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.

Reluctant

I was concerned when no one was booking this course, the layout is good but the course needs work. Tee boxes need to be leveled and grass, fairways rock hard, greens hit and miss

The price should be lowered until the course has recovered

My biggest complaint, on the south course a group behind us hit into us several times a ranger would have helped it’s rude idiots that take away from enjoying the round

Horrible Conditions

I have frankly never seen a course in such bad shape. They had difficulty finding my reservation and then when they found it, they had trouble seeing that I had pre-paid for it.

Improvement noted!

They have definately made some improvements to the conditions. Trees trimmed, greens were much improved, fairways too. Pace was ridiculously bad. Waiting 15 min to tee off kn each can really have a negative impact. I actually gave up and went back to the clubhouse after a few holes. I can't take 6 gours to golf a round, and at that pace probably longer.

Pretty nice

Staff was great. Pace of play wasn't bad for the line up of golfers. The course was in as good of condition as could be expected considering the weather that they had. Greens were in really good condition. No cart person was a minus as it was pretty warm and could have used some beverages. Bathrooms on course were in God condition and clean. Overall it was a very enjoyable outing.

Much improved

Played south and west courses. For many years they have been neglected resulting in very poor conditions, thin grass cover, rock hard traps, inconsistent greens….. This year there has been a dramatic improvement, while far from perfect, it’s now worth playing. The greens are very good, traps have real, playable sand, and while the fairways are not lush, they have as much grass cover as other courses in the winter that do now overseed with rye grass. Definitely worth a 2nd chance.

Good local course

First time playing here this year. Tremendous improvement from last year. West course was in good shape but the South course (the better course) was far better than I expected. It had been neglected in the past but now it shows that it has been greatly improved.

Very enjoyable round of golf with enough challenges to test your game.

Not much maintenance going on

Duck poop on the greens. Leaves everywhere. Some bare spots on fairways. But fun course. Great for beginners. Unfortunately they didn’t have a starter so tee times ment very little. We were stacked up behind these folks that we should have been paired with. Very slow 18.

Never again

Staff in pro shop were nice. Starter was grumpy. There was a tournament with 58 players out In front of us. We were given a different course combination to help cope with this, but it didnt really help. We caught up with the 6 ball, yes I did mean six ball, of the last group in the tournament after 6 holes. When we finally made it to the turn there were 4 carts lined up, so we tried a different 9. Sadly this was following the 6 ball. 1 hour later and 3 holes we called it quits. The greens were good, the fairways poor. The worst experience we have had in Amelia island.
