West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
About
Just north of the Jacksonville Airport, Fernandina Beach Golf Club offers three 18-hole courses that are conveniently located within distance of both Jacksonville and the beach. There are three distinct nines at the club that create three different 18-hole combinations. The West/South combination is the tournament course at Fernandina Beach Golf Club. The West nine is long and there is a challenging par-5 that is one of the most difficult on the golf course. The South nine features an abundance of trees and water hazards, putting a heavier emphasis on accuracy rather than distance in scoring well. The golf course is also considered a perfect example of scenic Florida golf with native foliage and wildlife throughout.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
In great shape!
Great course to play. In great shape. Greens rolled true. A little slow but not hairy. They were in good shape. There were a few that had some burnt edges but overall not bad. Fairways were lush and perfect. Could stand to be just a little lower cut for more rollout but I also get it given the Florida heat in July. Ended up playing alone as no one was on my tee time. Played front nine in 1 hr 15min. And back in just under two hrs. Played West and South nines. Always love playing here. Worth the 40 min drive up from Jax.
Good times
Much improved course. 2023 til now is night and day. Few rough looking tee boxes ( didnt hinder anything), other than that the course was in great shape. Fairways and greens are in great condition..I played the west and south courses. Amenity wise ..not having water on a course in Florida is diabolical. Maybe it s for legal reasons. I still enjoyed playing there. Plenty of shade to hideout in.
Enjoyable Round of Golf
The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. It has three 9 hole couses which gives you different options. I played the West/North 18 holes which was in good condition with undulating greens. It has plenty of tee boxes to fit your age or ability. I really enjoyed my round and will play it again.
Junior rate for 18 holes.
All was good but the rate for my 13 year old grandson to play 18. 42.00 dollars for a junior golfer on a municipal course? Ridiculous. If you are going to grow the game through youth it must remain accessible.I paid less than him on Golfnow.
Nice Course….except!
Played N & S courses, greens and fairways in great condition. I know they’ve been working hard to get the courses back in good shape. My only complaint and next are to work in are the cart paths. ATROCIOUS PATHS! Other than that, I’d play again, only this time making sure to ask for the Seniors Rate. It was fun and somewhat forgiving! Great Old Florida feel!
Great course
I had a 2:30 tee time but the course was not very busy so I was able to start early. This coursr has nice wide fairways and it's great for all skill levels. It very nice course, well kept and friendly staff.
A few suggestions
I have played all 3 nines, and they all have their challenges from narrow, short and long, and wide-open. This a fun municipal course but the cost is a bit high for me to play here on a regular basis. The other issue I think could be improved is the course / pro shop opening time. I have had tee times at 0707 and 0715 arrived "early" like 0630 and pro-shop was closed and did not open until 0650. I have played golf for nearly 60 years, and I have never experienced a pro-shop opening this late with a 0700-start time.
But outside of these suggestions I was pleased with the course conditions, pace of play and staff. I would and have recommended this course to friends.
Great round
My tee-time was at 12:30. I had to wait maybe 10 minutes on a twosome to get to the green. I teed off and there was a twosome behind me. The pace was great throughout the entire round. No stalling at all. Very peaceful round, the course looked great.
Vacation Golf
Very pleased with pace of play., condition of the course and staff was very helpful. Highly recommend this course.
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.
Excellent Course
Fun course and great staff. Greens were recently sanded but should clear up soon. Love this place!
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.
