The Amelia River Club, located on Amelia Island north of Jacksonville, offers an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout designed by Tom Jackson that plays approximately 6,808 yards from the back tees. Set among live oaks, sabal palms, pines, and wax myrtles, the course balances broad, open fairways—reminiscent of Scottish links—with strategically placed wooded sections that challenge accuracy and course management.
Signature holes keep play engaging from start to finish: the uphill blind tee shot of Hole 6 demands precision amid tricky contours and bunkers, while Hole 14 presents a bold risk-reward with water guarding the direct route to an elevated green. The iconic 17th is a visually striking par-3 over water to an island green, and the closing par-5 finishes beside the Amelia River’s marsh, offering a compelling and scenic conclusion to the round.
