AMELIA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Fernandina Beach, FL, USA
Designed by Tom Fazio



Amelia National Golf Club occupies a coastal setting on Amelia Island near Fernandina Beach in northeast Florida. Tom Fazio designed the course, which opened in the mid-2000s as part of a private residential community. The property takes advantage of the island's natural marshland and tidal creek systems, with several holes routed along or across these wetland features. The layout incorporates the region's characteristic live oaks draped with Spanish moss, creating a distinctly Lowcountry atmosphere despite the Florida location.
Fazio's design emphasizes strategic options and visual variety, with generous fairway corridors balanced by well-defined hazard zones. The routing moves through different landscape zones—some holes play through wooded corridors, while others open to marsh vistas and water views. Elevation changes are modest, typical of barrier island terrain, but Fazio shaped greens complexes and surrounds to create contour and interest. Bunker styling follows his refined aesthetic, with white sand and sculpted edges that frame approach shots.
The club operates as a private facility serving its residential membership. Amelia Island's broader appeal as a resort destination and its proximity to Jacksonville give the course a regional profile, though it maintains a relatively low public presence compared to Florida's better-known tournament venues. The design reflects Fazio's mature style from that era—polished presentation, strategic variety, and integration with sensitive coastal environments.
