West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
The course was in better shape than when we played last May but still needs a lot of work. The greens while mostly filled in with grass had numerous weeds which made putting more challenging. I will continue to play this course because it is a challenging layout, reasonably priced and the new management is making progress to returning it to good shape.
Disappointed
Played 2 holes - then rain downpour, but no rain check or refund
Poorly maintained
Greens were in bad condition
Fairways and tee boxes lacked grass
Staff was friendly and respectful
Don’t waste your money
Played here for the first time and will not be returning . Course layout is awful. The greens are by far the worst I have ever seen with different grass growing throughout all of them . The guy in the office at check in was nice . But park ranger and other staff were horrible . If you’re not 65 years old and a member they treat you as if you’re completely stupid . The group behind us called the ranger on us for driving 15 feet from the green. The park ranger came out to us and scolded us for 10 minutes and threatened to kick us out , he acted as if we were playing at tpc sawgrass when in reality this course is a dollar general compared to the nicer courses I’ve played and for 50$ it was a huge waste. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I Would not play here for free
Went to the “range” and their card reader was dead. So no balls. Was told to play South and then North. The South was by far the worst 9 holes I’ve ever experienced. Fairways looked like they never are taken care of. The greens were filled with sand. Would have been a better option to chip on the green than to put. North was better kept but the greens were still not in good shape. I do not plan to ever play here again.
Fernandina beach golf course
The course has a good layout. The problem is the shape of the course is not good.
The course is still in winter mode but challenging and fun. This is my fifth time playing… so my return is a bit of an endorsement as to the enjoyment factor.
Good to get back in the groove
Played with my wife. 11 am tee time weekday not crowded. Great new carts. Pace was very good. Some bare areas due to winter weather. Still good place to warm up and price is decent
Disappointing.
Could be much better . There have been recent improvements but doesn’t justify current green fees relative to local options
Not great
Nice staff and a good layout but the course is not in very good condition, even for February. Price is good gorwhat you get.
Great potential
The west and north courses were in pretty good shape. The south course needs time. South just needs to shut down so it can fully bounce back. I grew up playing these courses, so I know they can be great. You can see the great design and potential as you play, they just need some TLC. Staff are great and the range is top of the line.
Sub par experience
Course in extreme winter condition. Bare fairways and sanded greens. Though they rolled well, and were very playable Dated clubhouse
