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 6,878 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.

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.

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

Amelia River review
I’ve really liked this course since the first time I played it in March and have coming back ever since. Staff is great and I’ve noticed they have been trying to improve conditions. It’s night and day since March. My only gripe is the pace of play. Slow on Fridays and weekends. I would recommend z

Best course on Amelia Island
Played The Amelia River Club for the first time and couldn’t believe what a great course this is! From start to finish had a great experience. The cart staff greeted me upon my arrival and set me up. The young man was very pleasant and helpful. The pro shop staff, starter, Bev cart and restaurant were very friendly and welcoming! The course itself was very fun. It had a great layout and was a fun challenge. The course conditions were great, by far the best on the island and I couldn’t say more about the greens. Best greens I’ve putted on in Northeast Florida. The course has no homes which is very refreshing and rare for a Florida course. I love their #17 signature Island green, which will remind you of another Island green in North Florida. If you come to Amelia Island, I highly recommend The Amelia River club!!
Hi, 3TYmg3rHg2Kom8H5Rdd6. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Amelia River Club.
Great condition
They have some areas around the greens where they are replacing the grass but other than that the course is in great shape
