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.

Worst tee boxes ive seen

Worst tea boxes I’ve seen in a while, barely any grass very sandy . No flat level spot to tee off . Either below or above your feet . Very bad way to start each hole. Just over all disappointment

Disappointed

Tee boxes were sandy trash , not a single flat spot to tee up . You had to either tee it up below your feet or above your feet,rough way to start each hole, course conditions have been alot better in the past! Fair way was decent , the rough was like playing out of sand instead of rough. Greens do not have a fringe. out of my last 20 outings this year this was my least favorite so far. I enjoyed it better in the past

Nice Course

This is a three nine hole course. We played the west and south course. Upon arrival the staff were really helpful and nice. The practice facility was great. I loved the layout of each course, can be challenging but very manageable. Be aware that there are a lot of trees. The courses were in really good condition for this time of year. Greens were really fast. We paid $49 through golf now and I feel that it was definitely worth it. Look forward to going back and playing the north course next time.

Terrible condition!

They should be embarrassed at the condition of the greens

And the fairways were almost as bad.

Need to Rename Course to Plantation Oaks

Played the North and West courses. Many holes have large oak tree limbs hanging out over the fairways and tee boxes. Course needs some serious tree trimming but likely won't happen due to oak trees are over 200 years old.

I likley will not play this course again and IMO not worth the cost to play it.

Garbage

A goat ranch disguised as a golf course. No grass on fairways. Greens are diseased. Should be condemned and turned into housing.

Improving

Greens are very good, traps are good, tees ok, fairways still a bit thin. Even with the dormant Bermuda grass coming to life, the fairways are still thin.

Unposted rules and grumpy players

Got there early to hit the range.. asked where to park the golf cart and was pointed to a building with minimal parking. Afterwards, I drove up to the putting green. As most, you can park near the green. It was brought to my attention I couldnt park near it by a very grouchy starter. Maybe next time put something up to say where cart parking should be and I was still on the path not on any grass. So, I went up to begin my round after confirming doing West and South by both the office and starter. At the first T, a couple guys came up and I thought they were joining me. Come to find out after being berated with some expletives, I was put in front of a 50 person event. Told the guy to take it up with the office. I did have two persons join me and we moved along pretty quickly only to catch up with several slow players ahead of us. After about 5 holes, Mr Grump behind us drove past and apparently stopped playing. Aside from the jerks I had to deal with, the course was in fair shape. A little pricy for the condition of the course.
