Amelia Hotel at the Beach

Unwind on the white-powder sands of Amelia Island, where palm trees and stunning ocean views frame one of Florida’s most relaxing vacation spots – Amelia Hotel at the Beach. Located just steps from the beach, and mere minutes from historic downtown Fernandina and Amelia Island’s renowned golf courses like Fernandina Beach Golf Club, The Amelia River Club and Oak Marsh, you’ll never run out of things to do!

Hidden Hills Golf Club

Hidden Hills Golf Club is located in Jacksonville, just a short drive from the Beaches, Downtown and the Southside. The club features a driving range, 9-hole and 18-hole golf options, and a full service restaurant. This course provides a challenging experience and features dog legs, artificially elevated greens and a few holes that don't allow you to lay up because of the water placement. Close by, you can stay near Downtown Jacksonville at DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, or relax at beachside accommodations like the island-inspired Margaritaville Beach Hotel Jacksonville Beach or Courtyard by Marriott Oceanfront.

Leisure travelers and business personnel alike are sure to be impressed by the unwavering guest service at Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island-Historic Harbor Front. The boutique hotel is located in a quaint, Victorian seaport village, overlooking the Fernandina Beach Marina. Amelia River cruises and carriage tours are a short walk away and the hotel is just a half-mile from shops, bars, and restaurants — and under 10 minutes from the Amelia Island Lighthouse.

At Eagle Landing Golf Club, the 7,037 yard Clyde Johnston design takes on a vintage feel as he incorporates several of the classic design holes from around the world into the par-72 layout. Eagle Landing also offers a magnificent golf clubhouse with sports bar, fully-stocked pro shop, his and her locker rooms, and an elegant restaurant overlooking sparkling water, abundant wildlife and lush fairways. You will be finding affordable rates here but will not be sacrificing quality. Nearby lodging options include Courtyard Jacksonville Orange Park located near the highway and recently renovated.

Palm Harbor Golf Club

Known as “The First & Best in Palm Coast,” Palm Harbor Golf Club is a golf course that will test your ability, and give you the opportunity to use all the clubs in your bag. After your round, relax by the pool or beach at Hammock Beach Resort, or choose to stay at the nearby Fairfield Inn & Suites Palm Coast to be just a short drive from even more golf at Cypress Knoll Golf & Country Club.
