The Golf Club of Amelia Island sits on the northern end of Amelia Island, a barrier island off Florida’s Atlantic coast. The course was designed by Mark McCumber and opened in 1987. It occupies a former coastal plain that has been shaped into gently rolling fairways bordered by live oaks, saw palmetto, and stands of slash pine. Water enters play on several holes, most notably a pair of ponds that guard the landing areas on the par-four seventh and the reachable par-five fourteenth. The greens are planted with TifEagle bermudagrass and are maintained at moderate speed; they tend to slope from back to front and reward approaches played below the hole. Wind off the nearby ocean can affect club selection, especially on the exposed holes that run parallel to the Intracoastal Waterway. The layout also incorporates a small number of waste bunkers filled with crushed coquina shell rather than the more common white sand. Cart paths are paved and kept in good repair, and the overall maintenance standard is consistent with other private clubs on the island.
The Golf Club of Amelia Island currently has (within 1 mile) no homes for sale. The average annual property tax for The Golf Club of Amelia Island is $17,971.
