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.

Horrible T boxes

Most T boxes had little to no grass on them . 1 in particular had zero grass. It was like hitting a driver out of a bunker. I’d play this course for 10-15 dollars just to get some swings in but thats about it. There’s maybe 1 or 2 holes that are decent.

Fairways are ok, I’ve seen worse.

Nice layout needs help

Poorly maintained public course with good infrastructure needs lots of TLC. Fairways have limited playable grass. Traps are hard-packed with little sand. Greens are decent.

Staff was friendly and clubhouse is inviting.

I do like playing the course but there are many bare spots. Would be nice to have a little more grass.

Improving as the spring rains begin.

Greens were improved compared to a couple of months ago. Tee boxes need some attention.

Great layout and long challenging holes. Not bad for a municipal course,

Horrendous conditions

Absolutely the worst condition I've ever seen. Spend a few extra dollars and play somewhere else. I wouldn't play again if it was free.

Poor planning

There are 3, 9 hole courses. I paid for 18 holes. There was no ranger and pace was atrociously slow. Worst part was of the 3 nines, one was being loaned to a car show and two of the holes were “converted” to par 3s. This all the while a perfectly good 9 holes was closed. After 2 1/2 hrs and 9 holes, I left. Pitiful

Ok for the price

I probably played it in the worst time of year. The Bermuda grass fairways were brown with lots of dead areas. The greens were brown but rolled true and were very fast.

Not a serious golfers course

This course is the definition of a muni!!! Some tee boxes have NO grass. Fairways were bare and dry. Greens were bad. It’s a shame the south course has a challenging layout but just terrible conditions. This is a BEFINNERS course only or if your just messing around and drinking the whole time.

First time and probably last if improvements not made

First let me say it’s mid February and I understand conditions are not in peak season. That said tee boxes are virtually all sand. Fairways are extremely spotty and bare and not much grass at all. I thought high 40’s was way to much of a price for conditioning of golf course. I will say the gentleman in the pro shop was VERY friendly and helpful with where everything was and directions of each sides tee box was located. This could be a very nice course but not as it is today. An EXTENDED work over is MUCH needed and soon. Hopefully money will be spent to improve here quickly. I recommend staying away until improvements are made. Up to you but if you go now I believe you will be disappointed with conditions at surrounding courses being much better. I understand these courses charge more but high 40’s for here - now - is not worth it. Best of luck if you choose to give it a chance. Layout is fine but conditions are not. God Bless.

2 stars, adding a track machine for your driving range? How about maintaining the grounds, poor greens, tees and fairways….

Shot players course. 27 holes available for play.

South course is a shot players course. You need to know where to hit the ball and make it happen. North and West course are a little more open and play long. Get ready to practice your big irons. Overall a nice course to visit while on the island.
