West/South at Fernandina Beach Municipal Golf Course

I’ve played this course course multiple times and plenty of other courses around a 60 mile radius. Not sure what has happened in the past year, but this course has extremely suffered from the lack of proper management. The course was in horrible condition and the pace of play was managed poorly as well. There was a 7some holding up the entire course and they didn’t let anyone pass. A couple people behind us even quit. The layout is great, but it needs some serious investment as it’s starting to become more of an eye sore.

This is a fun, reasonable place for a muni course. Kudos that they are repairing the South 9, which in my opinion is better just for the variety versus the North and West’s almost straight line fairways. They do appear to book 7 minute apart Tee times and can be frustrating because it backs up the course. This last round we had to wait 30 for a cart. In my humble opinion 10-12 minutes apart would be better. I prefer walking this course and have done so many times. I’m reviewing now because they are attempting to improve its standard of play and repair some damaged areas.

No fairways to speak of, tee boxes are anything but grass, poorly maintained and the list goes on. Its conveniently located near the beach but that's about it. Not worth the money, even for residents.

North and West is in good shape. South needs to be shut down for renovation. If South covers to a par 3 course, I'll no longer choose to play at FBMC.

The West and North Courses are better of the three. South Course is just a lost cause at this point. Overgrowth is killing that course and some parts of the West and North. If they can sell the South Course and put the money from that into the West and North then it could be a great course. Trees need to be trimmed back or removed so the fairways can get sunlight so they aren’t so bare.

Course was in very good shape on west/north course

This could be a very nice course,
This course is poorly maintained,
Grass is sparse on fairway’s, rough is just weeds
Greens are poor also,
This could be a great asset for the city, but they mismanage this course terribly,
You need to have grass on a golf course, not weeds
Would love to see it managed properly

Nice for a muni. Some holes in kinda rough shape but overall not bad.

Pace of play was great, Thats where the good stuff ends. There is very little grass in fairways or tee boxes. Total sand traps all the way to the hole. Bare, naked ground on fairways and tees. The grass that IS growing is weeds. Greens werent the BEST.. but very good compared to the rest of the course. I took a chance based on price and now i know why it wasnt very busy today. Yardage markers on one of the 9's seemed VERY off from actual distance. The city needs to either put money in this place or build more condos. The current state of course is just plain bad.

This Golf course is your typical public "city" golf course. The layout is good, it's never truly crowded, and the course is in OK condition. I would like to see the tee boxes and fairways fixed up a bit. For the price we play it's difficult to tee off when the tee box looks like a mine pit, feet are always uneven, or the tee box is like a mountain peaking at the middle.

Course seems to be in great shape and the range has been re-done since I visited last.
