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.

Ok
Fairways are good. Greens are great. Teeboxes are mostly poor.
Affordable and fun
This local municipal golf course is fun to play with affordable pricing. If only more attention was given to the fairways, this might be a wonderful course to take friends and family.
Fernandina Beach GC, Amelia Island FL
Reasonably good greens. Fairways are, generally, thin...bare in many spots. Lots a trees. A chainsaw would be the ideal 14th club. Many bare to totally bare tee boxes.
A very friendly place, though. They seem to be very happy to welcome a person to the course. I do not always feel that way at many courses It is what it is. I have had a nice time every time I have played here. Everyplace else in the area is $30 - $70, possibly more, per round.
Good value
Price was good, the staff was friendly but was a bit disappointed. The fairways were good, as were the greens. However, if you got off the fairway they were in very rugged shape. In addition, the tee boxes left a lot to be desired. Especially the ladies tees. We played the West course nine and the South course nine.
Great Quick round on a perfect October day.
Teed off at 11:00 as a twosome. Tallied up the scores at 2:00.
The white tees were challenging with the long par 5s and changing ocean wind directions.
Great layout. Course could use some spot trimming around the perimeters to spruce it up a bit.
The front nine (north course) was in excellent shape. The back nine (south course) could use some attention but was still on par with most of the courses I’m used to playing. Would definitely play here again.
Golf course condition
I live in Atlanta and own property in Fernandina Beach. I have played this course for 21 years, and the condition of the golf course is the worst I have ever seen it. I don't know what the problem is with course maintenance, but improvements need to be made asap ie very sparse fairways, only one inch of sand in bunkers, no grass on several tees and bare spots on greens.. The three courses have a great layout, but need to be maintained properly. I am not sure I will play here again.
Rough and Rutty
Greens fast but good shape
Sand traps had sand
Fairways and side walks in bad shape
Nasty rough
Great value, tough conditions.
Challenging track, nice layout, just needs to be better maintained. Rough tee boxes and some fairways but greens were ok.
Nice greens for a great price!
I think for the cost this is a great course and would definitely recommend to friends or beginners. The course is fairly open, with the exception of having some narrow gaps to shoot through from the tee box due to the size of some of the trees. The greens were in excellent condition and had some complexity to them. Nicer fairways and tee boxes would have easily made this a 5 star review!
Surprisingly bad
I have been playing this course on and off for a few years and I was really surprised at the current poor conditions of the fairways. The West course was closed for over a year to re-condition it and now it is in as bad of shape as ever. Hopefully the will get it together this has the potential to be a really nice track. :-(
Good course, needs maintenance
Good course, but overgrown trees make narrow fairways even more narrow. Some par 4’s should be 5’s just based on a large branch blocking tee box to the fairway. Also grass needs serious work. Lots of bare ground.
