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.

Windy Harbor lives up to its name

It was windy but with the heat it helped to make it tollerable. Shot the best round of the year with a 76 on 7/6! The heat has made some greens a little spotty, buth tees, fairways and rough are all in great shape.

Great course for the price

We really like this course! The conditions are always good and the price is unbeatable. Greens are always in good condition. Pace of play can be slow since this is on the navy base. Great food at the clubhouse and the carts have coolers!!!

Good Bang for the Buck

This is a nice little "muni" style course. They have some great rates on the weekdays, making this a good value for the price. The course is only about 6300 yards, but is quite enjoyable. Right now the greens are over-seeded and are in better condition than other courses I have played in the area. The course does get soggy, so going after a rain can be messy. Also, you need your MWR card.

Chance to play

It had rained the day before. Number one was cart path only and others very damp but playable. It was windy which added to the difficulty. We had a good and enjoyable round.

A real bargain

The course is in better shape than any course I've played this fall. People were friendly & although busy, play moved well. The course lives up to it's name, especially when the sea breeze kicks in.
If you don't have your MWR card it will be well worth your efforts to get one. You can't beat Last minute Golfer's (Golf Now) price. $10,00 for 18 holes with cart is a true bargain.

My goto course

Great course and accordingly, my goto.
FYI for management attention (simlple points):
1) trouble spots with pace of play need to be addressed. One beginner twosome can slow down 17 groups of play making for a bad day of golf. The message usually gets to the shop pretty quickly but action seems absent.
2) absolutely no fivesomes please!
3) beverage cart service is random and on a 98 degree Saturday afternoon can mean serious dehydration and heat exhaustion. To that, the water stations are also random and not secured by lock. I did witness a player accessing the water container, removing the lid and dipping his cup and hand into the container to get ice.
4) bathrooms in and outside of clubhouse- very sub par for any facility, maybe compare to a state road gas station.

Positives otherwise way outweigh all of the above, I love the place.

First Time Playing

Very nice course.

The course staff was kind. The course itself was very clean and cut. Some of the holes although, were confusing at times. The maps on the sculptures did not help as much.

Some of the players were stating that they should put up some type of netting by the back 9. And maybe a small fence around that pond with the gator.

All in all I will definitely golf a few times a month or when I get a chance! The price was very good !!
