The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island has a par-72, 18-hole golf course that was designed by Mark McCumber and Gene Littler. Golf lessons for individuals and groups are available through the course's Academy at The Golf Club of Amelia Island.

The resort introduced golf to the region back in 1928 with the Ocean Course. The Lagoon Course followed some 40 years later, designed by the collaborative efforts of Robert Trent Jones and Joe Lee. Both courses offer 18 holes and share three putting greens, a practice bunker and a pitching and chipping green.

The Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort is home to three championship golf courses, as well as a golf academy. The original Oak Marsh course, designed in 1972 by Pete Dye, has hosted a couple of PGA Championships, while the Ocean Links course, designed by Bobby Weed, offers 18 holes alongside the Atlantic Ocean. The Long Point course is the main course for Amelia Island Club members and was designed by Tom Fazio.

Golf enthusiasts will enjoy the resort's 54 holes of oceanfront golf spread across three courses: Oak Marsh, Ocean Links and Long Point. Although Long Point is typically reserved for club members, guests of The Villas can reserve tee times a day in advance. All three courses are shared with the resort's adjacent sister property, the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort.

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort offers two 18-hole championship golf courses: The Stadium Course and Dye's Valley Course. Tee times at Marsh Landing Country Club and Sawgrass Country Club can also be arranged through the resort's concierge. Both on-site golf courses were designed by Pete Dye.
