West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

South course is a shot players course. You need to know where to hit the ball and make it happen. North and West course are a little more open and play long. Get ready to practice your big irons. Overall a nice course to visit while on the island.

My friend and I went to the course around noon and asked for the tee time that was available online. I was told if I wanted the tee time it would need to be booked online.

We decided to grab lunch and wait for the tee time they advised was available 1:22.

After lunch we grabbed a cart went to the first tee.

Three other carts were in front of us and 4 walkers. At this pace, we would not have finished the round until after dark.

The pro shop workers were rude & uninviting.

Nice little municipal course. Course was in decent condition. Fun course to work on a few things and have a leisurely round. I thought the price was at a good price point. My cart sucked, but it wasn’t a huge problem.

If your expecting Sawgrass , your gonna be let down, but if your a expect a nice little course you’ll be fine.

I’d play again

For one the app that I use to keep my score didn’t work because they have 3 ,9 holes and the course changes it up to accommodate the players which is a good thing but I like to keep my scores on my golf app called the GRINT. It’s a very good app. Pace of play was slow even though they have 27 holes . The couple in front of us left before they were done with the last 9 . The employees and food were excellent . That have gas golf carts. I like electric because they are more quiet and easier to use. Overall I would give 3 stars . I will most likely not come back. There are nicer courses closer to me that are much better to play .

Greens are in great condition. The layout is very good. Outward aesthetics are wonderful. Unfortunately, the conditions on the fairways are terrible. There are many areas with no grass at all, just sand/dirt and weeds. It seems it would not take too much to turn this into into an outstanding track, but as it sits now, it’s below average muni.

For $49 a round, this is definitely not worth it. Hardly any grass anywhere on tees or fairways. Greens are OK if you like brown. Practice facility is top notch however, with top track tracer technology. Nice place to practice, but would go elsewhere to actually play the course.

We escaped from the cold weather up North and, so, enjoyed having a sunny slightly breezy day in the 60s to play a round of golf in a nice setting. The course has many interesting holes, some with water, trees, sand traps and other challenges in just the right places. But the condition of the West and South nines that we played interferes with the game too much for us to be satisfied it’s the experience. Hardly any grass on fairways, especially in the fifty or so yards leading up to the greens, so every shot is from a very tight lie. The greens were quite bald and hard. The sand traps were very playable - very soft, brown sand. The golf carts are old gas powered ones, pretty noisy and a bit jumpy and the brake on ours didn’t engage very often. The cart paths are all torn up, making for a very bumpy ride. Hardly any grass on most tee boxes, some were just sand. But, it was a nice day to be out and few other golfers were out there, so the pace of play was fine.

South course is in terrible condition. Tee boxes have no grass, fairways have little grass

This place would be GREAT if there was grass on more of the tee boxes and fairways. The greens were getting a little "weedy". Check out their putting green- pretty representative of the course. I've played there a dozen times and played the North course only once. Btw... been there a dozen times ONLY under $40- it's worth that, maybe worth a little less in the condition it's in.

The layout is pretty cool and it's a thinker's game- just be ready for dirt patches to cost you yardage- play your distances with only carry in mind.

This will not be the first course in the area I'll bring visitors to when showing off local golf.

I will say the staff is nice and friendly and the golfers there are super nice as well.

The course conditions need a lot of work. I know they are trying to address it as much as a municipal course can within the City budget. Staff is very friendly, I will continue to play there as one of my course choices.

Course is in horrific condition. No grass in the fairways. Told me juniors play free after 1, changed their mind because grandson looks older than he is. Wouldn't let us start 15 minutes early with no one on the tee box. Ended up getting off late because a 4some teed off 5 minutes before our time. No starter, no one managing slow play. I'll never be back.

Course is really run down from when we played before. Billy Casper Management had it looking great but maintenance way off since the City took it over in 2020. Tee boxes are all sand, lots of wet, soggy areas, and no rangers in sight for 5 someday slowing everyone down. Very disappointed.

Never crowded. Can get a tee time as a walk-on. Fairways and some tee boxes could be in better shape. But I woukd recommend

This course was worth dealing with thr poor conditions when they only charged 25 bucks for a round. now its no less than 40. why would anyone pay that when they can go around the corner to amelia river for 50 and play a great course with far better amenities. this place needs to improve and charging people more aint it chief.
