Amelia Island Plantation’s Long Point Golf Course was completed in 1987. Tom Fazio's award winning design challenges golfers with natural hazards, tight fairways and elevated greens. The rolling fairways wind through three spectacular and distinctive settings: the natural salt marshes, old-growth oak and pine forests and the scenic oceanfront dunes. Long Point Golf Course’s character is shaped by natural waste bunkers, large undulating greens and two very distinctive, back to back oceanfront Par 3's. In addition, the golf course demands that you carry water hazards on eight different holes. Many of these holes offer breathtaking views of the Amelia River and expansive salt marshes.

Long Point has been listed as one of the "Top Fifty Courses in Florida", by Golfweek Magazine and one of the "Best Places to Play" by Golf Digest. The Florida Women's Amateur, Men's US Open and US Amateur qualifiers have been held over the course in the past in addition to numerous Amelia Island Club events and championships.
