Course Highlights
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.

Getting there, but not yet

The entire course is getting there, but still has a way to go. Driving range and putting practice area still closed, but you can see progress of renovations. The North course is still closed, and their traffic is too much for number of daily golfers. It is SLOW PLAY!! The staff is nice and atmosphere teaches some patience. I plan to try it again in a few months.

Well, at least GolfNow saved us on the greens fees.

First time I was glad a round was rained out after 11 holes. Lost more than one ball within 10-15 feet of the fairway in the very rough rough.. First three holes or so were in decent shape. From there, the rough got more overgrown, there were more bare patches in the fairway, and the tee boxes became more bare and chewed up. Greens were relatively true and the only part of the course I felt was at least consistently playable.

To be fair. the. North 9 was closed for repairs, so there is hope for the future. The course needs some TLC.

Not the Florida course I expected or hoped for.

Average course with basic layout. Needs a lot of care and money poured into it to improve it, but being owned by the city...that likely won’t happen. North 9 holes were closed for construction, but by the sounds of it their plans are to really revamp that 9.

Staff was friendly and food/drink options were plentiful and not super expansive, so that was a plus.

Would’ve liked more water or an island green or something to make you think you were playing on an island in Florida.

Not worth the money

This course needs a lot of work. Loads of tee boxes were rough, parts of the fairway was like hitting out of a bunker, and different cuts of grass haven’t been cut in what seems like awhile. The greens were the only aspect that was fairly well kept. Not worth the $50.
