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.

Nice greens for a great price!

I think for the cost this is a great course and would definitely recommend to friends or beginners. The course is fairly open, with the exception of having some narrow gaps to shoot through from the tee box due to the size of some of the trees. The greens were in excellent condition and had some complexity to them. Nicer fairways and tee boxes would have easily made this a 5 star review!

Surprisingly bad

I have been playing this course on and off for a few years and I was really surprised at the current poor conditions of the fairways. The West course was closed for over a year to re-condition it and now it is in as bad of shape as ever. Hopefully the will get it together this has the potential to be a really nice track. :-(

Good course, needs maintenance

Good course, but overgrown trees make narrow fairways even more narrow. Some par 4’s should be 5’s just based on a large branch blocking tee box to the fairway. Also grass needs serious work. Lots of bare ground.

Get what you pay for

Course was in better shape than it was last time I played 4-5 months ago. With that being said, dont expect immaculate fairways and/or greens and such. But for the price the course was in good shape. We were told that course was busy when we teed off, but had hardly no wait anywhere on course, especially on our 2nd 9.

The fairways are sand with a scattering of grass. The practice range has mats. The sand traps are hard mud. There was little water available on the course. The restroom light was so dim I could barely see.

There was no one patrolling the course to tell the people who had no course etiquette to speed up or let people behind them play through. We waited on each hole for quite awhile and there was at least one open hole in front of the ones in front of us. The player behind us finally went around to cut in front of the slow men but and single player stayed and sat as long as we.

The staff, woman and man in golf shop and the starter were all really nice. Nice golf shop and looked to be a nice little bar and restaurant. Nice locker room too.

Disappointed

My son and I planned to play 18 holes. We were on vacation and also rented clubs. We quit after 9. The course was in rough shape. Fairways in bad condition and greens were in consistent. Same situation with rough. I noticed my rentals did not include a wedge while on the course. I should have checked before I started the round !

Would not recommend playing there again.

Needs Course Care

The course is in bad shape. Tee boxes were mostly dirt, fairways were spotty at best, primary rough was horrible and balls were very difficult to find, the greens were also spotty and it appeared that they were punched a few weeks ago and not grown in well at all. Having said that the entire course staff (Pro-Shop, Starter, Restaurant) very professional, friendly and helpful

Needs some attention

The greens were in good shape, however, even with the abundant rain in the last 4-6 weeks the fairways are sparse, many of the tee boxes were not more than sand and dirt. Some holes are unfairly tight on the South course.. ridiculously so!!

Nice Course

We played this course twice while staying on the Island. Nice course and an even better price. Get out early to beat the crowds. Great new practice facility. Will definitely be back.

Fun round of golf

I was pleasantly surprised! I assume like most municipal courses that money is tight. From what I saw and experienced this staff is getting the most out of what money it receives. Not in perfect condition but very, very playable with no major issues. I think most golfers would enjoy a round here.

greens are in good shape, but tees and fairways not

every hole had 2 groups waiting on boxes while a group was in fairway and another on the green. and they wouldn't open up the south course. waited 45 minutes to tee off at the turn. greens were in great shape. but tee boxes and fairways were full of weeds and looked bad.

that being said it was still a nice play for the money.

after we checked out the toptracer driving range.

I could have spent the day in there. wow that alone is worth the money and the time.
