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.

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

Worst tee boxes ive seen

Worst tea boxes I’ve seen in a while, barely any grass very sandy . No flat level spot to tee off . Either below or above your feet . Very bad way to start each hole. Just over all disappointment

Disappointed

Tee boxes were sandy trash , not a single flat spot to tee up . You had to either tee it up below your feet or above your feet,rough way to start each hole, course conditions have been alot better in the past! Fair way was decent , the rough was like playing out of sand instead of rough. Greens do not have a fringe. out of my last 20 outings this year this was my least favorite so far. I enjoyed it better in the past

Nice Course

This is a three nine hole course. We played the west and south course. Upon arrival the staff were really helpful and nice. The practice facility was great. I loved the layout of each course, can be challenging but very manageable. Be aware that there are a lot of trees. The courses were in really good condition for this time of year. Greens were really fast. We paid $49 through golf now and I feel that it was definitely worth it. Look forward to going back and playing the north course next time.

Terrible condition!

They should be embarrassed at the condition of the greens

And the fairways were almost as bad.

Need to Rename Course to Plantation Oaks

Played the North and West courses. Many holes have large oak tree limbs hanging out over the fairways and tee boxes. Course needs some serious tree trimming but likely won't happen due to oak trees are over 200 years old.

I likley will not play this course again and IMO not worth the cost to play it.

Garbage

A goat ranch disguised as a golf course. No grass on fairways. Greens are diseased. Should be condemned and turned into housing.

Improving

Greens are very good, traps are good, tees ok, fairways still a bit thin. Even with the dormant Bermuda grass coming to life, the fairways are still thin.
