Windy Harbor Golf Club is a military golf course located at the Mayport Naval Station, it was formerly known as the Mayport Golf Club. The seaside course now takes its name from the blustery ocean breezes that sweep through the back nine. The golf course is narrow with tree-lined fairways and large, fast greens that are slightly sloped. There is also a defined cut of rough beside every fairway. Greenside bunkers and water hazards that come into play on nearly every hole make the course challenging for players of all abilities. Windy Harbor Golf Club also has practice facilities for golfers to use that include a driving range with grass and carpeted practice tees, a practice sand trap, and a large putting green.

Course is always in great condition. Really like the improvements made to several water hazards with the removal of vegetation and new bulk heads. Staff is as friendly as anywhere in town.

No Cart Included now??

Hi, can someone tell me why they have made online Golfnow users who book a hot deal unavailable to use a cart? I have been golfing here for years and it always included a cart. They stopped allowing cars a few mont ago like most every place did but all those restrictions have been lifted and they are using carts now as normal but have disallowed online golf now guests the service of using a cart. Not to mention, every time I golf there are tons of carts not being used. The course isn’t that busy ever since it’s on he navy base but it’s in great sharp and a fun course.

Great Walking Course

Now with golf carts parked until further notice, it's time to stretch the legs and walk. Windy Harbor is a perfect walking course with no long distances between green and tee, apart from 9 to 10 . Carry your bag, or bring your own electric, or push/pull caddy; the club has caddies that can be rented too.

Fun and windy at Windy

Today the challenge was there with a strong wind coming from the NW. Conditions were very much like a Scottish links course on a blowy day. I always different course conditions, it brings in other dimensions to the game.

I love everything about this place except...

This sounds really picky (and I guess it is) , but the men’s room at Windy Harbor is unbelievably gross at times. Some better ventilation, (or industrial strength air fresheners) and a good old USN “Field Day” cleaning would do wonders.

Everything else is great and it is one of the best values in golf!
