North/West at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
About
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.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
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).
The greens were in very good condition
I've played here before and it was in good condition for this course. Many of the tee boxes were in need of repair but the greens were the best I've seen them.
Course was challenging
The course layout was challenging but fair. My only complaint is course conditions. Some of the fairways had bare areas, the worst being the first hole on the South course. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Fun place for a municipal
This is a fun, reasonable place for a muni course. Kudos that they are repairing the South 9, which in my opinion is better just for the variety versus the North and West’s almost straight line fairways. They do appear to book 7 minute apart Tee times and can be frustrating because it backs up the course. This last round we had to wait 30 for a cart. In my humble opinion 10-12 minutes apart would be better. I prefer walking this course and have done so many times. I’m reviewing now because they are attempting to improve its standard of play and repair some damaged areas.
Go elsewhere
No fairways to speak of, tee boxes are anything but grass, poorly maintained and the list goes on. Its conveniently located near the beach but that's about it. Not worth the money, even for residents.
COURSE PREPAREDNESS
North and West is in good shape. South needs to be shut down for renovation. If South covers to a par 3 course, I'll no longer choose to play at FBMC.
North and West Courses
The West and North Courses are better of the three. South Course is just a lost cause at this point. Overgrowth is killing that course and some parts of the West and North. If they can sell the South Course and put the money from that into the West and North then it could be a great course. Trees need to be trimmed back or removed so the fairways can get sunlight so they aren’t so bare.
