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.

Grounds keeping

Good experience but the tee boxes were not kept good and most greens were very rough. Keep in mind this was early spring and would enjoy playing again to see if the course changes with the season.

I have been playing this course over 20 years now and as far as course conditions go, it has really not gotten any better, or worse for that matter, than in the past. It is a small local course, with relatively low rates (Hot Deal $29.99 incl cart), for an 18 hole outing on the golf course. Golf.shop staff always friendly, check-in easy, and starter friendly and somewhat flexible on tee off time (based on availability of course).
One thing worthy of note are new power carts, nicer than my private course at home.
I did not have a chance to try F&B, but in the past it has been fine. Washrooms and clubhouse always neat and tidy.
Worth noting if you don't wish to play a round is their excellent new indoor/outdoor range facility.
I will return.

The course was in better shape than when we played last May but still needs a lot of work. The greens while mostly filled in with grass had numerous weeds which made putting more challenging. I will continue to play this course because it is a challenging layout, reasonably priced and the new management is making progress to returning it to good shape.

Don’t waste your money

Played here for the first time and will not be returning . Course layout is awful. The greens are by far the worst I have ever seen with different grass growing throughout all of them . The guy in the office at check in was nice . But park ranger and other staff were horrible . If you’re not 65 years old and a member they treat you as if you’re completely stupid . The group behind us called the ranger on us for driving 15 feet from the green. The park ranger came out to us and scolded us for 10 minutes and threatened to kick us out , he acted as if we were playing at tpc sawgrass when in reality this course is a dollar general compared to the nicer courses I’ve played and for 50$ it was a huge waste. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
