As temperatures cool a smidge, and the island’s pace slows, fall emerges as the perfect time to play golf on Amelia Island. With mild weather, fewer crowds, and fairways in great condition, October is when golfers truly get to soak in the island’s natural beauty — from coastal marsh views to fairways shaded by live oaks. Whether you’re perfecting your swing or playing just for fun, Amelia Island offers an unforgettable fall golf escape.
Check out these island courses, and some great “19th Hole” spots to end your round.
A favorite among locals and visitors alike, Amelia River Club is known for its pristine course conditions and scenic layout that winds along the tidal marshes and oak-lined fairways. Each hole feels like a postcard, with challenges for all skill levels and a welcoming, unhurried vibe that defines the island.
Nearby 19th Hole: Celebrate your round with cocktails and coastal bites at Bar Zin, just a short drive away in the Palmetto Walk Shopping Village. The perfect place to unwind by the fire pits on the outside patio.
Fernandina Beach Golf Club offers 27 holes of challenging play across three distinct nine-hole courses. The relaxed atmosphere and value-driven rates make it a great choice for casual players or families looking to enjoy a day outdoors. Consistently ranked as one of the most popular Municipal courses in the southeast.
Nearby 19th Hole: Head to Sliders Seaside Grill for apps, brews, and views. With a gorgeous ocean view, a can’t-miss tiki bar (with swings) and a diverse menu, there’s something for everyone.
Located beside The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, The Golf Club of Amelia Island offers an elevated experience with ocean breezes, immaculate greens, and a layout designed by Mark McCumber and Gene Littler. It’s both scenic and strategic, providing an experience that’s as relaxing as it is rewarding.
Nearby 19th Hole: Step inside The Lobby Bar at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island for sushi, small plates, and handcrafted cocktails. A luxurious end to your day on the greens.
Designed by the legendary Pete Dye, Oak Marsh is a must-play course for anyone visiting Amelia Island. The layout winds through salt marshes, lagoons, and oak canopies, offering both natural beauty and a satisfying challenge. Fall is an especially magical time here, when the course’s wildlife and golden marsh grasses shine.
Nearby 19th Hole: Make your way to Falcon’s Nest, the resort’s aviation-themed pub, where hearty sandwiches and local brews await.
For a more relaxed yet equally memorable round, Little Sandy — the resort’s 10-hole short course — invites golfers of all ages and abilities to play, laugh, and linger. Each hole offers a new view of the coastal landscape, and its playful design makes it perfect for a quick round before sunset or a family-friendly golf experience.
Nearby 19th Hole: Continue the fun at Marché Burette, a charming market-style deli in the Shops at Omni Amelia Island, known for it’s oversized outdoor deck and delicious fare.
