West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

Played south and west courses. For many years they have been neglected resulting in very poor conditions, thin grass cover, rock hard traps, inconsistent greens….. This year there has been a dramatic improvement, while far from perfect, it’s now worth playing. The greens are very good, traps have real, playable sand, and while the fairways are not lush, they have as much grass cover as other courses in the winter that do now overseed with rye grass. Definitely worth a 2nd chance.

Enjoyed the round! Greens were in good shape. Played the north course(9 holes) easy course routing

Would recommend this course. Easy to get too bye road. Friendly staff! Very nice afternoon was had !

Course was in decent "winter condition". absolutely no pressure and we had a relaxing 4 hr round INCLUDING very tasty breakfast omelets. Friendly staff

First time playing here this year. Tremendous improvement from last year. West course was in good shape but the South course (the better course) was far better than I expected. It had been neglected in the past but now it shows that it has been greatly improved.

Very enjoyable round of golf with enough challenges to test your game.

Duck poop on the greens. Leaves everywhere. Some bare spots on fairways. But fun course. Great for beginners. Unfortunately they didn’t have a starter so tee times ment very little. We were stacked up behind these folks that we should have been paired with. Very slow 18.

Staff in pro shop were nice. Starter was grumpy. There was a tournament with 58 players out In front of us. We were given a different course combination to help cope with this, but it didnt really help. We caught up with the 6 ball, yes I did mean six ball, of the last group in the tournament after 6 holes. When we finally made it to the turn there were 4 carts lined up, so we tried a different 9. Sadly this was following the 6 ball. 1 hour later and 3 holes we called it quits. The greens were good, the fairways poor. The worst experience we have had in Amelia island.

Expectations were low given previous experiences. We were pleasantly surprised by the improvements to the South and West courses. While they are far from “country club” levels, the course is vastly improved. No more bare dirt fairways and spotty greens. The greens are very good and the fairways have real grass on them.

Unfortunately, the course has not gotten any better over the years. The fairways are rock hard, the greens are just Ok, and the tee boxes are hit or miss. The range is closed due to insurance claim issues from the hurricane. The layout is good and the staff are very friendly, I really want the course to be great, but sadly it’s not.

This course has dealt with some mismanagement in the past and was starting to overcome that when they got about a foot of rain from a tropical system that set them back a little. I can't wait to see how they improve in the spring and the summer. The greens were not overseeded, but the majority are in good to great shape. They putt true but are not fast. They are soft to land on. Fairways are mostly in good shape. The layout makes it challenging and fun. They probably are more like a 3.5 on course conditions, but since they have some of the better greens right now, I gave them a 4.

Golf course was nice. Been playing at this courses for 43 years
