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.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
The rough is too tall.
Challenging course but the rough coupled with all the trees make it a hard course to enjoy.
We appreciate your honest feedback. To help protect the course, we need to adjust the level of our rough and we apologize that you caught it at that time. We hope that you come back to enjoy us soon.
Course is in sad shape
Love the layout of this course but they have apparently let if go down hill a little. Greens are in nice shape and fairways were hit or miss. They just need a complete makeover for such a nice piece of property.
We appreciate your feedback and want to thank you for your review! Come back and visit us again soon.
Public course in a sea of private courses
The staff was great. Very informative and friendly.
The practice range was in terrible shape.
We moved over to the practice green, only to find out the greens had been recently punched. (No warnings)
We moved to the first tee, and the tee boxes were in poor condition. All tee boxes were like this.
Of course, the rest of the tee boxes were like this.
The rough was thick, so stay in the fairway.
The weeds along the cart path were tall, so watch your step.
This could be a really nice course if the city would let the course keep some of the money, for the maintenance of the course.
Thank you for your feedback, John. We take your opinion seriously, and are working everyday to improve the customer experience. If you have any other comments or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at info@fernandinabeachgolfclub.com
Good time
Greens had been aerated recently, so putting was a challenge. Great course if you bring along a beginner and/or want to work on your game a little. No one pushing/rushing you. Great price for a simple round of golf. FRIENDLY STAFF. Very welcoming and helpful.
Thanks for your review. We appreciate your commentary and are so glad that you found value in playing our course. Hope to see you back again soon.
Course needs some TLC. Fairly Easy play for inexperienced golfers. Good price.
Thanks for your review and commentary. We are working every day to improve our course conditions. We're glad you had an enjoyable experience with us and hope to see you back again soon.
challenging
Very challenging course lots of trees must place your shots
Target golf I will play again next time I am in the area must play
We're glad you will be coming back to play golf on our course again. Thanks for your feedback and review.
Thank you for your review! We hope to see you again sometime soon.
Very challenging
Couple greens need some work but they were lightning fast. Very narrow on a lot of holes. Lots of doglegs and all about position off the tee. Not a course for high handicappers. Great value and beautiful layout. Had fun but took a beating!
Thanks for your review, Justin. We appreciate your your feedback and hope to see you again soon!
South 9 holes rough
West 9 was in over all good condition
Thanks for your review. We value your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. This course is 3 different 9 hole courses put together. The course was in pretty good shape, a few greens had some rough spots on them, but fairways and tee boxes were if pretty good shape for February. Did have to fix a lot of ball marks, dont guess the members or locals are too worried about the greens. Rate of play seemed a little slow but still able to get off the course in 4 hrs. Overall a good course for the price
Thanks for your review. We are so glad our staff met your expectations. Hope to see you again soon!
Solid family course
5 sets of tees allows for all members of family to play Green were solid Pace of play was slow but normal for public golf 4.5 hrs Very flat easy to walk but some durable from green to next tee box overall a fun experience
Thanks for your review. We value your feedback and are glad you had a fun experience. Hope to see you back again soon!
west nine ok. south just goofy
west nine pretty playable with rough 2 to 21/2 inches. penal but you could find it. greens decent. mostly smooth with a few bumpy spots. fairways parched and thin. south nine goofy with rough 4 to 12 inches (i measured a couple spots). fairways ample but miss by a yard and tee a provisional. you won't find 1st ball. i was in middle of several fairways (and left side of one tee box) less than 160 to hole with no shot. trees blocking what looked like a fine tee shot from tee. left after 5 holes and 4 lost balls. just wasn't fun to try to hit from the fairway over trees to blocked greens. dye or hills would be proud.
Rough
Course is in very rough shape. Weeds all over the greens, and a lot of tee boxes were mostly sand.
north and west are pretty easy and forgiving. fairways are parched & thin. rough is 3 or more inches and inconsistant thickness. greens were just ok. some smooth some a bit bumpy. south nine is just goofy. hills or dye would be proud. rough was 4 to 12 inches. i lost four balls in four holes and quit. 3 just off the fairway. found a 5th ball when i stepped on it. laid up to 155 on 2nd hole. middle of fairway. had no shot around a more than 90 degree dogleg. hit a wedge over trees at corner but never found the ball in rough i measured at 12 inches. can't recommend it.
Bumpy greens
South course has a very interesting layout but fairways and approaches were in poor shape. Sad. West Course has fairways in much better condition; layout is longer, wide open and a bit uninspired. Greens on both 9s may be the worse I have ever played. They were bumpy and sparse, as if they had been plugged and not recovered. Very few golfers on course, so pace of play was great.
Not impressed
Greens were in very good shape but fairway rough was just that (rough). Some grass had not been cut in a good while. Driving range was closed due to recent rains. No cart service offered during the weekend. Gas powered carts were very slow.The west course is open and fairly easy to play. The south course has much tighter fairways but had shade which was nice for the 90+ degree day.
Fernandina golf club
The course was in very bad condition and greens were terrible. Would not play again without going to look at first
