Ocean Links
Designed by Pete Dye & Bobby
Weed
6,300 yd.
Winding along a coastal Atlantic dune ridge,
Ocean Link's #4, #5, #6, #15 and #16 provide golfers with five
oceanfront golf holes. The fairways and greens are parallel to the
beaches of Amelia Island and meander through a unique coastal
maritime hammock. Named by Golf for Women as one of the "50
Best Courses for Women", this close proximity to the ocean
and the ever changing sea breeze provide the golfer with
exhilarating views and intriguing play. Ocean Links has 10 holes
that feature lagoons and marsh wetlands in addition to concluding
with a par three whose green is strategically placed in the waters
of Red Maple Lake. The course winds through six miles of the
natural sand dunes and seaside terrain that make Amelia Island so
special. It can be said that this is as much a nature tour as it
is a round of golf.

Oak Marsh
Designed by Pete Dye & Bobby
Weed
6,500 yd.
The Oak Marsh Golf Course is one of
the truly classic Pete Dye designed golf courses in the world. The
course, built in 1972 shortly after the completion of the Harbour
Town Golf Links at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is noted
for its tight fairways and small greens, meandering along
serpentine salt marsh creeks and through the moss draped heritage
oaks that Amelia Island is famous for. At par 72, this 6,500 yard
course has fourteen holes with water hazards and numerous
bulkheaded greens. A variety of bunkers are placed throughout the
course to add to the challenge and a natural approach has been
maintained as well with the use of coquina shell cart paths,
native plant life and preserved habitats for the local wildlife.
Walking is allowed after 4:00 pm.

Long Point
Designed by Tom Fazio
6,775 yd.
Completed in 1987, Fazio's award
winning design challenges golfers with natural hazards, tight
fairways and elevated greens. The rolling fairways wind through
three spectacular and distinctive settings: the magnificent
marshes, the thick oak and pine forest and the scenic oceanfront
dunes. Long Point's character is shaped by natural waste bunkers,
large undulating greens and our very distinctive back to back
oceanfront Par 3's. In addition, the golf course demands that the
golfers' shot carry the water hazard on eight different occasions.
Many of these holes leave the casual observer with breathtaking
views of the Amelia River and expansive salt marshes.

Royal Amelia
6,823 yd.
Royal Amelia is renowned as one of
the best-conditioned courses in the area with incredibly smooth
TifEagle greens, sculpted around a forest of majestic live oaks,
sabal palms, pines and wax myrtles. This par 72 track, designed by
Tom Jackson, which plays to a yardage of 6,823 from the back tees,
is always in pristine shape with well-manicured rolling fairways,
smooth bunkers and greens that challenge all skill levels. This
course is unique in character and is a treat to play. Royal Amelia
consists of 18-holes of challenging golf where ball control and
accuracy are keys to a great game. The first hole at Royal Amelia
is located along the border of the Fernandina Beach Municipal
Airport, as are #5 and #13. These fairways are wide and open
giving the golfer a sense of a traditional Scottish links course.
Enjoy these holes while you can because the rest contain
individual and groups of trees that, while adding beauty to the
course, require cautious ball placement.
