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.

West Course

The west course greens were absolutely terrible. Huge and filled divots that looked like you were trying to putt in the fairway. It's insane that this course is over $60. This is a $30 course max.

Great Municipal Course

Fun, quick round of golf while on vacation. Forgiving and relatively easy course. Greens had been recently punched and course was in great shape. Excellent value.

Not good

We play here a few times a year. Greens are currently in bad shape. West course greens are nearly unplayable. South had been punched but haven’t recovered. North course was closed. If it were anywhere else, you’d expect to pay less than $30 for a course like this. Hope they get it back to something decent again.

Needs some help

I have played here many times in the past but have never found it in the shape it was in yesterday. The greens are full of sand and weeds. The roughs right off the fairways are not in great shape either. Not sure if it’s due to lack of water but not worth the $60 I payed yesterday. I will go back but will wait for a discounted price until course is in better shape.

This course is so much fun. They do need to work on the greens and that is about to take place. All in all, an awesome course.

Course is a nice layout

Greens and fairways need work areas where there’s no grass on the fairways and greens that are beat up

There are a lot of holes!

The staff is nice, the course is good not great. Try and play it with a GolfNow deal or it’s a little overpriced for the conditions.

Always descent

Course is in descent shape. Greens had some issues but they rolled ok. Course is always in descent shape but never excellent shape but never rough. Just always in descent shape. May be a little pricey for the average conditions but playing in Amelia island is always more expensive.

A good course for a change of pace

First, staff was very helpful and friendly. And club house is very nice and looks comfy. Second the course pace of play was really good we finished in less than 4hrs. The conditions are adequate except for the greens. They have what looks like small divots and small plugs of weeds scattered about. I am sure the course sup is well aware of these issues. Lastly, I might come back when the price is dropped about $15.

Average course

Not bad for a public course. Easy design with wide open fairways. Greens are a bit rough but not bad. $50 course at best.

South/west

Enjoyed South/west course more so than North/west. C

Convenient course on Island. If just starting season it’s great for warm up. Much cheaper than Amelia River, which is nice. I
