Fernandina Beach Golf Club's North and West nines were designed by Tommy Birdsong, a Florida-based architect known for routing courses through challenging native terrain. The two nines form part of the club's full 18-hole layout on Amelia Island, situated in the northeast corner of Florida near the Georgia border. The course takes advantage of the island's natural topography, incorporating maritime hammock, wetlands, and the characteristic sandy soil of the coastal region. Birdsong's design emphasizes strategic shot-making over length, with routing that requires players to navigate water hazards, native vegetation, and elevation changes typical of the area. The North and West nines feature a mix of hole lengths and configurations, balancing risk-reward opportunities across par-4s and par-3s. The setting reflects Amelia Island's natural landscape, with live oaks, palmettos, and native grasses framing the fairways. Fernandina Beach Golf Club maintains a membership-oriented character focused on the local community and visiting golfers seeking a genuine Florida course experience. The club's location on Amelia Island places it within a region rich in golf history, though the North and West nines themselves represent a more contemporary approach to design within that landscape. The course serves as a secondary or complementary layout for the area's golfers, offering a different routing and strategic challenge than the island's other established venues.
