Challenging, no frills golf course. Usually in good condition and reasonable to play. Not a lot of water.

My first time playing this course and it was a wonderful experience. Very friendly staff not to mention accommodating as we had mistakenly booked a round for one instead of 2. They were able to get the second player on. I left my sunglasses in the cart and when I called back they were able to mail them to me as I live out of town. Beautiful fairways and well maintained tee boxes. The greens were fairly rough due to recent maintenance but I am eager to play here again!

Perfect day at WPGC, great staff and course was in great shape. I look forward to teeing it up again real soon.

Its not a good sign when your ranger comes around more than your beverage cart does. It was not a busy day but for some reason we had the ranger come by on the front and back nine (I am all for them coming around to make sure everyone is experiencing a good time and doing the right things) but we only saw the beverage cart on the 7th hole.... I am sure its just timing but we really could have used some refreshments on the back nine.

Have only been in the Jax area just over a year now. Living in Town Center, this course is very convenient. Have been very impressed with the staffs hospitality & flexibility on tee times. The course does have some minor needs, but for the price point it is top notch! The multiple tees make it challenging to your desire. Overall, it is definitely worth the fee to enjoy a round here!!!

Every time I come here the driving range is always closed. They need to get mats or do something because it’s ridiculous the other courses don’t close there range anywhere near as much. Then we had a cart that alarm would not shut off and we asked if they could send someone to switch golf carts and he sent over the starter who just told us to just deal with it. Definitely not worth the money go to jax beach or queens harbor their way better. EDIT every other course has there range open it seems like your the only course that closes so don’t tell me the fairways wet. Also the puddles on the cart path where 2 feet deep how can you even drive thru them definitely not worth the price

They are no longer adhering to the COVID guidelines and are requiring people to ride together unless you want to pay a premium. I booked a time this morning as a single and was told I had to ride with one of the other guys despite not being from the same household. Typically, you have the option to ask for your own cart to ensure proper social distancing but I was told Id have to pay an extra $10. This tells me they have to extra carts but are trying to monetize safety during the pandemic. I choose not to risk my health and I would recommend folks avoid this place (particularly on busy days/weekends). Check out any of the other wonderful golf courses in the area and avoid here if you want to stay safe while enjoying some golf.

I play this course frequently. Mostly I practice here as they have one of the nicer practice areas (putting and chipping greens) for a public/semi-private course.With COVID happening prices got a little steeper than they already were. Honestly it’s the only reason I give the course 4 stars. The course shape has been great the last few times I have been out. Greens are lush, Fairways are lush and cut, and the rough isn’t too demanding. Course has a fun layout but won’t blow you out of the water. Several holes will have you rethinking club selection for best position as a good course should. If you’re taking a cart out the course can be a bit of an expensive round compared to other courses around the area. Walking is pretty reasonably priced though if you catch them at the right time.All in all I do love the course and the more I’ve played it the more I like it. Just can be tough to stomach the cost occasionally.

Review №18

Played on 8/13 and it was cart path only but the course was bone dry. The driving range was closed because the area was too wet - and they had the sprinklers on. Huh? Other than that the place wasnt too bad. Course was in decent shape, tee boxes/fairways/greens all very good for this time of year. Staff was friendly. Be sure to drive slow on the cart paths or youll need to see Doc Tony when you finish.

Played today 08/09/2021 . How do let payers choose if they play per your rules (T-Times) or play alone and walk and jhld up the players behind him.. I went off @ 7;22 and the single in front of us said he was going to play a lone and that was it. The (Twosome) I played with say that he does that when they play on Mon. Wed and Friday and you (The starter or the club) say (or do) nothing about it. Played all (18) holes and did not see a Cart attendant at all? I have played often at your course and the Staff appeared to be bothered by customers. The course was in good shape with all the rain and the greens were in good condition.

Review №22

The course is in great shape. Greens are rolling very nicely! Staff were awesome. The rough can be tough with the Bermuda grass. The ball sinks into the grass in the rough and it can be tough to see. Be aware that if you go into the trees you may encounter snakes. I saw a big black snake. That was the last time I looked for balls.

Review №24

Have played this course in all seasons. If you can play under $40 it is fair more than that there are way better courses/values. Not a very good layout. But typically decently maintained. Very tough from back tees. Plays much easier from white. But course layout seems to have been created as a home/business layout with the course as the afterthought.There is water on some holes. But rather open so lost balls would be at a minimum other than water.

Review №29

Nothing worse than calling to book a tee time and you get lied to when asking about the current condition of the course. I get it that your course is below average now and you are losing revenue due to that and the pandemic, but at the end of the day integrity is the core principle in golf. Your greens are almost dead and the tee boxes are just beat to death. Your weekday rate of $45 was probably justifiable when the course was maintained properly in the past but now I wouldnt pay more than $30 a round here. You may have gotten my money this time due to your dishonesty, but you lost me a a customer for any future tee times.I would not recommend Windsor Parke at all mostly due to the poor course conditions. The other issue is dishonesty from the golf instructor who booked my tee time claiming the course is in great condition. He said he was just on the course the day before with a client.

Review №31

This course wasnt terrible. Tee boxes are well played. Kinda narrow in places but a really enjoyable layout. The pace of play was absolutely awful. I sat behind a gentleman who absolutely refused to let me or any of the groups on the tee box to play through. It took me 2 and a half hours to play through 9 holes.. it was a single player. Thats not normal is it? I will not return any time soon.

Fairways and greens are in good shape as always but what has happened to the sand traps?? Like playing off hard dirt, sand almost non existent. For the price $66 the sand traps could be better maintained.

Review №33

We played this 3 times in a week because we liked it so much even though others were closer. Well kept and beautiful. What we liked the most is the wide fairways and large greens. It is a great course to practice your game without getting extremely frustrated. Very forgiving but still has plenty of bunkers and water to be challenging. The course is tucked into the trees so it is very peaceful and serene. They let us play 2 person golf all 3 days. The pace of play is perfect.

Review №35

My wife and I played this course on 6/29/18. What a pleasure!! We are getting back into the game and were looking for a more challenging course than our usual 9-hole. Upon arriving, we were greeted by the cart staff which took our bags and directed us to the main entrance. The atmosphere inside the clubhouse is one to be expected at a golf course. We were welcomed into the pro shop and upon checking in for our tee time, were given a brief description of the layout and policies for the course. Upon reaching the starter, we checked in and were told we were a little early but we were cleared to tee off whenever.Challenging course but beautiful!! Saw the beverage cart 3 times during our round which was nice due to the heat on the course.After our round the cart staff again greeted us and offered to wipe our clubs down and then stored our clubs while we went to the clubhouse to settle up.Over all an great experience and we look forward to playing again, even becoming members!!!

Review №38

Windsor Parke Golf Club: The back-9 of this excellent Arthur Hills layout is a real joy to play. Residential properties are discretely tucked behind the tree-lined fairways, two of which are also dangerously lined with water from start to finish. This is one of the best courses in the Jacksonville area.

Nice course. Greens rolled better than they looked. Played 18 on Monday morning at 10:30 for 41.00/person. Bunkers had a strange type of sand that seemed to compact much more than what used to in KY. Stay out of the bunkers and the sands not a problem right? Only wished wed played earlier as it was miserably HOT the first nine, the almost unbearable the back nine. Would definitely play it again if back in JAX.

Played yesterday the course was in terrible shape, every green had some disease in it, the cart paths were the worst I’ve seen. The $34 fee was a joke, it should’ve been $10. I will never play there again, it was a typical Brown Golf property🤬🤬🤬🤬

Review №43

Played here this morning (6/15/19). The starter and clubhouse staff are extremely rude and arrogant about the quality of this course. Every green was a 50: 50 grass:sand ratio. Starter the the handlebar mustache was very pushy about the start times. If youre going to charge $50 to play this course then I will take my time starting off. Speaking of $50, if they think this course was worth that for a round, they are joking themselves. But obviously the joke was on me because I was already committed to playing here, unfortunately. The layout is slightly above average. Hitting out of the one sand trap was like hitting off concrete. I could play at St. Johns for $60, and that course is 4x the quality of this place. 0% change my and my foursome will be returning here. Will play at Brentwood before I come back to this place.

Review №44

Rudest staff ever! That takes a lot since I am in the service industry. Start guy makes you start before your tee time and the group of 4 behind us was stressed out the whole time. The markers for distance were either not visible or overgrown with grass. Thank goodness we got the round in for cheap and I see why. NEVER AGAIN

Review №45

Club was a good value course under the previous owners. Under the current management the fairways and greens are always in relatively poor condition. They seem to be strictly focused on volume. If you want a cheap round of golf at cheap quality that is what you will get here these days. On the plus side the driving range is grass not mats.

Review №47

Save your money. I live right off Hodges so this course is so convienant. Greens are being plugged so its understandable they are in bad shape. Today I had one of the worst golf experiences. I love the game so Im willing to play in 96° weather what Im not willing to do is sit in that weather while a group of 7...yes 7 teenagers with four carts hit 2 balls each. We called the clubhouse multiple times and nothing was done. When we mentioned it again in person after our 5 hour round nothing was done. Bad management of the course in my opinion. People in front and behind us were riding through and leaving. We decided to stay although it ended up being a mistake after after they took about 30 min. on each hole. Also not many coolers of water on the course so be sure to bring some. Half of them were also out of water and this was around 2pm. I have loved the course in the past but this experience will most likely keep me from visiting in the future at least during busier times and recommending others to do the same. Do yourself a favor and visit one of the courses in St. Johns county save some money and a headache.

I have been playing Windsor Parke for right around 25 years. I have seen owners come and go throughout the years. Play the course around 100 times a year. I play other courses from time to time. The staff at Windsor are like family. They are the reason I pretty much only play there. Other courses dont come close. Every course except private course it is always about the bottom line. So the course from time to time get overused. I think it is the most played course in Jacksonville.I would also like to share that I was there on the day Howard Spry was there with his bad experience. He was making the turn and I was just getting ready to start. He was asked to please stay on pace of play. He was at a three hour pace for nine holes. I also witnessed the golf pro Greg try to discuss the idea of pace of play and holding up the rest of the course. He was very respectful. Mr. Spry didnt want to hear any of the conversation and inmediatley went to not wanting people of color at the course. Which is so not the case at Windsor.I also witnessed him push Greg on the 10th tee box. Greg had no choice but to call the police. The police came and spoke with Mr Spry. He was asked to leave and I am sure sign a trespass warning. After a long discussion with the police Mr Spry I guess was arrested. It is a shame because he could have just left and made a decision to not play at Windsor again. It was unfortunate that his co workers could not convince him to let it go.Windsor is a great track with very friendly staff. Enjoy the people and the course.

Review №75

Our tee time was for 11:15and the course pushed us to 11:06. They forced the couple we were golfing with to tee off without us. The starter was extremely rude and mentioned twice how we were late, even though I had a screenshot of the 11:15 tee time I purchased online. There were not sufficient amounts of ball washers or rakes on the sand traps. The course was backed up and had to wait to tee off on almost every hole. We saw the cart girl once on the 2nd hole and then not again until the 18th hole. There was a line 4 people deep and only one person working at the bar, so I didnt even have time to purchase anything at the turn. The course itself was in decent shape but definitely not worth the $46 dollars a person we paid.

Windsor Parke Golf Club is a semi-private, 18-Hole championship golf course designed by Arthur Hills and has been recognized as one of Floridas top 100 courses. Over the years, Windsor Parke has hosted more USGA qualifying events than any other course in the city of Jacksonville; qualifiers for such tournaments as the US Open, US Amateur, US Publinks and US Senior Amateur. It’s also recognized by the NGCOA as a “Beginner Friendly” golf course.There are four sets of tees that play anywhere from 5206 yards for the ladies to 6765 yards for accomplished players. Average players will find the White Tees (6,003) yards a fitting challenge. In the clubhouse, you will find a well-stocked pro shop with a plethora of logoed apparel and a restaurant/lounge area that offers all your favorite clubhouse foods and adult beverages. Windsor Parke is also a good place to tune up your game with great practice facilities, including a targeted grass range that lets you hit every club in the bag as well as putting and chipping greens.This championship layout has Arthur Hills written all over it with its rolling fairways, elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers. Several holes feature forced carries over water, including 3 of the 4 par 3 holes and a couple of par 4s. That doesn’t include carries that macho golfers will encounter when they try to reach the par 5 greens in two.Off the tees, the fairways are fairly easy to find, however several approach shots leave little room for error. For the most part, greens are fairly level with subtle undulations. As always, greens in regulation often equate to good scores. Hills also had some fun with green complexes, as can be seen from the devilish little pot bunkers around the 8th green. Here are a few of the favorites:Pro’s Pick: Number 4: Par 4, 388 yards (Blue Tees). A dogleg left that plays 388 yards from the Blue Tees and features water all down the left side and strategically placed bunkers on the right in the landing area. If you’re not overly long off the tee, these bunkers are a great aiming point. A decent drive will leave you about 150 yards downhill to a green protected on the left by water.Member’s Favorite: Number 6: Par 5, 533 yards (Blue Tees). This long, straight par 5 has trees framing both sides of the fairway. The creek that crosses the fairway just in front of the green makes this a three-shot hole for most players. Par is a good score here.My Favorite(s): Three finishing that will really test your mettle. Number 16 (par 4, 426 yards) features a narrow fairway with water all down the left side and trees lining the right. The green is protected by a large bunker on the left. Number 17 (par 5, 531 yards) is a carbon copy of 16, only 100+ yards longer and has more bunkering around the green. Number 18 (Par 4, 351 yards) requires a tee shot over water to a wide-open fairway and then an approach shot over more water to an awaiting green protected on the left by water. Par or better on these last three holes usually means a good score.Windsor Parke is one of the best values I came across during my visit to the Jacksonville area, especially when you consider it’s an Arthur Hills layout. Members I spoke with had nothing but good things to say about what Brown Golf has done with the facility since acquiring it in 2015. They continue to make improvements to both the course and the clubhouse.Memberships are available at Windsor Parke and include unlimited golf and use of all practice facilities with a discounted range plan, reciprocal play at all other Brown Golf facilities and a reciprocal membership at Julington Creek Golf Club.

I showed up as a single to golf. They booked me with a guy named Roger - we had alot of fun and I enjoyed his company. The staff was extremely friendly. We had two patches of heavy rain - the course drained very nicely. The course otherwise, was in excellent condition - I would reccommend this course if you are looking for a challenging and well kept course. Oh by the way, I shot an 89 and Roger shot an 80. The clubhouse was not that inviting but functional. Glad I was there - on my way back to Ann Arbor-----afetr our family reunion. GEW......
