Course Tips
- Ball control and accuracy are keys to a great game. The 6th hole is a good example of the course’s challenges. The landing area off the tee is very wide, however, the uphill fairway requires a blind shot. At the top of this hill, a group of trees on the left calls for a high and long shot to reach the green. To add to the challenge, four bunkers are located along the front and left of the green.
- The first hole at Amelia River 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 of the course contains individual and groups of trees that, while adding beauty, require cautious ball placement.
