Windy Harbor Golf Club

Windy Harbor is almost always in excellent condition despite having a few holes on low ground and getting the occasional downpour. It is a fun layout and if you get the frequent 15 MPH plus breeze it will make you hit every club in your bag and challenge the best players despite its shortness. Bob Kelly, the super has done a great job making this a consistently well manicured layout for over 20 years!! Getting a Hot Deal makes it all even better!

This course is in amazing shape and I'd give it 5 stars throughout but there is one exception. The lady running it. Golf Now users are treated as second class citizens and looked down upon because we don't pay full price when using the hot deals. And although I'm active military and have 100% access to the base because I'd rather pay $17 and not $35 they have no time for us. On this occasion, we were at the course an hour and a half early, nobody teed off but when the golf now users were there they bunched all the groups together, if they don't like golf now, why have the course on the app?

Have played numerous rounds since the mid 80's. Course is in super shape. Really enjoying play it.

The course is in excellent shape. Staff friendly and professional. My only complaint no cart person on course to buy refreshments!

Enjoyed the course, layout was fun alittle tough first time because of some blind tee shots but holes are laid out on score card. Greens are the best I've seen so far in Jacksonville

Great cheap golf. Payed under $40 for me and my son (14). Only down side was a foursome in front of us decided to stop and eat lunch at the course restaurant, and then hop back in slowing up play on the back nine. The fairways are tight on the back 9. There are greens next to tee boxes and balls flying everywhere when it was crowded. I wanted to try it, nice to play somewhere new. I'll stick with my home course though.

We've played Windy Harbor a few times now as we have MWR cards - must have for civilians! The course has always been in good shape, especially the greens. We've never seen rangers on the course though or beverage carts. The restrooms both on and off the course are pretty rough but the pro shop is great and grill is fine, nothing special but this is a military course. The green fees are outstanding for the course conditions. The front 9 is tricky with a few blind doglegs and back 9 is more straightforward.

This course was inside of a military base and requires military pass or background check to access. This was not brought to my knowledge until I showed up to the gate. To access this coarse it requires a background check that can take up to 3 weeks per the pro shop.

The coarse may be nice but I feel like this should have been made more apperent especially for people that are on vacation and not familiar with the area. We had to skip our reservation and rebook else where.

This is a great course, it rewards good shots. You will use most clubs in your bag if not all. Greens are well maintained and roll true.. I have played NAS Jax and they do a nice job there also, but overall this course is more challenging...

The usual golf etiquette, arriving at least 30mins. Prior to 01:43 tee time. Nobody else is at the 1st tee of the course but our 4some and one walker (who started on the 10th tee). No one else but a total of 5 of us on the whole course, we were held up and not allowed to tee off even a minute early than our 01:43 tee time!!! I don't understand the logic. Either the starter is biased (we happened to be neither "white nor black") , ignorant or arrogant or all of it! !! Isn't that RIDICULOUS!!!?

A few bad spots here and there and the patches need water. Not a big deal. If you have an MWR card go play it.

It had been a while since I played here and I was pleased with what I saw. All greens were in great shape with the exception of 18. Fairways and tees for the most part were in good shape. Back nine a little more interesting than the front. I would recommend playing this course if you can obtain the special pass to get on the base.
