Windy Harbor Golf Club

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.

Great course, only two complaints!
Very wet on 1,2,3,10,11&12!
Very slow play, need a ranger to help with this!

course wet and needs repair. greens going downhill fast

being seniors and not long hitters the course sets up fairly for us from the white tees.

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.

First time playing this course. Did not get to finish because of rain but will definitely come back. The course is well maintained and the staff is super friendly.

Course in very good condition considering the amount of rounds that are played there.

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

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.

Greens perfect, fairways weedless and well mowed, roughs appropriately mowed and also weedless.

Very nice and fun course. The greens are great. Never to many people playing during the weeks

This is a very nice open and forgiving course that you will enjoy playing. For a Military Base they do a very nice job on maintainence and have a nice well stocked Pro shop (Tax Free). There is also a nice restaurant connected to the Pro shop and have nice meals for breakfast & lunch. The fee for golf is very good on your pocket book too! A cart girl will take care of you're needs on the course. You will surely enjoy playing this course and will return to play again.

Generally well maintained. Greens in nice condition. Make sure you identify yourself as GolfNow customer when checking in with starter. Starter offered us an earlier tee time, and then pro shop told us that since we were GolfNow, we could only golf at the assigned time due to pricing policy. A bit of miscommunication before we even got on the course. There aren't any rangers on the course, so you can easily get stuck behind golfers with slow play or hitting extra balls during play.

Course was in great condition considering all of the rain lately. First time playing there, but was very impressed. The best Military course I have ever played and I spent 26 years in service.

Great staff; very friendly and helpful.

Good breakfast and lunch and NOT private club priced. I will definitely return to Windy Harbor.

I can't give it 5 stars because it just isn't Augusta National or ready for a U.S. Open, BUT it is almost always in excellent condition and fun to play. Wind adds greatly to it's challenge and interest. Greens are medium speed, but since they don't roll them, scalp them and starve them of water, they always have a nice grass cover and roll true.

Greens are perfect, course is maintained very nicely. Great value and friendly staff.

Windy Harbor Golf Club, located on Naval Station Mayport is a great example of a club that combines a laid back atmosphere, interesting layout and affordability to produce an above-average golfing experience. That is, if you can get there. To play, you’ll need a military ID or a buddy who has one. Unless you are active duty or retired, good luck, but maybe this review will provide some incentive to befriend a soldier, sailor or airman so you can take advantage of military courses.

Well maintained and pace of play is usually good. Cart girls very friendly & attentive.

I had not played this course since the mid 90's. the renovations made in 2000 have changed the routing and playability of this course dramatically. Though it remains a relatively short course, there are still some long par 4's that play into the prevailing winds to give the average golfer quite a challenge in reaching the greens in regulation. I found the course to be in fairly good condition as opposed to when I played on active duty. The fairways are lush and full and the greens provide a smooth putting surface with true rolls. If you haven't played Mayport in a while, I hardily recommend giving it a try. I think that you will like it.

Only negative is the condition of most of the bunkers. New sand is badly needed. However, greens are A + and relatively user friendly.
