West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
Great layout and price
Fairways are thin, greens improving. Long course. Great value with hot deal pricing.
Goat ranch
I wouldn’t graze my cattle on this course! The greens are severely damaged, 2 of the 9 tee boxes on the South Course are closed along with the fairways of those holes.
The course is absolutely TERRIBLE!!!
The fairways on all 27 holes are severely damaged. There patches of weeds and and bald spots on which your well hit drive will land.
While you may hit a great iron into a green, you’ll with great certainty putt through some damaged area of the green.
This golf course is desperate and has no shame nor dignity to remain open and take golfers’ money for what we get in return. Shame! Shame! Shame!
Course conditions Improving a little every time I play !
Played the West and North course.
Much more enjoyable than the South Course.
Do not play here
Fairways were weeds. Sand traps or dirt not sand Greens were black dirt, pretty much no grass on them. Not a pleasant round of cough.
Municipal Course
Easy accessible local course. Needs attention to most areas. Enjoyed my round
Poor Course Conditions
This course has 3 nines, north, south and west. I played North followed by West. The tee boxes were in good condition, the fairways were terrible and the greens just slightly better. The West 9 was a little better then North but not much. Didn’t play South but I was told it is worse than North and West.
Too bad, a beautiful location. With a little TLC and some irrigation it could be a very nice course.
Needs maintenance
Course seems to lack sufficient staff and resources to maintain it to a reasonable standard. No starter most days. No marshalls to keep play moving. Traps lack sand( only thin layer. ) Quite a few fairways lack complete grass cover( bump the ball for any type of lie. Nice staff
Poor Conditions
Got to the course and paid for round. Was told no starter “just tee off at your time”. Playing west to south. First tee box only had 1 set of tees as the blue tee box was overgrown. Greens were destroyed by fungus and little to no grass to putt on. Cart paths were torn up and falling apart, bunkers had about 1/2” of dirt “no sand”. 2 par 4 holes on the south course were closed off and made into par 3’s hitting off mats. Just a terrible round. I drove 2 hrs one way to play a course that couldn’t be bothered with course maintenance. Just horrible.
AOG
27 hole lay out. Played West & South. South was not outstanding however the West was horrible. Loss fairs & lost greens on two holes with temporary tee boxes. No warning at the club house. I will not recommend to course.
A Sad Muni
Has the potential to be a good municipal course but little or no money goes back into matainance. Managed by “non golfers “
Getting better
North Course was in nice shape. South fairways are still in poor condition.
Need top soil and a plan to rehab on a hole by hole basis. Layout is great.
Need topsoil and grass planted to recover the South Course.
Fast greens, but no grass on the fairways
They had nice, fast greens, but that's it. The course was dirt and weeds. A lot of the tee boxes were uneven, and had little to no grass
Okay course priced right - course needs a lot of tlc
Nice layout and staff are welcoming and friendly. It was only $29 but you get why you pay for.
Needs Help
This course has really gone downhill. What used to be a cheaper, OK course has really fallen apart. Tee boxes are uneven as they come. Fairways have tons of mud, more than they have grass. Cart paths are rough, really rough. Carts do not run well.
