Rating 72.6

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.

Transformation!

The course (North-West) was in the best condition in 6 years! Kudos to the grounds crew for an excellent turnaround in the past 6-7 months. More golfers should give the course a try!

Thought a driving range with top tracer would be cool

…too bad it’s been closed for months. Not only did it not say anything on their website about it being closed but they were still actively advertising it. You can even ball range balls through GolfNow. Course was in good shape greens were well maintained on the north and south course. Didn’t get a chance to play the west course.

Excellent conditions

It has been quite a while since I played Fernandina Beach and I was quite pleased. Played Went and Sputh and every green and most fairways were in terrific shape. Staff was great and recommend the course for the money. Keep up the great work.

Fernando’s Beach

Course was good value for the money. Public courses not plentiful on Amelia. Both fairways and greens were in average condition. But for the money I would definitely play it again. Person at pro shop was very pleasant and smiling the whole time.

Just OK

Played North and South nines. The first few holes on the North were in bad shape with soggy fairways and greens. The North nine was 2.5 hours pace of play. South was much faster as a few groups only played nine. South nine was in better shape. Greens were just OK, with some weeds.
