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.

Great Value

My wife and I (28 & !8 hcp respectively) play a lot of golf. This operation was a very nice surprise. The facilities are clean, in good repair, and well cared for. The course was in good shape considering it was mid February. Greens were excellent. Fairways were overseeded. We played in 3 hours. We both considered that we got our money's worth - and then some.

Rough around the edges

Greens on The south course are as good as any I have played . Unfortunately ,I have a hard time saying anything else positive . The starter was in a panic and behind as they have never had as many people on a Thurs . Gas carts are brutal for noise . The fairways are over seeded and pretty good but anywhere off the fairway is basically dirt .--- guess it is winter and probably should expect the conditions we experienced . They are redoing the greens on the west course and if they turn out as good as the south , it will be great . On the west course the holes are very repetitive and you get the feeling you had already played the hole you were on . Many of the tees are dirt and winter weeds .i think the price is attractive but that is about it .

Good Value on the Island

Because this is a municipal course, it is less well maintained than the private courses on Amelia Island. But the value for the price is there, it's relatively easy to get a tee time, and the staff is courteous.

Fernandina Beach Golf 12-29-14

I have played this course for many years and had seen a decline in course conditions over the last few years. HOWEVER, this time the course was in the best shape I've seen it in in quite some time. The new greens on the South course are starting to mature and were in great shape.

The greens were in good shape (especially South-Course), the fairways (all courses) are to improve.

The course greens are in excellent shape

It's an old course and worn around the edges. The fairways are oak lined making it difficult to maintain the grass and the f/w needs weed control. Overall it's a good value for the money

Don't bother

Wow, not worth the money at any price. Greens were ok. Rough was US OPEN +++, UNCUT clumps of grass around greens, lots of fallen trees, terrible cart paths, staff lied about conditions and the carts were old gas and dirty.

Needs more work

I played the South course first. They have put in new greens and they were in good shape. However the rest of the course wasn't. Could land in the fairway and not have a good lie. Forget the rough, no grass or lots of weeds. Hard to play out of. Then I went to the North course. I liked the layout a lot better and the course was in better shape. Greens were good too. Course in a lot better shape than last year, but they still have a ways to go.

Rocking a golf outing with mysons!

Great location, great staff, great value for your dollar. Played the South 9 first - great challenge for us (99-105 score golfers). Played West 9 for our back 8 and really enjoy that course, hoping the "greens under repair" with the aeration process doesn't take too much longer.

Thanks for another great game of golf!
