The Amelia River Club

This course is really good value for the money if you go thru GolfNow. If you pay thru the club then it becomes just a fair value for the money. I have played it a couple times a year for many years. The current ownership keeps it in great condition. The greens roll beautifully when dry and fast, the way I like it. Highly recommend. The layout is nice. Enjoyable challenge and I think the best course the public can play in the area.

I’ve said this before and it bears repeating. Too many golfers, when playing the Par 5 18th, leave their carts in the fairway then proceed to the green to putt out. This is ridiculous, since the golfers behind the have to wait to hit their 2nd shot. Most golfers simply drive to the back of the green to finish the hole. Last week it happened again and I hit my 2nd shot while their carts were in the fairway, 60 yards from the green. I caught it well and it stopped short of their carts. I waited for them and they asked if it was my ball, then they asked why I didn’t wait for them to be done. These were obviously self entitled golfers. Wanting the group behind them to wait on our 2nd shots while they putt out, shake hands, slap backs, etc. idiots.

If the course can display the clubhouse menu on the 8th hole, then they can display a message to NOT PARK THE CARTS IN THE FAIRWAY ON 18. Simple as that.

Course is in great condition with wide fairways. Greens are fast. Not much water and course is forgiving.

Fun course but over 5 hr round. Need to do a better job keeping everyone on pace.

My wife and I played, and we had a great time. All Staff members were very friendly. All the facilities were clean, and the food was very good. The course was in real good conditions considering the drought N. Florida is going through. Overall I would highly recommend this course.

Great course. Greens had been punched a few weeks earlier but seem to roll true. Great time.

Great day. Greens and fairways had been aerated, and healed perfectly. Greens smooth and receptive, once I noted that chips were not going to run out. Keith in pro shop very welcoming. I hope to return soon. Good challenging layout from Blue-Black tees.

With the exception of waiting and being pushed by the group behind us. The course itself was wow! Greens were perfect! Course was in amazing shape! With everything close by being in not great shape, this really impressed me.

My 13 year old son and I played here for the first time this year. We come as a family every year in June for my wife’s pediatric conference here in Amelia Island. We decided to try this course out after hearing great reviews about it. Well we almost didn’t play it due to the aerification alert on GolfNow app. I’m so glad we decided to play anyway. Course was wide open the afternoon we played and the course was excellent considering they had just aerated the course a week or so prior. We will definitely be back next year Lord willing. Thank you to the Amelia River Club for an excellent experience for me and my son!!!
