West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

Making a 10:06 Saturday morning tee time our golf party was placed directly behind the last group in an ongoing golf tournament that was being held. The pace of play was awful and no course ranger was on site to help speed up play. At times it took up to 20 minutes for the group ahead to complete one hole. After (12) holes of play we decided to suspend playing the remaining (6) holes as we were already 3+ hours into the round and to frustrated to continue on.

Also, their were holes where the fairways and tee boxes were bare of grass and every bunker we saw was in need of bunker sand. As a Fernandina Beach native this used to be a nice course to play, not anymore.

The city of FB need to seriously consider investing more money in the needed resources to bring this course back to a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ + rating that it once held. I almost joined this course last year and from what I experienced today, I'm glad I didn't!

I was on Amelia Island & had been beat up by the upscale courses so on my last day I played the local muni. The fairways were a little spotty, but other than that the course was very nice & challenging enough. I played the North & West 9's. West was a lot longer (par 37) but I think I liked it better.

The greens are in great shape. Getting there is another story. Fairways and tee boxes are horrendous!! This course has great potential but the city is missing a great opportunity to make it a financial asset. Gas powered golf carts. Great idea… NOT !

The course is improving from 1 year ago but still has a long way to go with further improvements. Unless the City of Fernandina Beach gives more money to become a better course, which would increase revenues, improvements will continue to be limited.

Staff is very helpful and friendly and they are doing what they can with limited resources.

Overall, for a lower price round of golf vs. other nearby courses, this course is worth trying.

West course was decent but, the south course is really in bad shape. Won’t be back. It’s been about 15 years since I have been out there. Might be forever before I go back.

Good layout and pace of play Great. Could be better maintained.. with a little care could be a really nice course.

Great place to go for me—10 minutes travel time. Very convenient!!

Played with my neighbor in less than 3 hours. Teed off at 11:00 am.

Relaxed course, well maintained. At the time that I played the greens were slow needing a grass cut.

This is a great course, only problem is that we had to pay for 18 online when we was only allowed to play 9 at 6:00 pm tee time.

Played late morning mid week with a very good Hot Deal rate. Old growth municipal golf course in very good condition, played North then West courses. General appearance was very clean and well maintained. A few fairways a bit dry given the typical hot weather this time of year. Greens are in great shape. Played all 18 holes just under 3 hours.

I have played here before and the last time I played, about 6 months ago, the fairways were not very manicured. The greens were not in good shape and the rough was mostly dirt. What a difference this time. They were all better and got in a good round. Nice clean up. Keep it up.

It was a pretty busy course when we went. I think it took us 5 hours to play the west and south courses.

The west course was well kept. I don’t recall a tee box or green in bad condition. Most of the holes are straight shots.

Some of the holes on the south course need the tee boxes re-sodded, but most of the greens were good with some rough spots.

It’s right next to the airport so if you don’t like seeing/hearing airplanes while you you play you may want to reconsider, but we enjoyed watching them. Overall we had a great time.

Great hot deal pricing. Greens were in good shape. Could use some grass manicuring and trimming around the greens and traps.
