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.

Signature Island Green. Birdie made my day! Photo submitted by u291767851 on 01/09/2018
High end ,Scenic course.
Amelia River is a fantastic barrier island golf course interesting layout that is fun to play. Course conditions where very good, for rack rate of $150 they are not up to that level of 5☆. Each hole is different and interesting. Greens ran consistent but had aeration lines that where distracting. Staff was friendly and grille looked adequate except it closed @ 4:30, so it was closed when we finished our round. I recommend playing this course .
Best greens in the area
The course was in unbelievable condition for this time of year. The tee boxes were better than most greens on other local courses. The only negative I could think of is the distances shown on the cart gps display was off. Wonderful day of golf!!
Amelia River Club winter
Played in late February. Course in very good shape for winter. Greens roll very true, maybe a little slow. I should gave spent a few extra minutes on practice green as I never really got a good feel for speed. Played with a local member who gave good advice. Even though not playing well, it was a fun round, and I would recommend.
Wonderful course
Course is always in great condition, staff is friendly, and the pace of play is consistently a good speed. 10/10 absolutely love Amelia River

Nice course, great views
New pro shop and renovations adds to the experience. Course is in nice shape. Greens were a little slow but true and fair. Possibly due to very cold temps earlier in week. Definitely plan to play again soon. Pace of play was good

Great Course
This golf course is fun, there aren’t very many surprises and is a what you see is what you get kind of course. I would say it’s a bit pricey for the track and would try to get a discounted rate on the GOLFNOW app if you can.
Great Golf on the Island
This has been my go to course for every visit to Amelia Island. Great course and staff making it a great experience. Oh, an island 17th green for the TPC finishing touch. A must play for any golfer visiting the Island.
