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.

Grass conditions have improved dramatically compared to last season.

Very impressive

The course was in beautiful condition. The fairway grass was a bit long but playable. Early on, hole number three sprinkler was malfunctioning and completely drenched the green(underwater) and the surrounding traps. Had to call the general manager to get it shut off. Other than that we had a wonderful time and will definitely play there again. CB

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.

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.
