West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club

The course is not worth paying money to play. The fairway green is as tall as some other course's 2nd rough with patchy dead spot. Green is bumpy. We paid $25 for 18 in the morning. I would recommend pay a bit more at nearby excellent course, Golf Club at North Hampton.

I have been visiting FL & playing this course for about 30 years. I have never seen it in this poor condition. About a third of the greens are so damaged as to be unplayable. Fairways are ragged.
Who's (not) running this course? What happened?

I have played this course in the past and found it to be decent. It has 27 holes. I played the South and the West courses and the greens were far from green, the fairways were more like the rough and the rough, well it was really rough. I should have known something was wrong when I saw the two truck loads of sod in the parking lot. The good news is it appears they recognize the problem and had plenty of staff working on the course laying sod and sanding the greens, but unfortunately that was being done during my game.

Okay for the beginner/ novice but the greens on north were rough(sparse grass).

I don't expect a muni to be perfect but the course was pretty bad. The staff was great and I love playing here I hope they get it back soon

The staff is wonderful. The course is terrible. The fairways and greens are for the most part in abysmal condition. The course needs a lot of work. There are better options for your golfing dollar.

The course is in rough shape. Greens are horrible. Very bumpy with a mixture of different grasses. Tee boxes are bad. Trees have overtaken many of the fairways. Got to be straight down the the middle or you're punch shooting all day. Carts are decent though, I believe they were purchased last year. I play this course only when I cannot get on my regular courses.

Excellent staff!
Great food!!
Good course.
Fairways are in good condition.
Greens in fair condition.

Greens were disappointing. Very spotty grass-wise. Rough was mostly gravel in many areas.

The course itself was nice. Great layout..The greens need attention but overall a great day and staff members were great.

This golf course has recently spent time clearing areas all over the course to make it more playable and golfer friendly and has added new carts as well as being an overall good value for the money.

We played in 4 hours and it was a good afternoon for the value. We will definately be back to play the South nine as we played the North and West this past weekend.

The tee boxes were very uneven. The greens have severe burned spots.
The sand traps were shallow with sand - hitting solid dirt just under the surface.
For $10.00 less - it woujld have been decent value.
The club house was nicely supplied and the restrauant had a good menu. Wish they had coke products.
Carts paths were in bad shape - causing above average wear and tear on carts.

I recommend this course to anyone looking to play on Amelia Island....27 holes divided on the 3 9 hole courses....West is Long, North is wide, and South is tight....Love this place

the tees ,fairways and greens were in good condition.
we played with alot of wind and cold that day.
The staff was good and the track played a litte hard.
I liked it. I would recomend to anyone ....and the price was
great!

27 holes and some very challenging. Always a fun round and the staff are very friendly.
the conditions are in good shape for this time of year and well worth the money.
we try to get a round in every week

This course includes three nine-hole layouts: North (shortest), West (long), and South (narrower, tree lined). All are pretty flat; it is an understatement to say the course is not lush. The hole layouts are undistinguished with a handful of exceptions. Dig outs for ponds near completion may help enhance the course's visual appeal. The condition of the course varies during the year but it is never excellent and some areas of the fairways can be sparse most of the time. Many tees are in serious disrepair. Greens are quite slow and at times even shaggy. Mostly it is dirt not sand one finds in the bunkers. The ground around some greens may be loose and spongy making crisp approach shots more difficult. A municipal course with a fee structure that seems high given the facility quality, it nonetheless draws many people to play including locals. Play is moderately fast. Generally speaking, the staff is friendly and helpful although there are exceptions. There are two public courses on Amelia Island and this is not currently the better one.

West & south course offers the toughest challenge. You are require to use precise ball placement.

We played the West and the South courses. They both have improved 100% over the last year. With a little more work, they will be comparable to most of the courses on Amelia Island.

Fernandina Beach has three nines--each with its own personality. The North Course is probably the favorite, fun, straight forward, and a great nine to play with wife or family. The West is a long-hitter's nine to play with the guys, and the South is my favorite--a 'target' course, with trouble & just long enough to provide a good challenge.

I've played dozens of rounds at FBGC and have enjoyed it each time.
