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.

Surprisingly good

Haven’t played here in a while because it was in poor shape for so long. Booked it cause I needed a quick round in before a golf trip. Course was in very good shape. Greens were curing from a recent punching ,but rolled good. It’s good to see the progress Agro is making.

If you haven’t played FB recently you should check it out.

Fun course with potential

This is a fun course with a lot of potential. They do seem to be working on some things (tee boxes) but the fairways are decent and the greens do play fairly true and not bumpy like other courses for the same value. Looking forward to the TopTracer range to open soon! Will definitely be going back.

Very unfriendly pro shop & poor rental clubs

Very, very unfriendly guys in the pro shop x2. No smiles, no welcome & absolute minimum of information given and only on request. The rental clubs are very old and poor quality - you get what you pay for here (v Amelia River which is twice the money but well worth it) although good manners should be free. The course needs work......

OK, but

The course always seems to have one of its three 9 hole segments closed. Why, I have no idea. The overall course is up and down on grass and dirt on the tee boxes, fairways and greens. We try not to play it too often, but always want to just to see if its better than last time - it's not. Sorry, no blame on the staff, etc, because we all know it's a funding issue. The course needs water, needs grass, and a cart attendant, cart girl, and ranger.
