Fernandina Beach Golf Club is home to three distinct nines, the North, South, and West that make up three different 18-hole combinations. This 27-hole facility boasts a unique configuration on each of the nines for a truly diverse golfing experience. The North/West course at Fernandina Beach Golf Club combines the longest nine, the West, and the shortest nine, the North. The North nine features undulating greens and water hazards but the generous, wide-open fairways of the West nine make the golf course accessible to players of all skill levels. Native foliage in addition to towering oaks and pines throughout the course allow for a scenic escape in addition to an excellent round.

Worth a try

Green and traps were consistent and very playable. The fairways and tees need to improve.( Unfortunately we were behind 3 young guys trying to match the beer count with the hole count. As a result play was slow. This is not the fault of the course. )

Ok golf, but pricey

With public golf options becoming more limited on Amelia, the course has apparently upped its fees. The fees no longer justify the experience. Everything is pretty average for a municipal course, making the $80 greens fee pretty steep.pace of play was great, as the course was far from full, even though the weather was wonderful. There’s a message there. It’s less expensive to travel inland just a bit, and to courses are better.

I would like to play the course in spring or fall, with good grass coverage. But would not recommend playing it in winter.

Nice muni. Pace was a little slow. Gold tees don't get much so some holes were pretty long. I'll play it with Golf Now or Tee Off hot deals but not full price.

Easy value

We winter close to the course, so it’s an easy decision to play there. Like all the courses in this area that are not very premium priced or totally private, the grass is dormant and brown. If you can’t get past that, you’ll need to be significantly south or pay very high greens fees. Played north and south nines. They are very different in character. North is typical muni. South is a former private course, so it has more interesting features. Both have large greens in very good condition.

Improving

We snowbird near by, so we play here a few times each winter. This was the first time this season. The course is much improved over two years ago, and measurable better than last winter. The green are smooth and consistent, the traps now have raked sand, signage is better….and the fairways are improving. They have grass in most areas. No more pure dirt spaces. However, the quality of the grass still needs significant improvement. It’s hard work, and I would guess costly, but needs to be done.
