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.

Average Course
This Golf course is your typical public "city" golf course. The layout is good, it's never truly crowded, and the course is in OK condition. I would like to see the tee boxes and fairways fixed up a bit. For the price we play it's difficult to tee off when the tee box looks like a mine pit, feet are always uneven, or the tee box is like a mountain peaking at the middle.
Needs Work & Total Overhaul
Pace of play was great, Thats where the good stuff ends. There is very little grass in fairways or tee boxes. Total sand traps all the way to the hole. Bare, naked ground on fairways and tees. The grass that IS growing is weeds. Greens werent the BEST.. but very good compared to the rest of the course. I took a chance based on price and now i know why it wasnt very busy today. Yardage markers on one of the 9's seemed VERY off from actual distance. The city needs to either put money in this place or build more condos. The current state of course is just plain bad.
Course looks better than I remember
Course seems to be in great shape and the range has been re-done since I visited last.
Course in need of TLC
Making a 10:06 Saturday morning tee time our golf party was placed directly behind the last group in an ongoing golf tournament that was being held. The pace of play was awful and no course ranger was on site to help speed up play. At times it took up to 20 minutes for the group ahead to complete one hole. After (12) holes of play we decided to suspend playing the remaining (6) holes as we were already 3+ hours into the round and to frustrated to continue on.
Also, their were holes where the fairways and tee boxes were bare of grass and every bunker we saw was in need of bunker sand. As a Fernandina Beach native this used to be a nice course to play, not anymore.
The city of FB need to seriously consider investing more money in the needed resources to bring this course back to a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ + rating that it once held. I almost joined this course last year and from what I experienced today, I'm glad I didn't!
Last Round on Vacay
I was on Amelia Island & had been beat up by the upscale courses so on my last day I played the local muni. The fairways were a little spotty, but other than that the course was very nice & challenging enough. I played the North & West 9's. West was a lot longer (par 37) but I think I liked it better.
So sad !
The greens are in great shape. Getting there is another story. Fairways and tee boxes are horrendous!! This course has great potential but the city is missing a great opportunity to make it a financial asset. Gas powered golf carts. Great idea… NOT !
Golf at a Good Price
The course is improving from 1 year ago but still has a long way to go with further improvements. Unless the City of Fernandina Beach gives more money to become a better course, which would increase revenues, improvements will continue to be limited.
Staff is very helpful and friendly and they are doing what they can with limited resources.
Overall, for a lower price round of golf vs. other nearby courses, this course is worth trying.
Rough shape
West course was decent but, the south course is really in bad shape. Won’t be back. It’s been about 15 years since I have been out there. Might be forever before I go back.
Tim
Good layout and pace of play Great. Could be better maintained.. with a little care could be a really nice course.
Uncrowded fast round
Played with my neighbor in less than 3 hours. Teed off at 11:00 am.
Good for a turist
Relaxed course, well maintained. At the time that I played the greens were slow needing a grass cut.
