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
Good public golf course for North Florida.
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.
Course was in good shape for a municipal course. Value for the play was great. We will definately be back and will play the South Course next time.
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.
Below average municipal course
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.
This is our main course to play and Love it
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 course was challenging yet fun
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!
good bang for the buck!
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
Needs maintenance attention to tees, greens, and bunkers.
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.
Good
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.
Great Muny for Friends and Family
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.
Nice layout but need to get it together
Had two flow groups ahead. Tees are terrible. Greens are slick as glass. Booked threesome but called in morning to add player and was told spot was booked but no one was put with us when we played!
