Day
Everything was great except the ball cleaners - no water, and this has happened several weeks in a row. Maybe it's just Tuesdays, not sure, but they need to remove the one inch of filthy water and put in about a quart of fresh water everyday.
Hello, nbkdc68. Thank you for visiting us at The Amelia River Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Nice Greens
Love the course and especially the greens. Had a slow group or two in front of us on Labor Day weekend but it seemed to get sorted out with the ranger on the back nine and no more back ups. A little pricey without a discount.

Great course
They have reinvested in the golf course and it is really showing. Golf course in good shape, new carts . Greens a little slow but not bumpy. Well worth the price.

Good but not great
Course is in good shape, greens are rolling well. Still room for improvement compared to the courses potential. The greens use to be super fast, let’s see that again

Course was nice. But the 4 some in front of me would allow me to pay through as a single player.

Great Course, need marshals
Is my favorite course on Amelia Island but today they clearly needed marshals on the course. The back line was totally ruined by a a foursome that couldn’t play golf and definitely couldn’t play fast
