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.

Improving

We snowbird near by, so we play here a few times each winter. This was the first time this season. The course is much improved over two years ago, and measurable better than last winter. The green are smooth and consistent, the traps now have raked sand, signage is better….and the fairways are improving. They have grass in most areas. No more pure dirt spaces. However, the quality of the grass still needs significant improvement. It’s hard work, and I would guess costly, but needs to be done.

A great surprise!

We drove up to play FBGC and were wowed! Greens were fast, true and fun! Fairways were very good! Bunkers didn’t look gorgeous but the playability was amazing and they were consistent. The layout was fun, had some length, some tight shots, some wide open tee shots. Afterwards we went and ate! Cleanest kitchen I have ever seen. I was in the restrained for over 15 years. Food was great, staff was wonderful, helpful, and delightful! We booked two tournaments there for our Amateur Tour’s upcoming Season. As a former professional you can’t ask more of a mini! A definite must play.

Pleasantly Surprised

Courses were in great shape. There are 3 9 hole courses and they each provide their own challenges. The rough is a little thick and grabs your club. Hit em straight and all is good. Greens nice but a little slow. Pace was great 3 to 3-1/2 hours to play. Great staff. Will definitely play again next time in town.

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
