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.

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.

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.

This course has been transformed. 2 years ago, it was not in good shape. All the greens are very putt-able and the turf on the remainder is in very good shape.

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.

Better than I expected

Played the south - North combination, the Greens on the south were in fact the best I played during my golf vacation, the North greens were also good but the south greens were more recently maintained.

Greens true and fast

Booked the round on GolfNow for $29 - great value. I'm a a Long time Fernandina resident and have been disappointed how the courses were let go but it appears they're heading in the right direction.

Getting Better

First time back in 2 years and was happy to see the progress all around the course. Some areas had been opened up around the greens and in other dense areas to make the course more Park-like. Fairways and Tee boxes were in good shape. Greens were true and extremely fast due to no over-seeding. The South Course was very nice with all the changes. Pace of play was excellent even on a holiday. Would recommend to all levels.

Great Value

My wife and I (28 & !8 hcp respectively) play a lot of golf. This operation was a very nice surprise. The facilities are clean, in good repair, and well cared for. The course was in good shape considering it was mid February. Greens were excellent. Fairways were overseeded. We played in 3 hours. We both considered that we got our money's worth - and then some.

Rough around the edges

Greens on The south course are as good as any I have played . Unfortunately ,I have a hard time saying anything else positive . The starter was in a panic and behind as they have never had as many people on a Thurs . Gas carts are brutal for noise . The fairways are over seeded and pretty good but anywhere off the fairway is basically dirt .--- guess it is winter and probably should expect the conditions we experienced . They are redoing the greens on the west course and if they turn out as good as the south , it will be great . On the west course the holes are very repetitive and you get the feeling you had already played the hole you were on . Many of the tees are dirt and winter weeds .i think the price is attractive but that is about it .
