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.

Decent value
Course is in ok shape. Fairways and greens could definitely be better. One thing we noticed was that the greens from the West course were at least twice as fast as the North course. Took a few holes to get used to it. Overall, we had fun and it is a good value. Will definitely play again.
Work needs to be done
The greens on the west course were deplorable. The layout of the west course was excellent the greens on the north course were very good but the waiting for all the people who were walking in the lack of management of keeping group separated on the turn caused the plate to be much longer than expected
Don't waste your.money!
Very poor condition. Greens & tees need LOTS of work. Fairways were full of weeds. If not for the nice employees it wouldn't deserve a rating. Even with the discounted rate it was way over priced for conditions.
Poor Maintenance
This course could be so much more if it was maintained properly, even on the North which was redone recently. Let's start with the Tee boxes - sad, very sad, dirt, very little grass, some aren't even very flat, (almost convex). The tee markers are haphazardly placed. Some greens are OK, some have very little grass, some have huge circles of deterioration. Some fairways are OK, and playable, but a lot are in terrible condition. Hit a great drive and to find your ball sitting in dirt - not good.
Wouldn't Refund or Give Rain Check
I was unable to make the tee time, and they were unwilling to refund or give me a rain check, and I was unable to cancel through the app. Will most likely never attempt to play here again. Very greedy and cheap of them
Hot Spring Day
Nice course amenities and great staff customer service. The course was in poor shape from tee to green. Not very crowded so moved along quickly.
Needs some TLC.
Good course
All the greens were in great shape however the West course we’re about 3 points faster than the greens on the North course! Some tee boxes and fairways lacked grass and produced extremely tight lies!
The lady that checked us in was just fantastic. I told the Head Pro and he said that she had been there for several years. Please keep her!
Fernandina Beach public golf course
My favorite course in North East Florida highly recommend
Horrible Golf Course conditions and Serious Lack of Staff
It has been a year + since last playing Fernandina Beach GC so we were familiar with the golf course. Apparently labor shortages are having a significant negative impact. Only the North and West 9 holes are used. Prior to today, the West and South 9 were in play for Golf Now players. The North course is very sad with weeds throughout the fairways, around tee boxes and greens. Practically zero grass of any variety on fairways, clipped weeds and uneven surface were the norm. I was amazed at a line of weeds several inches tall along the edge of a green side bunker. The West course fairs much better in upkeep. No Starter, no course supervision or Player Assistant. Result; two fathers with two young teens absolutely indifferent to any golf etiquette caused a backup where the FIVE groups behind them backed up. We were the fourth group waiting. At the turn going from North to West, We played just two very slow play holes, then a shortened par 5 to a par 3 due to car show exhibits being removed, the next hole and then quit after continued back-up delay. To cap off this experience? We drove 52 miles each way, 104 miles round trip, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to play golf. Thank you Fernandina.
