After reading some of the recent reviews my son and I decided to try this course while on a trip to Amelia Island. The course was is decent shape but much better then the old reviews give it credit for. We played the West Course then the South Course as the North Course was closed for aeration.
Tee boxes were in good shape and fairways were mostly well maintained. As a recent reviewer noted, if you find yourself in the rough it may take a bit of time to find your ball as it tends to sit down deep in the grass. You will find it but it does slow the pace a bit. We played as a twosome and had a cart. The round took just over 3 hours since there was no one ahead of us.
Greens were in good shape. They rolled much slower then what we are used to back home which took some adjusting but for the most part rolled slow and true.
Pro Shop was nice…and cool after the hot round. Lots of great gear and the guy running the pro shop was nice and welcoming.
Overall I’d definitely recommend this course if visiting the area. Right price, some interesting holes and right on the island!

Friendly staff. Can tell the course and team is trying to make it better, but gonna be another couple of years before it’s great. In the meantime, as long as you roll the ball a bit in the fairways, it’s a good experience. Greens were true. Good pace of play on a Thursday afternoon. Disappointed I called and they said fee would be one thing, then I showed up and it was more. Twilight starts at 3 now apparently. Call and confirm. But I also didn’t have a tee time.
I’ll definitely go back, mix in a low cost muni once in a while, pay $149 down the road once in a while. Generally open fairways and trees are fairly forgiving if you hit a bad one. Some tee boxes are struggling, but can see progress.
West course is long!

Went as a spectator today, playing 18 holes. Staff was very friendly and professional. Pace of play was excellent. Fairways and greens are very well maintained, great rolls. Sand was great. Would absolutely recommend and come back again. Everything was very clean, especially the on course bathrooms. 10/10
