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.
