Great course for the money
I only played the front 9. Very fun layout on the front. It was extremely windy, which made the course very penalizing. Course was very dry. Greens were nice, rolled true, average speed. Very good value.
pretty good layout
The pace of play was excellent mainly because there were not very many golfers. The tees need a lot of work as grass is hard to find. Fairway conditions are OK, green conditions were OK. I realize that we are in a drought condition for this area but it still seems that they are not using the sprinklers as they should. The greens fees seem to be a bit expensive for the quality of the course.
We thank you for your feedback. Hopefully we will see you back out here again.
Moving son and a round of golf too
Very friendly staff from check in to the starter Larry who was very helpful in getting a single with someone who has played the course before. Good course enjoyed the round of golf and will play again next time I am in town.
We are very happy to hear you enjoyed yourself. Hope to see you again when you are back in town!
Great North Florida Course
Windsor Parke is one of the better courses that I have played in North Florida. I am moving to the Jacksonville area in a few months from New Jersey and wanted to play a course while I was in town. The staff treats you like you are at a private course and makes it very enjoyable/personable. One of the pros Leslie helped me out as it was my first time playing the course and it was very much appreciated. Dave at bag drop also greeted me and gave me tons of helpful tips throughout the day. I would recommend this course 10/10 times. Just the hospitality alone would keep me coming back.
- Very friendly staff
- First person out
- Free bucket of range balls since it was so early
- Course was in fine shape for mid-March
- There was a lot of water on the course, but there are ample landing areas for playing your shots
- I would play it again
We thank you for coming out. Please come see us again while the weather is perfect!
Golf day out
staff was nice , course was good condition , very nice day of golf
Wonderful to hear! We hope to see your sometime in the near future
Very Enjoyable
It's been awhile since playing here and WIndsor Parke is great fun, in great condition. I don't know why we don't play here more often. THe layout is great, not too long, lot's of water so clearly a challenge for the average golfer. We'll be back!!!
Thank you for the feedback, we will be hoping to see you again soon, the course is in great shape!
Birdie time
North Florida stand by, tough layout but always in good condition.
Thank you for the review, we hope to see you again soon!
Not bad
Not a bad course. Not too hard, although some holes are challenging. A few of them were very narrow, so if you are having trouble with your control like I was some, you may hold your breath a few shots. Everyone on the staff was very friendly and personable, from the pro shop to the snack bar to the kid at the club drop!
We thank you for the kind words, we hope to get you back out here and enjoy this wonderful spring weather!
Tee Time Mixup
The course was fine, but my tee time was changed by the staff as a "member" wanted the time I had booked for my 4some.
After showing them my reservation, to "appease" us (I wasn't showing my fanny, I pointed out that had I wanted to tee off 30 minutes later, I would have booked that time); they gave us 2 buckets of balls for free vs the normal rip-off $9.00.
They hate on-line reservations because it is less expensive than their "card-holder special rates", but that is the nature of the business now so either go private, or honor the agreements.
We apologize for any mix up, we hope you will give us another try to impress.
Not worth it
Staff very rude. No ball washers on the first 6 holes. Missing rakes on the sand traps. Not worth the $46.
Very entertaining layout
I played this course a couple of years ago and was disappointed with course conditions so stayed away until giving it a try again yesterday. I found the course in relatively good conditions. Clearly the work on the greens including overseeing for the winter have produced good putting surfaces overall. Fairways are thin in spots, but for February, no complaints here. Layout remains best feature to this course. Arthur Hill design (he designed private club Palencia and a few others in our area) provides a great variety of holes, some requiring you to pause and think. Staff was very cordial. I will be back. This course is a good value.
We are happy to hear we are heading in the right direction! Come on out and play!
Difficult but fun
Fairways and greens were in great shape, this is a more difficult course due to the many undulations in the fairways you do not usually find on more average courses
Thank you for the review! Course is still in great shape!
Shows it's age
This course was decent, much of the course winds through an old neighborhood in Jacksonville.
Nothing about the course led me to believe it would ever be worth $30+
The conditions were nice, greens were extremely well manicured. Fairways were ok at best.
Nothing to wow here. Personally I would never pay more than $20 to play this course.
Thank you for coming out to play Windsor Parke. We look forward to seeing you out here again soon!
Frank -
We appreciate you playing Windsor Parke Golf Club, and for providing us with your feedback. We look forward to seeing you out here again!
Very nice layout. Some well designed holes. Course is pretty tight. Greens had some bare spots. Greens were slow. The course is properly priced at $35.
Thanks for choosing to play Windsor Parke and for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Our goal is to get all of our greens in top shape and to add some speed as well. We look forward to seeing you out here again!
