North/West at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

I did the North course for the front 9 and then the West course for the back 9. The North course was not very good or well maintained, but the West course was beautiful. What I would recommend, and what I did for future visits, is do the West course twice. If you do that, then you'll have a really good experience. The West course is of good quality.

Staff was friendly and accomodating. Some fairways and cart paths were on rough condition side - most greens in good shape. Minimal hazards/OB's.
Very reasonable in cost and then discounted further (25%) with GolfNow, (which proshop did not offer to match in advance).

The South course was much better than the North course. Very much players - slowly game!

Course was in really good shape considering all the rain we've had. Greens were very well kept. A fun course.

This is an average course and a good value for the money. A little closer mowing on the fairways would have made a major improvement.

From a retired golf course owner and superintendent the course lacks the attention to detail to bring in public play. An example would be green condition. The greens had been aerified recently probably within the last ten days. A necessity I realized how ever they had not been mowed that day (Sunday) and were very slow and rough. The mere action of cutting the greens would remove the highs and make the surface puttable. I would guess this course needs a influx of capital to revamp and encourage workers to take more pride in what they do. Also the cups had not been changed in five to seven days and were very ratty on the edges.

I have played this course a number of times thru the years. Each year while on vacation/ This year the course was rough. The tee boxes needed grooming and the greens had recently been aerated and sanded. The greens were really rough and putting on them was atypical for this course. I may play there next year, but not the remainder of time I am here on vacation this year.

fairways lies weren't tight it seems that more seeding was needed to promote grass growth instead of what appeared as a hay affect even close to the green approach.
In other words no carry on drives.

The greens weren't good at all. They were aerated and balls were bouncing everywhere. Overall course condition wasn't good at all.

Some of the greens have patches and some are perfect. The fairways are a little above average. Traps nicely maintained. The course has been cleaned up and some new tee boxes instaled. They are tring very hard to make this course a great one.

Nice staff, course was rough. Needed mowed, weed problems, greens were furry to an extreme. Nice staff!

The course is not worth paying money to play. The fairway green is as tall as some other course's 2nd rough with patchy dead spot. Green is bumpy. We paid $25 for 18 in the morning. I would recommend pay a bit more at nearby excellent course, Golf Club at North Hampton.

I have been visiting FL & playing this course for about 30 years. I have never seen it in this poor condition. About a third of the greens are so damaged as to be unplayable. Fairways are ragged.
Who's (not) running this course? What happened?

I have played this course in the past and found it to be decent. It has 27 holes. I played the South and the West courses and the greens were far from green, the fairways were more like the rough and the rough, well it was really rough. I should have known something was wrong when I saw the two truck loads of sod in the parking lot. The good news is it appears they recognize the problem and had plenty of staff working on the course laying sod and sanding the greens, but unfortunately that was being done during my game.

Okay for the beginner/ novice but the greens on north were rough(sparse grass).

I don't expect a muni to be perfect but the course was pretty bad. The staff was great and I love playing here I hope they get it back soon

The staff is wonderful. The course is terrible. The fairways and greens are for the most part in abysmal condition. The course needs a lot of work. There are better options for your golfing dollar.

The course is in rough shape. Greens are horrible. Very bumpy with a mixture of different grasses. Tee boxes are bad. Trees have overtaken many of the fairways. Got to be straight down the the middle or you're punch shooting all day. Carts are decent though, I believe they were purchased last year. I play this course only when I cannot get on my regular courses.

Excellent staff!
Great food!!
Good course.
Fairways are in good condition.
Greens in fair condition.

Greens were disappointing. Very spotty grass-wise. Rough was mostly gravel in many areas.
