South/North at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

The winter has been hard on this course. The fairways are mostly dirt with some grass. The rough is mostly weeds. Looks like they are working on the South nine, but it’s going to take some time. It’s owned by the city, so they probably don’t have a big enough budget to care for it adequately. The greens were pretty good though.

Currently in the worse condition that I have seen it in. There are areas roped of to try to grow grass

This is the second time my wife and I have played this course and have enjoyed it very much both times.

In my 40+ years of playing this game I have never come across a golf course in worse condition. In such a warm climate one would naturally question how the grass could be so thin as to cause u to roll your ball to find a thin patch of grass. The first cut of rough was a continuous mat of overlapping weeds that resemble miniature "Lilly pads". Not being from this area I could not identify this weed but it has no purpose of being on a golf course. Why would the owners not keep this golf course in better conditions commensurate to the upscale resort area is the question you have to ask. Horrible.

Rough shape.city needs to spend money on this course. It is very popular.

Nice course in beautiful setting. Greens were OK but the fairways were in tough shape in some areas. Cart path needs extensive work..

Why is a golf course in the warm climate of Florida in such bad condition? I simply do not understand. This has to be the worst condition of a golf course that I have personally experienced in my forty+ years of playing. If I had not pre paid for my round in advance I would have quit after 5 holes and asked for a refund. I really hate to bad mouth anybody or anything but conditions were so horrible that I feel it is my responsibility to alert folks who are spending their vacation on Amelia Island to pass on this golf course. Sorry but the owners need to do something.

I’ve played this course course multiple times and plenty of other courses around a 60 mile radius. Not sure what has happened in the past year, but this course has extremely suffered from the lack of proper management. The course was in horrible condition and the pace of play was managed poorly as well. There was a 7some holding up the entire course and they didn’t let anyone pass. A couple people behind us even quit. The layout is great, but it needs some serious investment as it’s starting to become more of an eye sore.

Course was ok and greens showed winter wear. Warmer weather would help the grass a lot. Convenient to our rental house. Would play it again

A fun golf course for casual players. Not alot of water or sand obstacles. But it is perfect to utilize for practicing your game.

Driving Range is the best around. Course is always a bargain course. Use GolfNow App for deals.

Nice, flat layout, but Course is suffering from neglect. .Numerous fairway areas were without grass or roped off. I doubt I'll play this course again.

played several time at this course, but now is worst condition, will not come again.

need maintenance a lot.

The South course should be closed, trees removed and reseeded before it is reopened. There are 3 or 4 holes where they have roped off the fairways to cart traffic and are attempting to grow grass. The grass is not growing, and until it does grow and fill in, these holes are all but unplayable. It would be better to close this 9, and work to get it fully rehabbed and ready for real play.

I understand it is January but the fairways were in very poor condition.

The greens were decent speed but clumps of new grass sprouting made putts of less than 10’ very difficult.

Sand traps were consistent and well maintained.

Note: I rarely submit reviews. I was quite disappointed.
