Rating 71.8

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.

Take a PASS

In my 40+ years of playing this game I have never come across a golf course in worse condition. In such a warm climate one would naturally question how the grass could be so thin as to cause u to roll your ball to find a thin patch of grass. The first cut of rough was a continuous mat of overlapping weeds that resemble miniature "Lilly pads". Not being from this area I could not identify this weed but it has no purpose of being on a golf course. Why would the owners not keep this golf course in better conditions commensurate to the upscale resort area is the question you have to ask. Horrible.

Reasonable value, but rough condition

Nice course in beautiful setting. Greens were OK but the fairways were in tough shape in some areas. Cart path needs extensive work..

Unbelievably Bad

Why is a golf course in the warm climate of Florida in such bad condition? I simply do not understand. This has to be the worst condition of a golf course that I have personally experienced in my forty+ years of playing. If I had not pre paid for my round in advance I would have quit after 5 holes and asked for a refund. I really hate to bad mouth anybody or anything but conditions were so horrible that I feel it is my responsibility to alert folks who are spending their vacation on Amelia Island to pass on this golf course. Sorry but the owners need to do something.

Horrendous

I’ve played this course course multiple times and plenty of other courses around a 60 mile radius. Not sure what has happened in the past year, but this course has extremely suffered from the lack of proper management. The course was in horrible condition and the pace of play was managed poorly as well. There was a 7some holding up the entire course and they didn’t let anyone pass. A couple people behind us even quit. The layout is great, but it needs some serious investment as it’s starting to become more of an eye sore.

First time

Course was ok and greens showed winter wear. Warmer weather would help the grass a lot. Convenient to our rental house. Would play it again

Course needs work

Nice, flat layout, but Course is suffering from neglect. .Numerous fairway areas were without grass or roped off. I doubt I'll play this course again.

Needs attention

The South course should be closed, trees removed and reseeded before it is reopened. There are 3 or 4 holes where they have roped off the fairways to cart traffic and are attempting to grow grass. The grass is not growing, and until it does grow and fill in, these holes are all but unplayable. It would be better to close this 9, and work to get it fully rehabbed and ready for real play.

Poor course conditions

I understand it is January but the fairways were in very poor condition.

The greens were decent speed but clumps of new grass sprouting made putts of less than 10’ very difficult.

Sand traps were consistent and well maintained.

Note: I rarely submit reviews. I was quite disappointed.

Improving

This is a muni, so you should set your expectations accordingly. While conditions are not great, they are improving. The south course was awful, has started to show signs of improvement. There is a long way to go, but it is encouraging to see that there is finally some effort being put forth. This 9 has a great layout, but years of neglect will take years of work to bring it up to par (sorry for the pun).
