Amelia Island Golf - Oceanfront condo packages

Golfing is one of Amelia Island's most popular activities. Amelia Island has long been recognized as a golfer's haven, and this has been due to the mild climate and the bonanza of golf holes (135) on this 18.2 square mile Island. In addition to beautifully manicured greens and fairways, Amelia Island offers several ways for golfers to improve their skills.

The Amelia Island Plantation
Ocean Links
Winding along a coastal Atlantic dune ridge, Ocean Link #4, #5, #6, #15 and #16 provide golfers with five oceanfront golf holes. The fairways and greens are parallel to the beach 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.

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 for which Amelia Island is famous.

At par 72, this 6,500- yard course has 14 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.

Oak Marsh played host to the 1991 PGA Section Championship and 1992 Society of Seniors Championship. In addition, numerous resort tournaments are played here. Oak Marsh has been included in Golf Digest's prestigious list of the "Top 75 Resort Courses in the U.S." Oak Marsh also was selected by Travel & Leisure golf as one of "Florida's 50 Finest Courses."

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 3s. 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.

Long Point is a par 72 course with a back tee yardage of 6,775 yards. It has been acclaimed as one of the "Top 50 Courses in Florida", by Golfweek Magazine and one of the "Best Places to Play" by Golf Digest.
