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.

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.
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.
Great Course
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.
Value for Money
First played this course 3 years ago. It has been improved every year. Now plays as well as private clubs in this area.
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
