Course Highlights
Three distinct 9-hole layouts offer varied challenges, with consistently smooth greens and improving fairway conditions that reward accurate ball-striking. Exceptionally friendly staff and a brisk pace of play make this course an outstanding value for the area.

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.

Poor Conditions

Got to the course and paid for round. Was told no starter “just tee off at your time”. Playing west to south. First tee box only had 1 set of tees as the blue tee box was overgrown. Greens were destroyed by fungus and little to no grass to putt on. Cart paths were torn up and falling apart, bunkers had about 1/2” of dirt “no sand”. 2 par 4 holes on the south course were closed off and made into par 3’s hitting off mats. Just a terrible round. I drove 2 hrs one way to play a course that couldn’t be bothered with course maintenance. Just horrible.

Getting better

North Course was in nice shape. South fairways are still in poor condition.

Need top soil and a plan to rehab on a hole by hole basis. Layout is great.

Need topsoil and grass planted to recover the South Course.

Fast greens, but no grass on the fairways

They had nice, fast greens, but that's it. The course was dirt and weeds. A lot of the tee boxes were uneven, and had little to no grass

Nice layout and staff are welcoming and friendly. It was only $29 but you get why you pay for.

Needs Help

This course has really gone downhill. What used to be a cheaper, OK course has really fallen apart. Tee boxes are uneven as they come. Fairways have tons of mud, more than they have grass. Cart paths are rough, really rough. Carts do not run well.

USED TO BE A GOOD COURSE FOR THE MONEY UNTIL THEY RAISED THEIR RATES

I love the 27 hole design; however, the management company has not done a very good job of fixing the glaring issues with course maintenance nor has the city of Fernandina Beach with funding. The new

60 dollar rate is ridiculous for the condition of the North, West and South courses.. Most fairways are missing grass in a majority of the holes and omg the greens; go ahead and add a stroke to how bad they actually are with all the dead, missing or weeded grass. Keep your 60 and go to the river or north Hampton.

Dont bother

Registered as single. Group i was matched with wanted to play without 4th, starter let them? I had to wait two more groups. Round took over 5 hours and 20 minutes. I watched two groups in front of us, too many should not have been on a course, couldn't advance the ball. No ranger to move groups along.

Course was in awful shape. Thankfully the weather was great. I canceled my Sunday t time. A very unpleasant experience.
