Golf Communities on Amelia Island & in Nassau County

36 homes for sale · Updated from the MLS

Nassau County golf splits into two worlds: the island, where Pete Dye and Tom Fazio courses run under the oaks of Amelia Island Plantation and the Ritz-Carlton anchors the club at Summer Beach — and the mainland, where an Arnold Palmer Signature course and a bundled Fazio country club deliver the same lifestyle at mainland prices. This guide covers both, then lists every golf home currently for sale in Nassau County.

Golf on Amelia Island & Nassau County: resort, club, and mainland value

Nassau County golf splits into two worlds: the island — Pete Dye and Tom Fazio courses under the oaks of Amelia Island Plantation and the Ritz-Carlton's club at Summer Beach — and the mainland, where an Arnold Palmer Signature course and a Fazio country club deliver the golf lifestyle at mainland prices, fifteen minutes from the beach. Here are the communities with golf homes for sale right now, and the club fine print that matters on each.

North Hampton

Yulee · mainland

North Hampton is the mainland's golf sweet spot: an Arnold Palmer Signature course (2001) with genuinely rare 40-foot elevation changes, spring-fed lakes lined with coquina boulders, and a Scottish-links character you won't find elsewhere in the region. The club is semi-private with public tee times, and its membership is deliberately small — capped around 120, with a full membership initiation near $5K, a fraction of comparable clubs.

The amenity residents rave about isn't the golf: it's The Outpost, a second clubhouse on Lofton Creek with a kayak launch, fishing dock, fire pits, and an oyster roaster. Add the resort pool, tennis and pickleball, HOA-included internet — and no CDD fee, a real differentiator among Yulee master plans. Established single-family homes typically run from the $400s to about $1.2M.

Amelia National Golf & Country Club

Fernandina Beach (mainland) · SR-200

Amelia National is Nassau County's true bundled country club: a gated ICI Homes community of about 750 custom and semi-custom homes around a Tom Fazio course (2006) — currently getting its first major renovation, overseen by the original Fazio firm: new turf, repositioned bunkers, greens restored to their original sizes, and an upgraded practice facility.

The budgeting detail buyers most often miss: a "Lifestyle Membership" — clubhouse, resort pool and spa complex, eight Har-Tru courts, fitness, dining — is mandatory with every home purchase; the Premier Golf tier that adds Fazio's course is optional on top. New construction is still available alongside resales, from the $400s on interior lots to well past $1.2M on golf and preserve frontage.

The Plantation is the island's original resort community — 1,350 acres of maritime oak canopy, boardwalks, and beach clubs holding two very different golf situations. Oak Marsh, Pete Dye's 1972 walkable resort course, reopened in 2025 after a full Beau Welling renovation and is played through the Omni resort. Long Point, Tom Fazio's 1987 design with back-to-back par 3s in the Atlantic dunes, belongs to the member-owned Amelia Island Club — a separate equity purchase that no home deed confers.

That distinction is the whole ballgame when buying here: "in the Plantation" gets you the resort world (and strong vacation-rental economics on the villa side); Long Point golf requires joining the club, which also carries Omni amenity access — the 23-court tennis complex, pools, and spa. There's even Little Sandy, a 10-hole Welling par-3 built on part of the old Ocean Links land. Inventory runs from marsh-view villas in the $500s to oceanfront estates past $3M.

Summer Beach & The Golf Club of Amelia Island

Amelia Island · at the Ritz-Carlton

Summer Beach is the island's polished resort-luxury pocket: oceanfront condos, courtyard villas, and estate homes gathered around The Ritz-Carlton and The Golf Club of Amelia Island — a Mark McCumber/Gene Littler design (1987) draped in moss-hung oaks on the front nine and marsh on the back, host of the 1998 Legends of Golf.

The club is a private/semi-private hybrid — members plus Ritz-Carlton guests — owned since 2012 by Concert Golf Partners, whose reinvestment shows in the renovated clubhouse and its back patio over the 18th green. Members get the club's Beach Club, reciprocal privileges across Concert's national portfolio, and discounted Ritz rates: the only club on the island tied to a five-star hotel. Second-home buyers dominate; actives typically span the $500s (villas) to $2M+.

Two Nassau golf facts that don't fit a gate: Fernandina Beach Golf Club, the city-owned 27 holes by the airport, includes the oldest course on the island (1956) plus a Toptracer range — the value play every island golfer should know. And Del Webb Wildlight, the area's new 55+ community, has no course of its own — but that's a feature for many buyers: no bundled golf costs, with The Golf Club at North Hampton ten minutes away for the days you want to play.

Wildlight buyers who golf typically pair the community's 15,000 sq ft clubhouse, dual pools, pickleball, and trail network with a North Hampton membership — the flexible version of the golf-community equation, at Nassau County prices. Del Webb homes run from the mid-$400s to the $700s; the pairing puts a Palmer Signature course and Amelia's beaches inside the same twenty-minute radius.

Frequently asked questions

Does buying in Amelia Island Plantation include golf?

Not automatically — and the distinction matters. Oak Marsh (Pete Dye, renovated 2025) is played through the Omni resort. Long Point (Tom Fazio) belongs to the member-owned Amelia Island Club, a separate equity membership no home deed confers. Budget the club as its own decision.

Which Nassau County golf community bundles membership with the home?

Amelia National — every home purchase carries a mandatory Lifestyle Membership (clubhouse, resort pool, tennis, fitness, dining), with the Premier Golf tier for the Tom Fazio course optional on top. It is the county's one true bundled country-club community.

Is there public golf on Amelia Island?

Yes — Fernandina Beach Golf Club, the city-owned 27 holes near the airport, includes the oldest course on the island (1956) and a Toptracer range. Oak Marsh at the Omni takes resort bookings, and The Golf Club at North Hampton on the mainland is semi-private with public tee times.

Are there 55+ communities with golf near Amelia Island?

Del Webb Wildlight is the area's 55+ community — it has no course of its own, which many buyers count as a feature: no bundled golf costs, with the Arnold Palmer Signature course at North Hampton about ten minutes away and memberships there starting around $5K.

What happened to Ocean Links at the Omni?

The Pete Dye/Bobby Weed course closed in 2017 and never returned as 18 holes despite a court fight. Part of that land now hosts Little Sandy, a 10-hole Beau Welling par-3 short course — a sensitive subject with long-time Plantation owners, and worth understanding before buying near the old routing.
