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.

Struggling

I just arrived from Canada and wanted to get some practice before the round. Yes they had a top tracer but I likely have never paid that much per ball anywhere/ anytime. I was scrambling to my tee as I only had 30 minutes.

Ended up playing alone as my group had left early as there was no starter and the pro shop had no control.

The tees were awful and the fairways worse.

No real value for money. They only exist as they are the lowest priced alternative on the island.

South Nine in Poor Condition

We walked 18 holes on the West and South nines. The par 37 West features three par 5 holes. It's in reasonable condition and is fairly open. The South Nine has too many places of very rough tee boxes and inconsistent turf.

Improving

The rough is still a pile of raw dirt, some of the fairways are poor, some are not that bad, bunkers are getting to be more consistent, and greens are very good. Overall it shows significant improvement over last January, but it still has a long way to go to warrant paying more than $25-30 a round.
