South/North at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
About
South/North is one of three golf courses at Fernandina Beach Golf Club. The facility is home to three distinct nines that form three different 18-hole combinations. Winding through thick forests of oaks and pines, Fernandina Beach Golf Club's South/North course offers a glimpse at native Florida wildlife. The South nine depends more on accuracy rather than distance while the north nine, the shortest in length of the three, features undulating greens. Water hazards also come into play throughout the golf course. Fernandina Beach's 27 unique holes are made even more appealing by the affordable rates and convenient proximity to Jacksonville and the beach.

Much improved
Expectations were low given previous experiences. We were pleasantly surprised by the improvements to the South and West courses. While they are far from “country club” levels, the course is vastly improved. No more bare dirt fairways and spotty greens. The greens are very good and the fairways have real grass on them.
Fern Beach Public Course Review
Unfortunately, the course has not gotten any better over the years. The fairways are rock hard, the greens are just Ok, and the tee boxes are hit or miss. The range is closed due to insurance claim issues from the hurricane. The layout is good and the staff are very friendly, I really want the course to be great, but sadly it’s not.
Course is improving
This course has dealt with some mismanagement in the past and was starting to overcome that when they got about a foot of rain from a tropical system that set them back a little. I can't wait to see how they improve in the spring and the summer. The greens were not overseeded, but the majority are in good to great shape. They putt true but are not fast. They are soft to land on. Fairways are mostly in good shape. The layout makes it challenging and fun. They probably are more like a 3.5 on course conditions, but since they have some of the better greens right now, I gave them a 4.
Midday golf
Golf course was nice. Been playing at this courses for 43 years
Great course
Wonderful course. Was able to play as a single for all 18 holes with no one behind or ahead of me. Really relaxing. Grounds are well kept, staff very friendly, and views were great. Love this place
Some interesting holes
Greens were good and true. Fairways were a little spotty. Rough was kinda rough.
