Amelia River at Amelia River Golf Club

Amelia River Golf Club, set amid the serene low country of Fernandina Beach, is a traditional layout that rewards strategic play. The course, carved through the mature maritime forest so typical of Amelia Island, emphasizes accuracy over sheer power. Expect doglegs that favor the thoughtful shot-maker and greens that demand a deft touch.

Designed by Tom Jackson, Amelia River embraces a classic design philosophy, avoiding the more penal elements of modern architecture. While not a championship venue in the formal sense, the course provides a stern but fair test for golfers of all skill levels, and has become a popular destination for local and visiting golfers.

A gathering spot for a relaxed membership, Amelia River is more than just a round of golf. The nineteenth hole often finds players reliving their successes and near misses. Local lore holds that the secret to a low score at Amelia River lies not just in your swing, but in the post-round camaraderie and the stories shared over a cold drink.
