3. World Golf Village Resort

The World of Golf Village boasts two courses designed by Hall of Famers. From the legendary minds of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer comes King & Bear. Definitely a driver’s course, King & Bear is the best of both worlds. Complete with a links-style front nine and a traditional Florida marsh back nine, this course is sure to excite both amateurs and professionals. Also at the resort is Slammer & Squire. Bobby Weed collaborated with Hall of Famers, Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead to create the course with an open layout and contoured greens.

4. Oak Marsh at Omni Amelia Island Resort

The Atlantic Ocean sea breeze provides a unique challenge for golfers at the Oak Marsh at Omni Amelia Island Resort. Pete Dye went the extra mile to protect the natural beauty of Amelia Islands. 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 bulk-headed 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.

5. Eagle Landing Golf Club

A Clyde Johnston design, Eagle Landing Golf Club is the signature course of Clay County. The course boasts many classic style holes from around the world. The pro shop also has an extensive his and her selection with friendly staff ready to assist you. While visiting the area, make sure to stop by Pinglehead Brewery for a refreshing handcrafted brew after you play.
