About The Amelia River Club
The Amelia River Club, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Fernandina Beach, Florida, offers a challenging yet rewarding golf experience designed by renowned architect Tom Jackson. Opened in 2000, this 18-hole championship course is celebrated for its pristine conditions, strategic layout, and stunning natural beauty, characteristic of the Amelia Island area. It’s a public course that provides a private club feel, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Jackson's design philosophy at Amelia River Club masterfully integrates the natural wetlands and maritime forests, creating a course that demands precision and thoughtful shot-making. The layout features generous landing areas but punishes errant shots, with water coming into play on 17 of the 18 holes. The course is known for its immaculately maintained TifEagle greens, which are fast and true, providing a consistent putting surface that can challenge even the most skilled golfers.
Playing at Amelia River Club is an immersive experience where the tranquility of nature meets the excitement of golf. The course winds through a diverse ecosystem, offering glimpses of local wildlife and serene marsh views. It's a true test of golf that balances playability with strategic complexity, ensuring that every round is both enjoyable and memorable for golfers of all skill levels.
