Your Tee Time. Your People. Your Club.

A private golf simulator and hospitality experience in Fernandina Beach — built for good golf, better food, and the people you actually want to spend a night with.

The Idea

This Isn’t Your Average Tee Time

We built a golf simulator and a lounge into the garage at our home in Fernandina Beach, mostly for ourselves. Then friends asked when they could come. Then friends of friends.

One screen. One lounge. One reservation at a time.

At some point it needed a name. The name describes how the place feels, not how big it is.

Look around the Club

One Reservation

Six seats. One group. Nobody else on the list.

One Group at a Time

When You Book, We’re Closed.

One group at a time is not a limitation we work around. It is the whole design. For the length of your reservation the door does not open for anybody else.

The Experience

Four Things That Happen Here

01 · PLAY

Eighteen Holes Without Leaving the Chair

Full rounds, range sessions, closest-to-the-pin when the group needs a scoreboard. Formats that let very different handicaps finish the same night on speaking terms.

02 · WATCH

The Game Stays On

Put the round on one screen and the game on the other. Saturdays in the fall are the busiest thing we do, and that is not an accident.

03 · EAT

Nance Cooks

Cookies, brownies, and warm shareable things when there is a game on. Homemade, made that day, which is also why there is no fixed menu.

04 · STAY AWHILE

Why People Book Two Hours and Stay Three

The lounge faces the screen and the music is whatever you put on. Most groups stop keeping score somewhere in the second hour.

    Come for the golf. Stay for whatever Nance made.

    See what’s cooking

    Made that morning, out of a home kitchen, and gone by the second hour.
    Water, sparkling water, sodas, coffee and tea are already cold. Nobody is running a tab.

    Amenities

    Everything in the Room

      Japanese-inspired details, throughout. Quiet ones.
      A properly considered washroom. People bring it up unprompted.
      Bring your clubs, or use ours. Either is fine.

          The First Members Get to Shape It

          Membership is not required to reserve — anyone can book the Club in advance. The founding list is for the people who want first access to the calendar and a say in what this turns into.

          Terms and pricing are still being worked out. Joining the list is free and commits you to nothing.

          Fernandina Beach

          A Fernandina Beach Club, in the Literal Sense

          Amelia Island has real golf and we are not pretending to replace it. What we have is the room you want when the weather turns, when the game matters more than the round, or when six of you want to be somewhere that is not a restaurant.

          Fernandina Beach, Florida. A private club by advance reservation. We share the address the way you’d share it with a friend — once you’re on the list.

          When We’re Open

          No walk-ins. The Club holds one group at a time.
