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.

Great course

Had a lot of fun playing his course. Great challenge without too much penalty for bad shots. Trees are in line of a couple drives that make it tough to drive the ball. Overall a great course and will definitely be back.

Decent value

Course is in ok shape. Fairways and greens could definitely be better. One thing we noticed was that the greens from the West course were at least twice as fast as the North course. Took a few holes to get used to it. Overall, we had fun and it is a good value. Will definitely play again.

Work needs to be done

The greens on the west course were deplorable. The layout of the west course was excellent the greens on the north course were very good but the waiting for all the people who were walking in the lack of management of keeping group separated on the turn caused the plate to be much longer than expected

Don't waste your.money!

Very poor condition. Greens & tees need LOTS of work. Fairways were full of weeds. If not for the nice employees it wouldn't deserve a rating. Even with the discounted rate it was way over priced for conditions.

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!
