South/North at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
Grass in the rough is TOO long
Overall, the course is good. There is one really big problem inmy mind.
If you miss the fairway, you lose your ball in the VERY LONG grass . I spent a lot of time looking for my ball when it should not have been so difficult to find it.
They need to cut the first rough cut a little lower.
Greens
The greens on the north course were in bad condition and the greens on the south course were being arriated
Thank you so much for your review. We have been a bit behind with our aerification schedule due to the weather. We are continuing to make improvements and look forward to you coming back again!
The course does not honor pricing
The course is in poor condition. The staff was rude, and they refused to honor the prepaid pricing and demanded more money at check in.
Course was in bad cy
Only nine holes were open for play and the greens were in poor condition.
Carts only allowed on North course
I arrived for my tee time and was told that the South course was closed and the West was walking only so if I wanted to play 18 holes with a cart I needed to play the North course twice. The first time around was actually quite nice as the pace of play was good. When I went to play my second nine it was quite backed up and I quit after 6 holes.
Good time for a first time
This course is well layed out and fun. Some challenging holes with narrow fairways surrounded by trees and water. I played the North/South courses as the West course was closed due to the hurricane that recently came through. The only issue I had was when I checked in for my T Time no one mentioned the men’s group that was playing earlier that morning. The pace of play was extremely slow. 7-10 minutes per hole starting on the second hole on the front nine. The staff were very courteous, the Marshall was out and trying to speed it up, and the bloody Mary’s were on point. Definitely will be back again.

I only meant to pay and play 9
We only played 9
Any partial refund potential
No worries either way
Improvements are showing
Played this course for over 30 years. This course used to be one of the better courses in North Florida. I always liked the layout and value. Over the last decade the course had fallen in disrepair. The greens and fairways were patchy and in bad shape. Now, they have gotten the greens in much better shape and the fairways have filled in. I played West and South today and was extremely happy with the progress made.
Big Improvmenta
Course has come a very long way in the past year other than a couple greens that still need work this course played better than it has in the 2 years I’ve been playing there.
Last day round
After a fun visit on the island ,including golf at other courses, we decided to play a final round here. (West+South). You can tell the 27 holes had the bones of a nice course … in its day. Length instead of layout difficultly. Loved the views around the course, and greens all had the right amount of approach difficulty.
But the course has seem far better days. Tee boxes are a mess, and fairways of mixed grass and weeds break up any chance of a good lie. The greens were very slow and in much need or water and TLC.
Grounds crew using bushhog instead of normal maintenance equipment says a lot. Bathrooms on the course were scary at best.
Maybe the members are ok with the state of the course and that is fine if true, but with some capital infusion, a profession greens keeper, and robust water utilization, this course could return to a go to destination for visitors. Right now, I can’t recommend it.
