Golf in Amelia Island

Amelia Island is a barrier island at Florida's northeastern tip in Nassau County, separated from the mainland by the Amelia River and the Intracoastal Waterway. The island supports two courses alongside the Ritz-Carlton resort, the Victorian streetscape of Fernandina Beach, and a stretch of Atlantic beachfront that draws both seasonal visitors and year-round residents. No hole-count data is in public records for Amelia River Golf Course or Little Sandy Short Course. The island's golf market is shaped by the resort economy and the permanent residential population, in a community where golf, beach access, and the maritime character of the Nassau River inlet define the lifestyle. Nassau County's low development density relative to Florida's major coastal corridors gives the island a distinctive and relatively unhurried character even in peak season.
