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.

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.

Course has potential

This could be a very nice course,

This course is poorly maintained,

Grass is sparse on fairway’s, rough is just weeds

Greens are poor also,

This could be a great asset for the city, but they mismanage this course terribly,

You need to have grass on a golf course, not weeds

Would love to see it managed properly
