West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Badly in need of some TLC - such disappointment
I’ve played this course in the past and was disappointed that it was in such bad shape. Tee boxes are all dirt. No ranger on site for assistance and no cart girl for drinks. Food in clubhouse was expensive (hotdog $7.50) and drinks weren’t real cold. Just disappointed overall ☹️
Terrible
Should have done more research before playing. Half the tee boxes were just dirt, literally no grass on the tee box! Greens were not impressive. Wasn’t worth the $60 bucks to play.
Interesting course
Beautiful layout, lots of dog legs and narrow tee shots. Greens were great, tees and fairways need work. Cool layout and good price.
Below average golf course
Not much to say, this course is below average. The greens are ok but the fairways and rée off, needs a lot of loving and tender care.
Weekend Getaway
We were in the area for our Grandson's 1st birthday and also a weekend getaway. We booked our round on Golf Now to ensure we got the preferred tee time. Bery pleasantly surpised with the course amd all the nice people that worked there. The course has 3 nines (North, South, and West) we played the West and South. The xourse layoit was great and the surrounding area was beautiful. Unfortunately the tee boxes and fairways were not very good. Most boxes were dirt and fairways were not very good either. However, the greens were very nice. The ball held the greens and rolled out to the hole nicely. We will play there again when we return to the area to visit our family.
Horrible T boxes
Most T boxes had little to no grass on them . 1 in particular had zero grass. It was like hitting a driver out of a bunker. I’d play this course for 10-15 dollars just to get some swings in but thats about it. There’s maybe 1 or 2 holes that are decent.
Fairways are ok, I’ve seen worse.
Nice layout needs help
Poorly maintained public course with good infrastructure needs lots of TLC. Fairways have limited playable grass. Traps are hard-packed with little sand. Greens are decent.
Staff was friendly and clubhouse is inviting.
Improving as the spring rains begin.
Greens were improved compared to a couple of months ago. Tee boxes need some attention.
Great layout and long challenging holes. Not bad for a municipal course,
Horrendous conditions
Absolutely the worst condition I've ever seen. Spend a few extra dollars and play somewhere else. I wouldn't play again if it was free.
Poor planning
There are 3, 9 hole courses. I paid for 18 holes. There was no ranger and pace was atrociously slow. Worst part was of the 3 nines, one was being loaned to a car show and two of the holes were “converted” to par 3s. This all the while a perfectly good 9 holes was closed. After 2 1/2 hrs and 9 holes, I left. Pitiful
fernandina beach
typical muni, could use some tlc. some greens have different type of grass growing. some traps have little sand
