West/South at Fernandina Beach Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

This Course is much improved! I was impressed with the conditioning. Used to call it a cow pasture, no longer. Tees, fairways and greens are much improved. Only criticism is the greens very slow. Enjoyed my round!
Played at the spur of a moment
I’m retired but have a part-time job of 15 to 20 hours weekly. I just happened to look at the T off.com app and saw the
Tee time available at 11:52. I quickly finished what I was doing and headed to the Golf Course. I played with two vacationers from North Carolina and had an absolutely good time.
The greens were good, the fairways were a little above average, and the tee boxes were good.
Had a great experience and have been playing this golf course off and on for 45 years.
Great course. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.
Very challenging. Need to use some course management to get around this course.
Great day.
Had a great day out on the course! I was paired with an older gentleman whose game was similar to mine, which really helped keep a good pace of play. The course itself was in excellent condition, and the staff were friendly and professional. The level of difficulty was just right—challenging but fair—and well worth the price. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a solid round of golf.
Great public course at Amelia. In fact excellent shape.
Greens tee boxes and fairways were in excellent shape. The tees might have been cut a little high but maybe because of all the rain. All in all the course was excellent. Greens weren’t fast but were pure and rolled fairly smooth. Played the west and south nines. Only thing I noticed not great was the rough on side of some fairways was really grown up and had weeds. Other than that is definitely play it again. Worth the drive up from Jax.

I’ve been playing this course for almost thirty years and it’s probably in as good of shape as I can remember.

I have been coming to Fernandina Beach for vacation since 1987. At that time Fernandina Beach Golf course was the place to play. Over the years three golf course were built, that gave Fernandina Beach Course competition. During that time the quality of Fernandina Beach declined.
I played it today. It was in the best shape I have seen it in twenty years.
Do yourself a favor and play Fernandina Beach Course. You will not be disappointed.
