The Golf Club at North Hampton

Located on beautiful Amelia Island just minutes from historic Fernandina Beach and less than an hour from Jacksonville, The Golf Club at North Hampton offers one of the most distinctive public golf experiences on Florida’s northeast coast. Designed by Arnold Palmer, this links-inspired layout combines rolling terrain, dramatic elevation changes, and strategic shot values rarely found in the Sunshine State. The result is a memorable round that rewards thoughtful course management while showcasing the natural beauty of the region.

Stretching just over 7,100 yards from the back tees, North Hampton delivers a classic risk-reward golf experience in the spirit of its legendary designer. Four sets of tees allow golfers of all abilities to enjoy the course, while generous fairways often tempt players into taking aggressive lines off the tee. Water comes into play on numerous holes, however, and Palmer’s design constantly challenges golfers to weigh risk against reward. Ten spring-fed lakes, native grasses, and more than 40 feet of elevation change create a layout that feels dramatically different from the typical Florida golf course.

The course’s large, undulating greens are among its defining characteristics. Fast putting surfaces place a premium on precision both approaching and around the greens, while subtle contours can quickly turn a routine two-putt into a much greater challenge. Throughout the round, golfers are treated to scenic views of rolling hills, woodlands, and abundant wildlife, with frequent sightings of cranes, eagles, and other native species adding to the experience.

North Hampton also boasts one of the area’s premier practice facilities. A spacious natural turf driving range features multiple target greens and bunkers that help simulate on-course conditions, while dedicated chipping, pitching, and putting areas provide ample opportunities to sharpen every aspect of your game. PGA professionals are available for lessons and instruction, making the facility an excellent destination for golfers looking to improve their scores.

Beyond the golf course, visitors will find a welcoming clubhouse atmosphere complete with dining, social events, and a well-stocked golf shop featuring apparel, equipment, accessories, and custom club fitting services. Whether you’re visiting Amelia Island for a golf getaway or searching for a new favorite course close to home, The Golf Club at North Hampton delivers a combination of championship golf, outstanding conditions, and memorable scenery that keeps players coming back year after year.
