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.

NO RAIN CHECK

Played 11 holes when the rain started. Was told that because the round was “discounted” there would be no rain check.

Fun track with several wide open fairways

We played hare in late August on a pretty hot day. We were paired with 2 young men who were very friendly, so that made it more fun. The facilities were in good condition, bunkers were ok, and the staff we encountered were helpful. Would play here again!

Wednesday at Windy Harbor

Me and a buddy had a quick round at the Harbor and enjoyed the pace of play and the conditions of the course. The greens and fairways were just about perfect. With this rain we've been having the rough was rough and everything was very green. We've put WH on our course rotation.

Always fun

Windy Harbor is the best value for golf in NE florida. A true test especially when the winds are up making many shots and club selection - 1,2, and even 3 clubs higher or lower. Usually get to play with someone new which can be interesting as well. Speed of play can be an issue also as the skill levels vary and you often will find some beginners and higher handicap groups. But just resign yourself and enjoy yourself. Certainly worth it. And you still have to hit quality shots. Back nine is the tougher of the nines

It’s been a while

A buddy and I just got our MWR cards and wanted to play Mayport for the first time in almost a year. We found the entire course to be in great shape. Greens and fairways were very nice with plenty of grass on the tee boxes. I noticed the ponds had been cleaned up from all their cattails. Everything looked really good, except the putting green. It was still being reworked. Price was a good value given that everyone has raised their prices in the last year or so. Highly recommend if you can get on the base.

Don't Judge The Course By the Practice Putting Green

The course was in great shape - greens were rolling nicely. Unfortunately, WH has not been able to get the practice putting green back to shape but the course was great. Staff is always very attentive and food was awesome (and very reasonably priced)! Pace of play within 4 hours!

Hidden Gem

Great course for all skill levels, all holes were well maintained

Price is lowest around and the restaurant is amazing. New carts with GPS yardage trackers made pace of play much quicker in my opinion. I will be back for sure.
