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.

Not worth it

After speaking with a local recently about this course Thought ide give this course a try again after several years. . Don’t waste ur time or money. Some of the greens were better than decent but that’s only positive I have for this course. Nothing else was good. Wait the staff and bacon egg and cheese sandwich was the highlight at the turn. Would of rather spent and additional 20$ and played Amelia River which would have been playable tee to green. This course needs a lot of TLC prolly another several years before I consider.

great round with great people

Awesome course for the money. Still haven't played the North course yet as its been South and West. The tee boxes need work and the greens were in great shape.

Golf course???

Is this really a golf course? The West course was ok at best. The South course was in horrible shape. There several holes with little to no grass at all.

If I had the choice to play here or nowhere at all, I would choose not to play.

Due to all of the rain lately the weeds are really popping up in the fairway. The greens are really tough

Tale of two nines

We played the South 9 first, and it is in very bad shape. More bare ground and mud than winter kill grass. It is January, so there was no expectation that conditions would be lush, it was no good. To compound this, the pace of play was very slow. We made the turn and started on the West 9, and it was like we entered a new world. Conditions were very good, given it is January in north Florida, and everyone else in front of us must have only played 9 holes, as we had the course to ourselves. Looking over at the North 9, it looked similar to the West 9, both in terms of conditions and number of players. So, if you going to play, it would pay to know what series of nines you will be assigned to play.
