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.

Great course

We had a great time playing this course. West was long but straight. North was a bit shorter but with many doglegs. I played off the white tees and had a challenge reaching the greens in regulation. Great course for the price!

Tolerated not welcomed

I have played a lot courses with Golfnow. Many are not happy with the discounts they need to give to participate in this program but generally do a good job accommodating their customers. Here they treat you like the evil stepchild in Cinderella. This course is convenient if staying on Amelia Island but that is about all I can say about it.

Not friendly

We traveled from St. Augustine to go to this club we had a child with us 6 years old who we are teaching to play. When we got to the club they were not nice at the desk. They had overbooked TeeTimes and looking for an excuse to not occomodate us. We booked on golf Now and they were not friendly with that, as we were not one of their locals. Definitely not kid friendly. We will not go back to that course. A few minutes away in Jacksonville was a nice course . They were accommodating with last minute players, and with kids. The course was great.

It's January!

Fun to play this early in the year. This muni course is ok for an early round. Long par 5s. Greens were ragged but that is to be expected. Fairways were fine. Good value.

Bad time at Fernandina Beach GC

Mike the manager was rude checking us in. He made us wait 25 minutes when there was hardly anyone else on the course too check us out for the twilight rate. His interaction with the public was very poor.

We played 9 holes and no one told us we were not able to play the second 9 under their policy. Mike proceeded to race onto the course and embarrass me by telling us we could not play any additional holes.

Course in good shape though, Mike ruined it for us. Unfortunately Fernandina Beach GC will not be at the top of my list to revisit. Their management needs to know.

Bang for your buck

This course had challenging but fair holes. Was well maintained with very friendly staff.

Negatives..very flat and some repetitive holes.

Could use some "color" around tee boxes.

Otherwise, very good course for the money.

Not recommended

Price was reasonable on GolfNow. Course was not maintained, for what part is concrete it has pot holes on the cart path and much of the path is not paved. Very bumpy ride throughout

Packed with men's group, snails pace of play

I booked a hot deal and it was not very hot! They had a men's group shotgun on the entire course go off right ahead of me. Beware, this men's group apparently goes ~noon every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I joined up with another group behind me and we waited on every shot for over 5 Hours. The course is packed because it's cheap. It's not well maintained, a lot of places not mowed. I played the back tees and on two holes there were no tee markers so I just played at the blue marks where they should've been. It looked like there was some work being done and temporary tees and tee markers were in other places. On two of the greens there were holes cut into the slope of the hill making it impossible to stop the ball from above the hole. Not a recommended hike location according to the USGA.

South course is a “rat-hole”

The South course was in terrible shape. The fairways were barren in many area and tee boxes were not level and many had weeds growing on them. The west course was in great shape. The club doesn’t care about pace of play. Too many geriatric walkers who don’t care how many balls they hit with stacks of groups on the tee boxes. It will probably be another 10 years before I play there again

Bunkers and staff...

I enjoy the course but the staff is very rude every time we go out there. We know it’s more of an older crowd and my group is 30-40 year olds. So we can’t tell if we are frowned upon there bc the staff is old as well. We have been there a handful of times and never a good time with the staff. Outside of that, we like the course. I will say that the bunkers are the worst from Camden county to St. John’s county.
