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.

Needs work
Rough shape.city needs to spend money on this course. It is very popular.
Reasonable value, but rough condition
Nice course in beautiful setting. Greens were OK but the fairways were in tough shape in some areas. Cart path needs extensive work..
Unbelievably Bad
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.
Horrendous
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.
First time
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
Local course
A fun golf course for casual players. Not alot of water or sand obstacles. But it is perfect to utilize for practicing your game.
Great Price and Range
Driving Range is the best around. Course is always a bargain course. Use GolfNow App for deals.
Course needs work
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.
Needs attention
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.
Poor course conditions
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.
Improving
This is a muni, so you should set your expectations accordingly. While conditions are not great, they are improving. The south course was awful, has started to show signs of improvement. There is a long way to go, but it is encouraging to see that there is finally some effort being put forth. This 9 has a great layout, but years of neglect will take years of work to bring it up to par (sorry for the pun).
The greens were in very good condition
I've played here before and it was in good condition for this course. Many of the tee boxes were in need of repair but the greens were the best I've seen them.
