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.

Not worth the money

Fairways were in horrible condition. Hard bare. Tee boxes were not raked care if. No grass in most of them. Greens were marginal. Appears no one cares about the upkeep. Felt like my money was wasted. My friend from out of town played and said terrible condition. Can get better deals locally for same money and nicer course.

The rough is too tall.

Challenging course but the rough coupled with all the trees make it a hard course to enjoy.

Course is in sad shape

Love the layout of this course but they have apparently let if go down hill a little. Greens are in nice shape and fairways were hit or miss. They just need a complete makeover for such a nice piece of property.

Public course in a sea of private courses

The staff was great. Very informative and friendly.

The practice range was in terrible shape.

We moved over to the practice green, only to find out the greens had been recently punched. (No warnings)

We moved to the first tee, and the tee boxes were in poor condition. All tee boxes were like this.

Of course, the rest of the tee boxes were like this.

The rough was thick, so stay in the fairway.

The weeds along the cart path were tall, so watch your step.

This could be a really nice course if the city would let the course keep some of the money, for the maintenance of the course.

Good time

Greens had been aerated recently, so putting was a challenge. Great course if you bring along a beginner and/or want to work on your game a little. No one pushing/rushing you. Great price for a simple round of golf. FRIENDLY STAFF. Very welcoming and helpful.

Very challenging

Couple greens need some work but they were lightning fast. Very narrow on a lot of holes. Lots of doglegs and all about position off the tee. Not a course for high handicappers. Great value and beautiful layout. Had fun but took a beating!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. This course is 3 different 9 hole courses put together. The course was in pretty good shape, a few greens had some rough spots on them, but fairways and tee boxes were if pretty good shape for February. Did have to fix a lot of ball marks, dont guess the members or locals are too worried about the greens. Rate of play seemed a little slow but still able to get off the course in 4 hrs. Overall a good course for the price

west nine ok. south just goofy

west nine pretty playable with rough 2 to 21/2 inches. penal but you could find it. greens decent. mostly smooth with a few bumpy spots. fairways parched and thin. south nine goofy with rough 4 to 12 inches (i measured a couple spots). fairways ample but miss by a yard and tee a provisional. you won't find 1st ball. i was in middle of several fairways (and left side of one tee box) less than 160 to hole with no shot. trees blocking what looked like a fine tee shot from tee. left after 5 holes and 4 lost balls. just wasn't fun to try to hit from the fairway over trees to blocked greens. dye or hills would be proud.

north and west are pretty easy and forgiving. fairways are parched & thin. rough is 3 or more inches and inconsistant thickness. greens were just ok. some smooth some a bit bumpy. south nine is just goofy. hills or dye would be proud. rough was 4 to 12 inches. i lost four balls in four holes and quit. 3 just off the fairway. found a 5th ball when i stepped on it. laid up to 155 on 2nd hole. middle of fairway. had no shot around a more than 90 degree dogleg. hit a wedge over trees at corner but never found the ball in rough i measured at 12 inches. can't recommend it.
