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.

Great course but pretty full

I have mixed feelings - these are by far the nicest course conditions I've played in Florida. Sweet, fair greens and fairways although the layout isn't very interesting.

The negative is that as others noted - if you landed a HotDeal you're not as welcomed. You're going to be grouped with others who made that deal and expect a slow 4 hour round.

Thats lessening my rating a bit on an otherwise great golfing experience

Great course on military base, fun

After a full day of rain on Thanksgiving the course was fully soaked, cart paths only. It also lived up to it's name, Windy Harbor. As the round was being played the weather became sunny and perfect. Had it not been so wet the course would have been a great play. The course conditions are in good shape. I will play again and again.

Enjoyable (but)

Having worked at a golf resort and knowing the PGA "recommends" a 4 hour pace of play...... I take exception to a ranger asking us to "step it up" because there was a single and a threesome behind us. He continued to monitor us for the next few holes which I considered to be unnecessary and annoying. We were playing within the guidelines of the PGA, why not "encourage" the single to join the threesome if he didn't like waiting? It made an enjoyable outing a bust!

Terrific greens

Best greens you will play at any public course you will play. Soft on your approach shots and most fairways in good shape. Not a hard course but has some challenges and especially when there is wind.

You don't get conditions like this at this price anywhere else in Jacksonville

Windy Harbor is not Augusta National, but you not only get to play Windy Harbor but it's affordable and one of the best maintained courses in town! It's not long, but when the wind blows 15-20 MPH it will give you all you want, especially on the back nine.

I'd like to keep it a secret!

This is one of the little known gems among Jacksonville golf courses. No, it doesn't have a dramatic piece of land, majestic trees or stunning vistas, but it's a good solid little course that has some teeth especially when the wind blows. It is almost always in great condition; I would even say perfect, if more players would help out the greens staff a little more by sanding their divots and repairing ball marks. Just don't tell too many people!!

Great course for the money. You must be military, retired military with a card, escorted by a sponsor or have your mwr card to get access in the base to play.
