West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

Green and traps were consistent and very playable. The fairways and tees need to improve.( Unfortunately we were behind 3 young guys trying to match the beer count with the hole count. As a result play was slow. This is not the fault of the course. )

With public golf options becoming more limited on Amelia, the course has apparently upped its fees. The fees no longer justify the experience. Everything is pretty average for a municipal course, making the $80 greens fee pretty steep.pace of play was great, as the course was far from full, even though the weather was wonderful. There’s a message there. It’s less expensive to travel inland just a bit, and to courses are better.

I would like to play the course in spring or fall, with good grass coverage. But would not recommend playing it in winter.

Nice muni. Pace was a little slow. Gold tees don't get much so some holes were pretty long. I'll play it with Golf Now or Tee Off hot deals but not full price.

We winter close to the course, so it’s an easy decision to play there. Like all the courses in this area that are not very premium priced or totally private, the grass is dormant and brown. If you can’t get past that, you’ll need to be significantly south or pay very high greens fees. Played north and south nines. They are very different in character. North is typical muni. South is a former private course, so it has more interesting features. Both have large greens in very good condition.

Many improvements since last year’s playing. Friendly and helpful staff. Very enjoyable course.

Course was in good shape, especially the greens. Winter golf, so dormant. But still quality.

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.

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.
