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.

Nice updates

They continue to work on improvements. The garbage is in enclosed containers so things don’t fly away. They have aerated the greens so some are a bit “bumpy” but the south course was nice

Not great but.... an enjoyable tract

For what it is, a municipal course in a beach town, it was a fun round, The course conditions Varied from some nice greens to ones that had significant problems. They were also lots of the tea boxes that were nothing but dirt and sand. That said, the fairways had grass and the bunkers had sand. The course layout was actually pretty good and it is surrounded by some beautiful live oaks.

Notable change in conditions

There has been a good turnaround in course conditions. I was presently surprised as last year the tee boxes were awful, bare and dirt spots throughout fairways and greens terribly.

While no comparison to oak Marsh the course conditions were in good shape that made for a nice round at very good rate. There is a new course team and they are doing a great job if this continues the course will be even better.

Now that the warm weather is moving in the course continues to improve. This is not a five star facility but I enjoy playing golf here. It’s not as easy as it looks. Good staff. No stupid holes.

Great course for the price!

It’s not perfect and the conditions could be better but for the price of a hot deal you couldn’t beat the price anywhere. I played 18 holes in just over 2 .5 hours. Tough layout but fun to play. The Toptracer Driving range was a plus at the end of my round.
