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.

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.

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

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.
