South/North at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
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.

Poor Maintenance
This course could be so much more if it was maintained properly, even on the North which was redone recently. Let's start with the Tee boxes - sad, very sad, dirt, very little grass, some aren't even very flat, (almost convex). The tee markers are haphazardly placed. Some greens are OK, some have very little grass, some have huge circles of deterioration. Some fairways are OK, and playable, but a lot are in terrible condition. Hit a great drive and to find your ball sitting in dirt - not good.
Wouldn't Refund or Give Rain Check
I was unable to make the tee time, and they were unwilling to refund or give me a rain check, and I was unable to cancel through the app. Will most likely never attempt to play here again. Very greedy and cheap of them
Hot Spring Day
Nice course amenities and great staff customer service. The course was in poor shape from tee to green. Not very crowded so moved along quickly.
Needs some TLC.
Good course
All the greens were in great shape however the West course we’re about 3 points faster than the greens on the North course! Some tee boxes and fairways lacked grass and produced extremely tight lies!
The lady that checked us in was just fantastic. I told the Head Pro and he said that she had been there for several years. Please keep her!
Fernandina Beach public golf course
My favorite course in North East Florida highly recommend
Horrible Golf Course conditions and Serious Lack of Staff
It has been a year + since last playing Fernandina Beach GC so we were familiar with the golf course. Apparently labor shortages are having a significant negative impact. Only the North and West 9 holes are used. Prior to today, the West and South 9 were in play for Golf Now players. The North course is very sad with weeds throughout the fairways, around tee boxes and greens. Practically zero grass of any variety on fairways, clipped weeds and uneven surface were the norm. I was amazed at a line of weeds several inches tall along the edge of a green side bunker. The West course fairs much better in upkeep. No Starter, no course supervision or Player Assistant. Result; two fathers with two young teens absolutely indifferent to any golf etiquette caused a backup where the FIVE groups behind them backed up. We were the fourth group waiting. At the turn going from North to West, We played just two very slow play holes, then a shortened par 5 to a par 3 due to car show exhibits being removed, the next hole and then quit after continued back-up delay. To cap off this experience? We drove 52 miles each way, 104 miles round trip, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to play golf. Thank you Fernandina.
The Course Needs Some TLC
A great public course on an island that is only getting more crowded. This course has great potential but is in need of some maintenance work, especially around the greens.
Good Value for the Money, decent course.
Enjoyable course for the cost. Very inexpensive compared to other courses.
Worth a try if you have never been there.
Very limited Clubhouse amenities.
Great Value.
I think some of the negative reviews are too harsh. Yes some of the fairways have rough spots and one of the 18 greens we played was in poor shape, but overall the course was in great shape. Green fairways smooth greens and beautiful views. We paid $40 with a cart for 18. The course was not crowded and the staff friendly and welcoming. If you wanna be a snotty golfer who demands Augusta National greens then go play somewhere else.
Condition
The greens were awful. Brown and hard. The Course and a green had wheels chemical tracks.
