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.

Nice place to play

Had a nice round at the West/South course. It was very wet due to all the rains and the fairways could be improved, but we enjoyed our round and the price was right. I would go back and play there.

FBGC going in the right direction.

I played all 3 nines. Why you say because i'm a golf nut.
Let's start with the recently reopened West course. It was in excellent shape. New greens rolled true. Fairways were in good shape. South course greens rolled true as well. Fairways were okay. This nine is bit lower and all the rain has kept mowing held back i think. North course greens were poor especially #1. I'm sure new greens are in order for this nine. There has been heavy rain everywhere which hampers course maintenance. That being said it was enjoyable and i see it only getting better.

Better than fair.

Starter was very friendly and provided helpful information about course condition. Overall fairways were in good condition and greens excellent. Tee boxes could use attention...i.e. hard to find a level spot. Overall, very good experience.

Very good for a public course.

North course greens a little slow but south course greens are very fast. North course is easier than south.

Course continues to improve.

I have played this course every summer for the last three years. It has gotten a little better every year. They have new greens on the South course which were really nice. The North course greens were not bad, but not as nice as the South course. The west course was closed because they are re-doing those greens. Some of the tee boxes were a little bare. Overall, I was very pleased with the course and it is only getting better.

Hot Day on the course

Greens in excellent shape. Fairway sparse in some areas, dry conditions though. Pace of play was a little slow but they have the west course shutdown for maintenance. No chipping or putting greens, also closed for maintenance. Water in the coolers had bad taste, bring your own. Did see the cart girl about 3 times during the round. Overall good course and good deal for golf, range balls and lunch.

Bad condition

The greens were in great shape. I wish I could say the same for the rest of the course. Fairways were muddy and patchy, sand was matted down despite great weather. Friendly staff, but the facilities need a major upgrade.

"hot deal" was a super value

The greens are coming through the winter in great shape and there was plenty of fresh sand in the sand traps (which I frequented often). Everyone was friendly and the "hot deal" was a super value.
