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.

The place is like a goat pasture.

Cannot say anything good about the condition of the course. The layout is pretty nice but the everything else is in very bad shape, Greens are bumpy, fairways are overgrown, rough is not well maintained, some of the tee boxes have no grass at all

Staff was nice, and got paired with two nice players so enjoyed the company

Good bang for your buck

Nice course just needs maintaining better. Sand traps needed work and lots of divots in fairways. Overall not bad at all just needs some work.

Course could be much better.

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.

Course has gone way downhill

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.

Course conditions were awful

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.
