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
Terrible shape. Can’t believe I wasted my money.
Tee boxes are never flat. Alway teeing off on a hill. Today half the tee boxes had no grass, felt like teeing off in a bunker. Fairways on the south course were 40% grass 60% sand. Can’t believe how bad the shape of the course is. Greens were not perfect but rolled pretty good, perhaps the only bright side of the course. Not worth it though when every shot in the fairway felt like a fairway bunker shot. And every tee box you are sliding in sand while trying to drive.
Great day with the boy
Well for the first time playing this course. It was a very pleasant day with some great challenges for the average golfer. My son loved the experience and enjoyed the round and the people that we connected with. While the course was a little rough (I.e. tee boxes with more sand than grass, and the fairways a bit more brown than green) it is expected to be with the pandemic and not much rain but all in all. It was a good day out on the course with the boy. Well done Fernandina Beach Golf Club. See you again soon!
Thank you for your review! We are glad you and your son enjoyed your time at the course and we look forward to seeing you backs soon.
Sad state of affairs
Very simple. They have let this course go and don’t seem to care. Little grass on fairways not to mention tee boxes, and greens are horrible. We have played this course many, many time but feel it’s not worth the cost or aggravation. I consider this our home course but we will be playing somewhere else. Wish they would put some effort into keeping course at least playable.
Three Nine Hole Slots, Nice Setting
There are three nine hole courses: south, west and north. We played the south first which was a bit narrow at times but really beautiful. The north course was easier but less interesting. We had been playing at a pretty good pace on the first nine and then the starter dropped a threesome in front of us when we went to the "back 9" which slowed us down. The greens were just ok, but the fairways were in good shape. Good experience overall.
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course, despite the slow downs towards the end. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
Nothing Special
I've played courses public courses like this in much better condition. I played the West and South courses here and it is appparent not much of the money is put back into course maintenance. The vast majority of tee boxes are awful due to the lack of size and were concave and alot of the tee shot site lines were obstructed by overgrown tree trees/limbs. The cart paths are mostly dirt covered with tree roots and what concrete is there needs repair. The greens and sand traps seemed well maintained nice given the time of year.

Quick pace of play
Course is fairly tight but still had a good pace of play. Fairways were in great shape but greens were a little ragged and rolled pretty quick.
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed our course. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
Nice little track, nice price
Enjoyed the day albeit the wind was coming from the north at 18mph continuously. Greens I’m sure will be better nice in summer. Staff very friendly. We played West/South nines.
Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad to hear you enjoy our course and wonderful staff. We look forward to having you back soon.
Disappointed
The overall condition of this course was disappointing. The greens were in pretty bad shape, divots weeds etc.

Good value for money
You can find nicer courses if you want to pay a lot more money but this is a nice course for a great price. I liked playing at off peak times so I often finished in a little over 3 hours.

Fast Greens Terrible rough
Played North and West Course’s. The greens and fairways were excellent. The rough around the greens was terrible. Very few flat tee boxes.

Tuff putting greens!!
The putting greens are really tuff right now. Putting cost me about 8 to 10 strokes. Got on par 5’s in three and three pitted several times
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course, even though the greens could have been better during your round. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
Not worth the money
Fairways were in horrible condition. Hard bare. Tee boxes were not raked care if. No grass in most of them. Greens were marginal. Appears no one cares about the upkeep. Felt like my money was wasted. My friend from out of town played and said terrible condition. Can get better deals locally for same money and nicer course.

Thanks for your review Thom. We appreciate you playing golf at our facility during your time in Florida. We hope you come visit us again soon.
The rough is too tall.
Challenging course but the rough coupled with all the trees make it a hard course to enjoy.
We appreciate your honest feedback. To help protect the course, we need to adjust the level of our rough and we apologize that you caught it at that time. We hope that you come back to enjoy us soon.
Course is in sad shape
Love the layout of this course but they have apparently let if go down hill a little. Greens are in nice shape and fairways were hit or miss. They just need a complete makeover for such a nice piece of property.
