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.

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.

No warning

There was no warning on Golf Now letting people know only one of the three nine holes were open. We paid full price for this and one of the tee boxes were closed for repair. This has been this way for months.

Not even worth the hot-deal price

Place is abysmal and I can only get upset at myself thinking it will get better, the few and far between rounds I've played there. Guy who checked us in at the pro shop was super rude, for whatever reason, and another twosome asked us if we received the same treatment. I dont believe theres a single flat tee box on the course. The South course was the only one open when we played (unbeknownst to us) and the tee box on 1 was closed. Waste of time, money and effort. Tried enjoying what we could but this course doesn't seem to have one redeeming feature. Play Amelia River down the road for a night and day difference

Pleasant Surprise

Course was in good shape - fairways fine - greens were slow but had just been punched so this was understandable- pace of play was fine - played 18 holes in @ 3 hours 20 minutes - enjoyable time

Not helpful for handicapped people

Course maintenance is improved and fairways and traps much better but greens are so long and fuzzy that makes it difficult to roll the ball
