Amelia National Clubhouse, Resort-Style Pool
Amelia National Golf Club has announced the Ron Philo School of Golf will be based at the country club beginning December 15, 2011. Amelia National offers golfers a Tom Fazio golf course and is located just 6 miles from Amelia Island, Florida.
For those seeking the lifestyle of a golf course community with easy access to the beach in northeast Florida or southeast Georgia, the addition of golf instruction by the Ron Philo School of Golf adds to the allure of this Amelia Island area golf community.
The Ron Philo School of Golf is led by Ron Philo Sr. (teacher of the year northeast New York), and Ron Philo Jr. (New England Teacher of the Year 2011, Teacher of the Year Vermont 5 times and 2006 PGA National Champion).
Award-winning PGA Professional, Ron Philo, Sr., has spent his whole life sharing his passion for golf with his family. This passion for sharing resulted in the creation of Ron Philo’s School of Golf with his son, Ron Philo, Jr., and led his daughter, Laura Diaz, to success on the LPGA tour.

THINKING ABOUT BUYING A HOME IN A GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY? MORE ABOUT AMELIA NATIONAL
The first phase of new homes were built in this gated golf course property in 2006. Both resale homes and new construction homes from builder ICI Homes are available in this Nassau County, Florida neighborhood. Resale homes appear to be a bargain for the upgrades per square foot (and community amenities). Consider that existing homes can be purchased for as little as $80 per square foot — and that’s no typo. As of this writing, for example, a 5 BR/4BA Amelia National home with around 3,500 square feet is listed at $278,100. Another listing for sale is a 4BR/2.5 BA home with around 3,300 SF on the market for $265,000.
