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.

Improving
The rough is still a pile of raw dirt, some of the fairways are poor, some are not that bad, bunkers are getting to be more consistent, and greens are very good. Overall it shows significant improvement over last January, but it still has a long way to go to warrant paying more than $25-30 a round.
South Nine in Poor Condition
We walked 18 holes on the West and South nines. The par 37 West features three par 5 holes. It's in reasonable condition and is fairly open. The South Nine has too many places of very rough tee boxes and inconsistent turf.
Awesome setup
First ever time playing this course highly recommend playing here friend and I played yesterday March 3rd and it's a very well kept course conditions were nice little breezy but to be expected, layout is a bit challenging but foe the most part very fun to play. We will definitely play again
Winter Golf
Very nice muni. Enjoyable to play with good greens.
It's coming
Compared to 6 months ago it's slowly getting better. Needs more attention throughout and it will become a true gem
Just go somewhere else
For the price, the course is in pretty rough conditions. Being from the north I’m very used to really poor winter conditions, but a lot of my northern courses are in far better condition, and nowhere near the price. Would not recommend.
I Would not play here for free
Went to the “range” and their card reader was dead. So no balls. Was told to play South and then North. The South was by far the worst 9 holes I’ve ever experienced. Fairways looked like they never are taken care of. The greens were filled with sand. Would have been a better option to chip on the green than to put. North was better kept but the greens were still not in good shape. I do not plan to ever play here again.
