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 in best shape

Considering how much rain the Fernandina area has been receiving lately, I would have assumed the course would have been a much better shape. Wasn't that it was too wet, it was too dry. The fairways were sparse., the rough was thin, the greens were slow and played like putting on velcro. The rate advertised on golf now was $38, by the time you add fees and everything else it was $45.50 each player. It's my understanding they charge $60 for the general public. Way overpriced. Six pack of beer was $33. With tip 40 bucks. Ridiculous for a city course that's taxpayer-funded. Gouging the tourists. I'm a local. I didn't expect this.

Great shape

I was told by an employee I spoke to that 5 years ago the course was in very bad shape, but went out to find beautiful greens and decent fairways now. You can tell a lot of care is in it. I definitely recommend giving it a play.

Good Conditions, horrible pace

Course was in good shape but no starter and no rangers led to a sloooooow day. There was a couple in front of me, they played on pace and were also frustrated, but the foursome in front of them played extremely slow and it looked like a they had a slow group in front of them. Very slow front nine was extremely frustrating and was only able to play 15 holes overall bc I ran out of time. Very disappointing

Water coolers needed

The course needs to have ice water coolers for players to have drinkable water during the round. Great price for a round of golf.

Water coolers needed

I’ve never played golf on a course in August that did not have a single water canister on the whole course. It’s 95 degrees and sunny and there is no water available for golfers to drink to stay hydrated. Having water available would make the round more enjoyable. I liked the course overall.

Very impressive

The course was in beautiful condition. The fairway grass was a bit long but playable. Early on, hole number three sprinkler was malfunctioning and completely drenched the green(underwater) and the surrounding traps. Had to call the general manager to get it shut off. Other than that we had a wonderful time and will definitely play there again. CB
