The Golf Club of Amelia Island

this club is run down, dirty, not organized, and worst of all smaller than advertised and wouldn't work for our guest count. We lost our $1,500 deposit which they refused to refund or even work with us on a partial refund. We spent another $1,000 on rooms and flights to get there for the tour. This is $2,500 from our conservative budget that we will never get back towards our dream wedding. There was zero sympathy or customer service extended from management and they were happy to keep our money and say goodbye. We gave them ample opportunity to respond to our complaints and nothing ever made it past the sales rep, Sheridan. From the moment we arrived, there were big red flags. They don't even have a parking lot on site. They're massively overshadowed by The Ritz where all the attention and resources are. From that point, we met with Sheridan and drove to their oceanside venue where the pool and beach are. She did not have her key to let us into the venue. We had to ask a guest to let us in. The pool had chipped paint all over, the deck was dirty. They claimed we could host 125 guests here and there's NO SHOT that's possible. The indoor part of the pool venue is no more than a snowball stand. We asked to see the beach where we wanted to have the ceremony and Sheridan couldn't get access because again, she forgot her access card. She suggested we have a guest let us through and pointed towards the gate for us to give ourselves a tour while she stayed inside in the Air Conditioning. From there we drove back to the clubhouse to see the dinner space, reception venue and patio. Biggest issue here was the space being WAY TO SMALL! Again, they said they could easily have 125 guests and we saw absolutely no chance for this to happen. Maybe 75 people at most with room for DJ and catering. The room was also very old, not renovated and felt like an old clubhouse. It was dark and the lighting was minimal. The patio portion of the clubhouse was the only part that semi lived up to their claims. But still, not enough room for our number and so we simply had no choice but to cancel. The staff was unorganized, unprofessional and non sympathetic. I can't say enough how big of a letdown and disappointment this was. We literally flew down from Baltimore with such excitement and promise and as soon as we arrived, all of that changed. We had no choice but to quickly turnaround and plan an impromptu road trip the next day to see all the venues in the surrounding area. To this day, I have not heard back from any staff to follow up with me about our experience or contract. NOTHING. AT ALL. They clearly don't care and were glad to keep the money and trick the next couple that makes plans with them.

The food is incredible. All of our guest are still raving about the food! To top it all off, Katrina is wonderful! She was so incredibly helpful and kind. The Golf Club of Amelia made our day truly magical!

ns and very easy to deal with. She also had great ideas on how to make the day perfect. This venue has many different options for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception locations and was the absolute perfect spot for what we envisioned for our wedding day! We had an intimate wedding with 42 guests and chose to have the ceremony and cocktail hour on the terrace followed by the reception in the gorgeous fireplace room. The terrace is perfect for a ceremony and is beautiful with the trees lit up! Linsey and her team were extremely attentive and made the night perfect for us and all of our guests. The food was absolutely amazing and we received several comments about how great it was from our guests. I highly recommend the Golf Club of Amelia Island for your wedding venue!!!

guests and the whoe process went extremely smoothly. I found Kaitlyn and Kelly to be poised and professional throughout the entire process. They were both of invaluable assistance on the wedding day. Our guests were all very impressed with the venue and the food. The Golf Club of Amelia Island is a FABULOUS wedding venue.

our evening effortless and allowed us to focus on friends, family and fun. Kaitlyn and Kellie were assertive, sensible, calming, organized, creative, and most of all, trustworthy. They have a design sense that was impeccable and there execution was flawless. I couldn't be happier with the way the wedding turned out. Not to mention the fact they turned Sarah's vision into a reality and filled in all the gaps. It was absolutely stunning. Thank you just can't express how grateful we are for all Kaitlyn and Kellie did to make Sarah and Josh reception a "night to remember". The food was just perfect and all we've heard are glowing compliments about there courteous staff and friendly atmosphere. Guest were very impressed with the quantity of food and it was DELICIOUS! I recommend this team of excellents to any bride.

age. No minimum food and beverage is huge when you're hosting a small wedding. The staff was amazing. They changed employees half way through my planning and they were great to work with through the transition. Kellie and Kaitlyn were great to work with and made sure every detail went off without a hitch. The food was AMAZING! Our guests are still raving about it. The site itself is gorgeous so you do not need many decorations because it's already beautiful. It's on the grounds of the Ritz Carlton which makes for beautiful photo opportunities. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton and had our bridal party get ready in our room which made things really easy. I highly recommend this venue!

ve imagined. Kellie was very responsive from the beginning and was able to work within our budget to create a wonderful evening. She made the planning process easy and stress-free. There were no hidden fees or 'fine print surprises' in our contract which was also nice. We loved that they offered a back-up plan in case of rain that was included with the contract. The back-up plan was the Golf Club which is also beautiful. When the weather looked like it was not going to cooperate the day-of, Kellie was very calm and reassuring. Luckily the rain held out and we did not have to change venues, but if we had I know they would have made it fabulous. My guests have raved about how wonderful the food and service was for the evening. Servers were always there to help without being intrusive. The staff's organization was impeccable and made for a very smooth evening. Guests loved not having to wait in buffet or cake lines. If you are looking for a beautiful venue on Amelia Island, look no further! The Golf Club of Amelia Island/The Beach Club at Summer Beach Village goes above and beyond!

detail amazed me! She met the vendors and showed them where to set up..worry free! Our servers moved constantly around the site, clearing dinner, serving drinks, always with a smile, but practically invisible! Kudos to their manager. I would put them up against a 5 star restaurant staff any day! Just that good! You also have the ability to take pictures at the Golf Club with the huge live oaks and gorgeous grounds...then we moved to the venue at the beach and had more photos there. Gave us lots of variety!! I could go on and on... The whole experience was perfect! (that's what you get when people know their business!!)

y perfect
