Rating 72.6

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.

Check in the box Golf Round

Played the course for the 1st time to check it off my bucket list. The price of the round of golf was overpriced in my opinion for the course conditions. However, I did enjoy the layout of the course and the pace of play. Would play the course again if the price was lowered due to the greens and fairway conditions.

The course was starting to look good the last time I played it. This time..not so much. Usually the South course is in pretty good condition, but this time it was pretty ruff.

A bit slow

I have played here before and barely run into people who are walking the course. This time, there were 2 groups in a row that were walking. Surprised this was allowed on a Friday afternoon especially around spring break.

Not what I expected

This is March and course was in similar condition Putting Green, had no surface tee boxes not great as were fairways-not much grass. Greens were aces and spaces. Enjoyed the layout.

Very friendly staff all around.

Fernandina Beach GC

We played the North-South courses. I've heard may things about "The City" course for a few years under new management. I've been on Amelia Island for nine years and had never played here because of the reputation of being bad. My opinion: Is the course is "pretty good". The North course, not so good; greens were bumpy and bad in places. The tees were horrible and fairways unkept. It is winter. That is the bad news. The good; the South course was very good. The greens were nice, true and very little damage, the were tees OK, and the fairways sparse. However, the layout is Great! The South course is fun to play. Like I said before, it is winter in north Florida and conditions are not perfect anywhere. This golf course could be very good with consistent maintenance, investment into tees and bunkers and trimming and cutting back trees. I will play the course again throughout the year hoping for the winter conditions to improve and the management reads this and makes a few changes. It is certainly worth playing here. The cost is not bad. $70 on Golf Now. Everything else on Amelia Island is private, or expensive.

Reluctant

I was concerned when no one was booking this course, the layout is good but the course needs work. Tee boxes need to be leveled and grass, fairways rock hard, greens hit and miss

The price should be lowered until the course has recovered

My biggest complaint, on the south course a group behind us hit into us several times a ranger would have helped it’s rude idiots that take away from enjoying the round

Horrible Conditions

I have frankly never seen a course in such bad shape. They had difficulty finding my reservation and then when they found it, they had trouble seeing that I had pre-paid for it.

Improvement noted!

They have definately made some improvements to the conditions. Trees trimmed, greens were much improved, fairways too. Pace was ridiculously bad. Waiting 15 min to tee off kn each can really have a negative impact. I actually gave up and went back to the clubhouse after a few holes. I can't take 6 gours to golf a round, and at that pace probably longer.

The condition of the course was horrible. Yes, we have gone through a rough winter but the course looks like no one ever paid any attention to it. What a shame.

Pretty nice

Staff was great. Pace of play wasn't bad for the line up of golfers. The course was in as good of condition as could be expected considering the weather that they had. Greens were in really good condition. No cart person was a minus as it was pretty warm and could have used some beverages. Bathrooms on course were in God condition and clean. Overall it was a very enjoyable outing.
