West/South at Fernandina Beach Municipal Golf Course
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.

Grinding on the back nine Photo submitted by Doug3188839 on 09/25/2012
The course is still in winter mode but challenging and fun. This is my fifth time playing… so my return is a bit of an endorsement as to the enjoyment factor.
Good to get back in the groove
Played with my wife. 11 am tee time weekday not crowded. Great new carts. Pace was very good. Some bare areas due to winter weather. Still good place to warm up and price is decent
Disappointing.
Could be much better . There have been recent improvements but doesn’t justify current green fees relative to local options
Not great
Nice staff and a good layout but the course is not in very good condition, even for February. Price is good gorwhat you get.
Great potential
The west and north courses were in pretty good shape. The south course needs time. South just needs to shut down so it can fully bounce back. I grew up playing these courses, so I know they can be great. You can see the great design and potential as you play, they just need some TLC. Staff are great and the range is top of the line.
Sub par experience
Course in extreme winter condition. Bare fairways and sanded greens. Though they rolled well, and were very playable Dated clubhouse
Sad greens
The course was nice and fairly easy for all levels but the greens are in very bad shape, The golf carts are very nice as well as the bathrooms
Struggling
I just arrived from Canada and wanted to get some practice before the round. Yes they had a top tracer but I likely have never paid that much per ball anywhere/ anytime. I was scrambling to my tee as I only had 30 minutes.
Ended up playing alone as my group had left early as there was no starter and the pro shop had no control.
The tees were awful and the fairways worse.
No real value for money. They only exist as they are the lowest priced alternative on the island.
