South/North at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

This course was an absolute delight to play. It offered a perfect balance of openness and challenge, complemented by breathtaking natural scenery. I’m definitely going to play this course again.

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.

For the price point, this is the best muni around. I love this course and have played it many times. Staff is great, driving range is great, course rocks.

Green and traps were consistent and very playable. The fairways and tees need to improve.( Unfortunately we were behind 3 young guys trying to match the beer count with the hole count. As a result play was slow. This is not the fault of the course. )

With public golf options becoming more limited on Amelia, the course has apparently upped its fees. The fees no longer justify the experience. Everything is pretty average for a municipal course, making the $80 greens fee pretty steep.pace of play was great, as the course was far from full, even though the weather was wonderful. There’s a message there. It’s less expensive to travel inland just a bit, and to courses are better.

I would like to play the course in spring or fall, with good grass coverage. But would not recommend playing it in winter.

Nice muni. Pace was a little slow. Gold tees don't get much so some holes were pretty long. I'll play it with Golf Now or Tee Off hot deals but not full price.

We winter close to the course, so it’s an easy decision to play there. Like all the courses in this area that are not very premium priced or totally private, the grass is dormant and brown. If you can’t get past that, you’ll need to be significantly south or pay very high greens fees. Played north and south nines. They are very different in character. North is typical muni. South is a former private course, so it has more interesting features. Both have large greens in very good condition.

Many improvements since last year’s playing. Friendly and helpful staff. Very enjoyable course.

Course was in good shape, especially the greens. Winter golf, so dormant. But still quality.

We snowbird near by, so we play here a few times each winter. This was the first time this season. The course is much improved over two years ago, and measurable better than last winter. The green are smooth and consistent, the traps now have raked sand, signage is better….and the fairways are improving. They have grass in most areas. No more pure dirt spaces. However, the quality of the grass still needs significant improvement. It’s hard work, and I would guess costly, but needs to be done.
