The Amelia River Club

Amelia Island, FL · 3.3 mi away

Oak Marsh is one of the golf courses at Omni Amelia Island Resort in Fernandina Beach, Florida, built along salt marsh creeks and beneath heritage oaks on the barrier island. It was designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1972, shortly after Dye's Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. The course is known for tight fairways and small greens typical of Dye's early work, and it underwent a $7.4 million renovation led by architect Beau Welling that reopened in 2025, which rebuilt the greens and bunkers while preserving Dye's original strategy. It plays to a par of 72 across 18 holes, measuring 6,471 yards. Oak Marsh is reserved for registered resort guests and golf club members rather than the general public, with tee times arranged through the resort's golf shop.

Fernandina Beach, FL · 5.4 mi away

The Golf Club at North Hampton is an 18-hole course in Fernandina Beach, Florida, near Amelia Island. It was designed by Arnold Palmer, working with longtime collaborator Ed Seay, and is built through coastal dunes and wooded terrain typical of the area. The layout crosses more than 40 feet of elevation change and includes about ten spring-fed lakes lined with coquina boulders, along with native grasses framing the fairways. Greens are large and undulating, and several holes bring water into play off the tee or on approach shots. The course plays over 7,100 yards from the back tees, with multiple forward tee options for different skill levels. It operates as part of a golf and residential community and is open for public play, with a clubhouse, dining, and event facilities on site.

Jacksonville Beach, FL · 22 mi away

Owned by the City of Jacksonville Beach, this municipal course underwent an extensive renovation in 2018 led by architect Harrison Minchew. The redesign introduced salt-resistant Platinum Paspalum turf on the greens and reconfigured the finishing holes to enhance playability. The course has a long history, originally opening as a private 9-hole facility over 50 years ago. Jax Beach is the quintessential municipal success story, offering a 'beach golf' vibe that is both relaxed and surprisingly refined. Since the renovation, the conditions have improved dramatically, making it a must-play for locals and visitors who want to enjoy the sea breeze without the resort price tag. The finishing stretch is particularly memorable and offers a fun challenge for any golfer.
