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.

Course wasn't in good condition.

The greens weren't good at all. They were aerated and balls were bouncing everywhere. Overall course condition wasn't good at all.

Making improvements daily. Great lay out.

Some of the greens have patches and some are perfect. The fairways are a little above average. Traps nicely maintained. The course has been cleaned up and some new tee boxes instaled. They are tring very hard to make this course a great one.

Very poor condition.

The course is not worth paying money to play. The fairway green is as tall as some other course's 2nd rough with patchy dead spot. Green is bumpy. We paid $25 for 18 in the morning. I would recommend pay a bit more at nearby excellent course, Golf Club at North Hampton.

Sad conditions

I have been visiting FL & playing this course for about 30 years. I have never seen it in this poor condition. About a third of the greens are so damaged as to be unplayable. Fairways are ragged.
Who's (not) running this course? What happened?

This course is need of some TLC. I might as well played in a pasture.

I have played this course in the past and found it to be decent. It has 27 holes. I played the South and the West courses and the greens were far from green, the fairways were more like the rough and the rough, well it was really rough. I should have known something was wrong when I saw the two truck loads of sod in the parking lot. The good news is it appears they recognize the problem and had plenty of staff working on the course laying sod and sanding the greens, but unfortunately that was being done during my game.

Goat track

The staff is wonderful. The course is terrible. The fairways and greens are for the most part in abysmal condition. The course needs a lot of work. There are better options for your golfing dollar.

Last resort

The course is in rough shape. Greens are horrible. Very bumpy with a mixture of different grasses. Tee boxes are bad. Trees have overtaken many of the fairways. Got to be straight down the the middle or you're punch shooting all day. Carts are decent though, I believe they were purchased last year. I play this course only when I cannot get on my regular courses.

Good public golf course for North Florida.

This golf course has recently spent time clearing areas all over the course to make it more playable and golfer friendly and has added new carts as well as being an overall good value for the money.

Course was in good shape for a municipal course. Value for the play was great. We will definately be back and will play the South Course next time.

We played in 4 hours and it was a good afternoon for the value. We will definately be back to play the South nine as we played the North and West this past weekend.

Below average municipal course

The tee boxes were very uneven. The greens have severe burned spots.
The sand traps were shallow with sand - hitting solid dirt just under the surface.
For $10.00 less - it woujld have been decent value.
The club house was nicely supplied and the restrauant had a good menu. Wish they had coke products.
Carts paths were in bad shape - causing above average wear and tear on carts.

Needs maintenance attention to tees, greens, and bunkers.

This course includes three nine-hole layouts: North (shortest), West (long), and South (narrower, tree lined). All are pretty flat; it is an understatement to say the course is not lush. The hole layouts are undistinguished with a handful of exceptions. Dig outs for ponds near completion may help enhance the course's visual appeal. The condition of the course varies during the year but it is never excellent and some areas of the fairways can be sparse most of the time. Many tees are in serious disrepair. Greens are quite slow and at times even shaggy. Mostly it is dirt not sand one finds in the bunkers. The ground around some greens may be loose and spongy making crisp approach shots more difficult. A municipal course with a fee structure that seems high given the facility quality, it nonetheless draws many people to play including locals. Play is moderately fast. Generally speaking, the staff is friendly and helpful although there are exceptions. There are two public courses on Amelia Island and this is not currently the better one.
