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.

Golf course???

Is this really a golf course? The West course was ok at best. The South course was in horrible shape. There several holes with little to no grass at all.

If I had the choice to play here or nowhere at all, I would choose not to play.

Tale of two nines

We played the South 9 first, and it is in very bad shape. More bare ground and mud than winter kill grass. It is January, so there was no expectation that conditions would be lush, it was no good. To compound this, the pace of play was very slow. We made the turn and started on the West 9, and it was like we entered a new world. Conditions were very good, given it is January in north Florida, and everyone else in front of us must have only played 9 holes, as we had the course to ourselves. Looking over at the North 9, it looked similar to the West 9, both in terms of conditions and number of players. So, if you going to play, it would pay to know what series of nines you will be assigned to play.

Horrendous Conditions

There was no practice range, the turf conditions from tee to green are the worse I’ve experienced anywhere. The cart path had large chunks of asphalt missing every few feet. Signage was missing. Folks in the ProShop were very nice and friendly.

Given those conditions, it was way overpriced despite being the cheapest course on the Island.

Horrible service

No range, no tee times, no toppings for hotdogs, one 9 closed, waited 20 min behind 4 groups of singles and doubles! Get a starter and make people golf together instead of saying all tee times are booked! The pro or golf club manager is extremely rude and acted like he didn’t care what you thought. You should listen to your customers and not talk when they are giving you advice! Fairways and rough are horrible and the greens are way too fast for a city course.

This could be a really nice place but you gotta treat your paying customers with respect! I’d much rather drive to ga and play on the navy base where everything works and is available to use!

Nice winter treat

Bright sunny day with a bit of chill. Nice smooth round 3.5 hours. Greens were fast but got a tip from grounds crew to watch for speed.
