Great course to play. It becomes a bargain after 3:00 pm when the late afternoon fees begin. I paid 27.50 which includes the cart. The best hole is the 605 par five on the West course. This is a challenge for the seniors and short hitters. The course is right off the beach so there is a great breeze blowing all the time. This is a great course for exercise if you want to walk. But the price is the same whether you walk or ride.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

I've played this course each time I've been to Fernandina. It's a fun course especially if you play the North and then the South Course which has a 600 yard par five. Also it's best to play after 1:00 pm when the price drops $15.00 below the regular price. That makes it a much better course to play. The fairways and greens were in better than average condition, but they were very hard. Your ball rolled long and far on both. the greens were not that fast but they are small and the ball does not have to go far to roll off. Hardly no one was out there when I played and with 27 holes they can manage the people easily. I've never had to wait playing there. Worth the time and money.

I did it agian. This is becoming an annual event. I like this course. This year I played from the geezer tees, but it was still 5900 yards long. I did not get to play the 600 yard par five, but it is still there and pretty tough.

The temp was in the high 80's but the 0cean breeze made it feel more like the 70's. Great time of the year to play. The greens and fairways were well cared for and the rough is very rough. The greens are all small and most bunketred on the right and lefrt. One of them is bunkered every where except for a narrow entrance to the right of the green. So if you hit it down the moddle and can't make in on in regulation, you better play it down the right side or else you are hitting over a very large and long bunker to the green.

Great vacation course becausae it is good for your ego. Shot an 88 and am usually aq mid 90's guy. They also have new special evening rate that begins at 3:00 pm. - $24.00 and that includes a cart and that is every day of the week. Monday through Sunday. That is great. From the championship tees. This baby is almost 6,700 yards. Once you play, you will be back. All the pople with the course are very nice and easy to deal with.

Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy

This course has to be vacation worthy because I just played it on my vacation again. Great time. Great fun. My twosome did the course in 3 hours. Played the North and West courses. The North's still had a lot of sand on them from a recent sanding, but it wasn't a problem. The West greens were excellent. A little soft from the recent rain, but looking great. Still have not pared the 607 yard second hole, but getting close with a 6. The cost was only $20 bucks after 4 o'clock. that included a cart. The rough was up a little from the recent rains, but still very manageable. Enjoyed ourselves and will continue to come every year, at least until I par the second hole on the West course. Good course, good time and good fun.
