West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

The location and layout is great. There are lots of weeds and unkept areas. The fairways were way too long as well as the greens. The fairways were spotty too. No water to drink or cart service in Florida. Come on! No coolers were available, Just bags of ice that melted in four holes.

I paid for 18 and got very dehydrated and had to leave after 9. I asked for a rain check for another 9 another day. The lady just told me to take it up with GolfNow. That explains all the other issues at the course.

The fairway grass is what you would expect in the rough at many other courses in the area. Many spots have not been given any regular attention in a while. Could be a great course given the location and 27 holes available but just needs some real attention to get there.

Looked like it hadn’t been cut in a week. It’s never great, but this round was exceptionally bad. Next time I’ll pay $10 more to go anywhere else.

The fairways were shaggy to the point that I couldn’t find balls and if I hit into the rough, forget about it. I know the rough is supposed to be penalizing, but I’m not on the tour and this rough is almost a guaranteed lost ball since I don’t have the luxury of having spotters. The green was great, if it were in the fairway… again very shaggy, patchy and poorly maintained. The bunkers were ok.

Course is on its 3rd general manager and course superintendent in the last four years. New GM has been on the job for a little over 6 months- new super, 2 months. Greens are recovering from some serious chemical mistakes made over the winter. They are coming along quite nicely now, as is the putting green. Fairways, bunkers and tee boxes need work. Avoid the South course if you can - fairways are closed on 2 holes (1 and 8) making it a par 33 and fairways on two others (2 and 9) probably should be closed as well. If play here and pay $60 for your round you will be understandably upset. More than $40 is too much, especially if you get stuck on the South course. But progress is being made.

This course is way to expensive for the course conditions. You can’t tell the rough from the fairway, the fairway is totally loaded with weeds. The greens had lots of grass missing from disease or whatever. Never play here again.

I wish I would have gone to another course. I had to roll my ball around on almost every shot because there was hardly any grass. I even hit 16 out of 18 fairways and it was difficult to find any grass to hit off of. The greens were rough - my ball danced around after every putt. However, the lady inside the club house and the starter were super nice and friendly.

This was by far the worst course to date, that I have played at. The tee boxes were just hills of dirt. You couldn’t tell the fairways from the rough. The greens were a quarter gone around the edges. I would tell anyone thinking of playing there, DON’T.

This was by far the worst course I have ever played at. Right from the minute we arrived, no one to help with the bags, the lady in the pro shop was very nice and friendly. The starter and cart guy were also very friendly and nice. The course itself was in horrid condition. You couldn’t tell the fairway from the rough, the greens were just aerated and no one bothered to mention that. The tee boxes were pretty much non existent, no grass on them at all. There was only one centrally located bathroom on the course and the gas carts barely went. This place needs a total upgrade.

You can tell that they have done work on the course. It is much improved and getting better.🙂🙂

This course is an old tradition in this community. Being new to the area, this course has a great opportunity to become an incredible club, just needs foresight and a bunch of TLC...great layout

Course not in great condition. Some good some bad greens. Good layout. Great value for the money.

I came to Fernandina about 14 years ago and this was the premiere public course in North Florida. The course always had the best greens of all the courses on the island.Today was a true disappointment. The course was in terrible condition. Someone has not been paying attention to the condition of the course. The city has truly allowed the course to grow into terrible condition. It is obvious that Fernandina Beach and it’s leadership no longer value the gem that they once had. It is truly a shame and the leadership of the city has allowed the course to get in this condition.
