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.

A great day!

The course Is in good shape, the greens are nice! We play once or twice a week, the course is not easy or difficult. I play around at different courses, for the price Windy Habour is great. Try to avoid the peak hours, slow play is the weekend norm.

It's named this for a reason. The course was in "fine" shape and the price was great! Well worth it and it's a definite on my list whenever I'm in town.

Very busy

I enjoyed the round. The weather was sunny and the course dry so I got some roll. Some holes are a challenge but there are areas to bail out. There were a lot of people so the pace of play was slower than I expected for a Friday. You need a special pass obtained ahead of time to get through the gate but I had no delay using it.

Third Class

The staff makes GolfNow golfers feel like third class citizens. No early start, tee off on your tee time only, although others can go ahead. It was a beautiful sun shiny day and No beverage cart on the course. There was no Marshall on the course and we played the back 9 behind a 5some. The course needs some serious TLC, we did play early season but it was in less than desirable condition. I have played many military courses and this was just below middle of the pack maybe beginning of bottom of the list.

Really enjoy playing this course with a great layout.

Lots of positives and only one small negative. Great course with lots of great people who golf at this course. Layout is good and weather is mostly good and pretty windy thus the name, Windy Harbor! The small negative comes if your playing thru golfnow. The original starter was not as accomadating although when they changed the starter, it got much better. Not really a big deal but I couldn't help but noticing this. But all in all it's a great place to play golf with great group of golfers..

Excellent course for the money

It was a windy day at "Windy" Harbor. The course was in very good condition after having absorbed quite a bit of rainfall earlier in the week. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

Great value

The course is in very good condition and was a pleasure to play. They are doing some work on the course to clear some ditches and this will only make the course better. When the work on the clubhouse is completed, the experience will be even better.

Nice course, but pace of play was pretty slow

Enjoyed this course, even though it was a pretty windy day. However, we waited on every hole from #8 on. Ranger came along and said he'd check what was happening ahead, but pace never improved.

Understood they were doing maintenance on the greens at the end of the month (at least some of them); they shouldn't touch 'em.

This course has great features.

I enjoy this course. The course has challenging shots that requires accuracy. They have a par 3 for 185-200 yards that requires you to carry over a pond. I had a great time.
