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.

Good fun course

This is a good fun course on Amelia Island. I have played here a bunch of times. Todays round was super fast pace of play (2 some and course was very quiet) tee boxes and fairways were in average or just okay condition. Greens were “normal”

Nothing special. Overall good round of golf

Not Bad

I would love to play this course more often. I've been reading ads re: how this course is in great shape after years of not being in great shape. Take my word for it, the course is as it was, and has been, for over a decade. It has not changed one bit. Terrible tee boxes, terrible greens covered in small growths of weeds (or whatever), and the fairways are semi-good (lots of dirt areas, lots of rough, needing more work grass, etc.). Saying that, I believe that this is a fairly standard municipal course. But they should sell 9 of the 27 holes thay have and make this a great 18 hole muni.

Poorly maintained.

The course in in poor condition, even considering that it’s early April. Tees are OK, fairways lack sufficient grass, greens are uneven in texture and cut. The layout is open to challenging depending on the hole.

Terrible condition

First time playing this course and I will not be back

Course was in terrible shape. Tees, fairways and greens. Poor turf / leaves every where.

Not sure if they have a grounds crew, but if so there is no budget for maintenance.

The course was not in good shape. we played north. The greens were in terrible shape. I had a big discount but would not have paid full price. Sorry, but did not enjoy it.
