Par 72

Slope 118
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.

Needs maintenance

Course seems to lack sufficient staff and resources to maintain it to a reasonable standard. No starter most days. No marshalls to keep play moving. Traps lack sand( only thin layer. ) Quite a few fairways lack complete grass cover( bump the ball for any type of lie. Nice staff

Poor Course Conditions

This course has 3 nines, north, south and west. I played North followed by West. The tee boxes were in good condition, the fairways were terrible and the greens just slightly better. The West 9 was a little better then North but not much. Didn’t play South but I was told it is worse than North and West.
Too bad, a beautiful location. With a little TLC and some irrigation it could be a very nice course.

Getting better

North Course was in nice shape. South fairways are still in poor condition.
Need top soil and a plan to rehab on a hole by hole basis. Layout is great.
Need topsoil and grass planted to recover the South Course.

Fast greens, but no grass on the fairways

They had nice, fast greens, but that's it. The course was dirt and weeds. A lot of the tee boxes were uneven, and had little to no grass

Needs Help

This course has really gone downhill. What used to be a cheaper, OK course has really fallen apart. Tee boxes are uneven as they come. Fairways have tons of mud, more than they have grass. Cart paths are rough, really rough. Carts do not run well.

USED TO BE A GOOD COURSE FOR THE MONEY UNTIL THEY RAISED THEIR RATES

I love the 27 hole design; however, the management company has not done a very good job of fixing the glaring issues with course maintenance nor has the city of Fernandina Beach with funding. The new
60 dollar rate is ridiculous for the condition of the North, West and South courses.. Most fairways are missing grass in a majority of the holes and omg the greens; go ahead and add a stroke to how bad they actually are with all the dead, missing or weeded grass. Keep your 60 and go to the river or north Hampton.

Dont bother

Registered as single. Group i was matched with wanted to play without 4th, starter let them? I had to wait two more groups. Round took over 5 hours and 20 minutes. I watched two groups in front of us, too many should not have been on a course, couldn't advance the ball. No ranger to move groups along.

Course was in awful shape. Thankfully the weather was great. I canceled my Sunday t time. A very unpleasant experience.
