Latest News from Amelia National Golf and Country Club
June 23, 2025Living at Amelia National Golf & Country Club, a signature ICI Homes master-planned community, means enjoying fabulous Florida weather year-round.
But, when that weather gets a bit extra? Amelia National’s prime northeast Florida location gives residents plenty of fun things to do indoors (we see you, heat, humidity, and summer showers).
Begin at Amelia National’s stunning clubhouse, the community’s amenity anchor. Work up a sweat in the fitness center. Attend a trainer-led yoga or workout class. Meet friends and neighbors for a tasty meal and luscious drinks in the dining room or 19th hole bar and grill. Or, round up those friends and neighbors for a fun cookout on your covered lanai.
And, when it’s time to seek indoor fun elsewhere, there’s no lack of activities and entertainment in Amelia National’s hometown of Fernandina Beach. Cruise through some options below.
Adventures in Reading
Fernandina Beach offers several places to curl up with a good book or to find a new title for your reading list. Browsing a bookstore is also a rewarding indoor activity for kids and grandkids, a sure way to ignite young imaginations and conversations with adults.
A Fernandina Beach branch of the Nassau County Public Library system is located downtown. The Book Loft is another nearby option, as is Story & Song Bookstore Bistro on Park Avenue.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the annual Amelia Island Book Festival each February.
Artistic Endeavors
Taking an art class not only feeds our creativity, it’s also a unique way to have fun with folks you know, or to meet new friends indoors.
Several Fernandina Beach-area art studios offer classes in different disciplines such as painting and drawing, plus popular “make-it” events where an instructor leads attendees step by step through the process of creating an original drawing, pottery piece or embellished sign.
Amelia Makery and Paisley Grace Makery, both downtown Fernandina Beach-based, are two outlets that offer creative events and classes.
Indoor Play
Amelia National residents can still compete when it’s hot, humid or drizzly outside!
Try Duck Pinz, a mini-bowling alley in downtown Fernandina Beach and Golf Pub Social on Sadler Road. Duck Pinz includes an second-floor bar that overlooks its lanes, and Golf Pub Social offers three playable Trackman golf simulators. A covered patio makes Golf Pub Social inviting even during those summer showers, with table tennis and corn hole boards available for additional competition. Expect pub fare and libations for sustenance.
Tour a Museum
Whether you’re a current or prospective Amelia National resident, one of the many perks of living in the Fernandina Beach-Amelia Island region is its history. Centuries of major events and historical twists and turns occurred here, and there are multiple museums and conserved historical sites that tell you all about it.
Start with the Amelia Island Museum of History, then branch out to others. Compile a museum checklist for regular comfy indoor outings with family and friends.

April 24, 2025Crews are now hard at work on Amelia National Golf & Country Club’s renovation of its storied Tom Fazio-designed golf course.
It’s an exciting next step for the crown jewel amenity at Fernandina Beach’s best address. The multi-million-dollar renovation project began in mid-March, after the golf course closed following another active winter season. And although it won’t be an instantaneous process, the renovation — overseen by the course’s original architectural firm, FAZIO Designs — also won’t be a complete overhaul.
“I would say this is more of a re-grassing and a refreshing of the current golf course and the current golf conditions,” said FAZIO Designs’ Gavin Fazio during a November presentation.
Amelia National is one of ICI Homes’ signature properties in northeast Florida, nestled 10 minutes west of downtown Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island’s glorious Atlantic beaches.
The Fazio-designed golf course is the centerpiece here, winding throughout this gated community. It provides beautiful natural backdrops to residents’ homes and Amelia National’s French Provincial clubhouse, which also serves as the amenity hub.
If you’re a golfing enthusiast seeking a new custom luxury home in northeast Florida, Amelia National should be on your radar. Because soon, you’ll have a better-than-ever course to play!
Here’s more information.
Diving into details
Amelia National and its golf course opened in 2006. After two decades of enthusiastic use, some tweaking and updating is necessary.
A critical factor is the course’s original iteration. Tom Fazio designed Amelia National using the existing coastal-forested terrain, placing holes, greens and fairways into an already lovely place.
The current renovation builds off those good bones rather than uprooting everything from scratch. It prioritizes these five goals, as presented by Gavin Fazio and project manager Ron Smith in November:
Improve course conditions with new turf and decrease shade issues.
Renovate course to modern standards for more efficient maintenance.
At some holes, re-position bunkers and add tees for improved strategy and playability.
Improve current practice facilities by re-positioning cart tracks and shifting vegetation, etc., to make a great entrance to the course even better.
Restore greens back to original sizes to maximize hole locations.
A few more deets
Amelia National’s course will be outfitted with one of the golfing industry’s cutting-edge turf choices.
FAZIO Design crews will use a technology called Bunker Solution to update bunkers and minimize washout problems. Per Gavin Fazio and Smith, this ensures Amelia National’s bunkers will contain less square footage and provide better visibility.
Trees will be trimmed and/or removed in select areas to improve vistas and turf growth, and drainage issues will be tackled and solved.
Half of the project’s multi-million-dollar budget will fund a new golf maintenance facility.
As with any natural site work and terrain processes, a golf course renovation takes time. Amelia National’s golf professionals are helping residents find golfing resources during the renovation. And don’t hesitate to enjoy local mini-golf courses.
Stay tuned for updates!

February 12, 2025One significant perk of living at Amelia National Golf & Country is the year-round local events calendar.
Amelia National residents are mere minutes west of their hometown of Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island — one of Florida’s major resort destinations — and its vibrant arts, culture and dining scenes.
Special events, festivals and social opportunities run nearly nonstop during northeast Florida’s mild winter season and vibrant early spring. Two premier festivals this time of year involve literary and musical pursuits — the Amelia Island Book Festival and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. Both are highly popular, attract world-renowned literary and musical talent, and are well worth exploring.
Here’s a quick primer on both festivals, and how Amelia National residents can check them out.
Amelia Island Book Festival
Founded in 2001, the Amelia Island Book Festival focuses on the fun of reading and writing. It places an emphasis on promoting lifelong literacy for the young and young at heart throughout northeast Florida.
Its signature event happens each February and features a star-studded lineup of authors who visit area schools, participate in an expansive public event featuring discussions, Q&As and book signings. These literary icons also attend a black-tie gala.
International best-seller John Grisham, who has vacationed on Amelia Island, is a past participant in the Amelia Island Book Festival. In fact, Fernandina Beach’s downtown bookstore, The Book Loft, served as inspiration for the fictional bookstore in his Camino Island novel.
The Amelia Island Book Festival is a wonderful way to celebrate storytelling, and interested Amelia National residents should note that the organization offers memberships, and donation and volunteer opportunities year-round.
The 2025 Amelia Island Book Festival takes place February 28-March 1.
Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival
This special event not only takes place during northeast Florida’s mild winter, but also extends into balmy late spring, giving Amelia National residents seven months to enjoying multiple live musical performances.
Now in its 24th year, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival begins in mid-December and ends in mid-June. Each month features concerts at popular locations in Fernandina Beach and across Amelia Island — all only minutes from Amelia National.
Unfamiliar with chamber music? It’s often performed in small venues, either by solo musicians or a group, and frequently includes stringed instruments and pianos. Music by great classical composers are staples, but many Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival performers also are known for modern compositions and popular genres such as bluegrass.
As with the Amelia Island Book Festival, Amelia National residents can support the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival via attendance, sponsorship, volunteering and donations.
