Long Point, Tom Fazio's creation, is an 18-hole layout distinctly designed among primal marshlands and the towering sand dunes of the Atlantic. Long Point is our Club Members primary course; however, resort guests may reserve tee times one day in advance.
The Amelia Island Plantation Golf School, conducted by Ron Philos' School of Golf, is located at the prestigious Long Point Golf Course. Nestled between ancient live oaks, the school overlooks its own private driving range and practice green. The golf pro shops at Amelia River and Long Point offer private instruction, equipment rental, customized gifts, golf accessories and sportswear.

Between the flourishing riverfront city of Jacksonville and the historic town of St. Augustine lies a village, World Golf Village. World Golf Village is a 6,300-acre community that offers first-class shopping, restaurants, a world of entertainment and, of course, incredible golf. The centerpiece of the community is the World Golf Hall of Fame. Not your typical museum, the World Golf Hall of Fame is an interactive journey from golf's infancy in Scotland to today's Tigermania.
Located in what is fondly referred to as "Florida's First Coast of Golf," World Golf Village is surrounded by the home of the PGA TOUR and the Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra, and over 50 world-class golf courses in the region including the King & Bear and Slammer & Squire at the World Golf Village.
World Golf Hall of Fame is located 12 miles west of historic St. Augustine and is 50 minutes - and just one traffic light - south of the Jacksonville International Airport. Within a short 20-minute drive, visitors can discover the First Coast's 90 miles of sand beaches, charter a deep-sea fishing boat, rent a jet ski, para-sail or go on a dolphin-watching excursion, as well as visit many world-renowned attractions.
