Ignore the shill posting good reviews !

No one would give this a decent review. Can’t putt because there’s no real grass on the green. Tee areas are sand and ruts.
The ONlY positive is hot deals can be $11 and there’s a range.
I’m complaining to GolfNow on the repeated positive reviews all from one account - prob the owners

Don’t believe the few reviews that speak of great course for your short game ! There are no greens !! Bare spots, weeds and longer weeds that’s it.

You can play the 9 holes with a hybrid and a nine iron.
Fine bring the putter but you’ll see it’s not even worth it
Snag a hot deal for $10 but don’t waste your $$ on a regular priced round
I keep hoping they’ll fix the tee boxes and greens and keep getting disappointed

Now I’ve seen it all !

Years ago this was an ok pitch and putt type. Not fancy but to work on some irons for 10-12$ we could deal with it.
Starting in 2021 the course became a cow field. Greens overrun with weeds, tee areas 80% sand…
We gave up. Was in the area this week and decided to see if there were improvements. Nope ! But get this - they doubled the price 🤣🤣🤣
Never ever coming back. Not worth $10 let alone $27

Very interesting but overpriced

Free bucket of balls and pristine conditions but even with a hotdeal it’s overpriced by $20 or so. Super nice place to work on the short game esp given 5 of the 12 holes are par 3. But get real for the same price you get 18 on a real par 72 course at Jax Beach
I’ll be back if there’s an outstanding hot deal and I’ve got credits to burn
Oh and there are no 100-150 markers and the cart gps didn’t work

Hard one to review :

Conditions were great though the greens could be a bit more forgiving. What can’t be excluded is the price - if you nab a hot deal for $50 that’s a $75 round given this is only 12 holes. And that’s being generous as 10-12 are just par 3s !
Personally I’d take the old Oakbridge course (when it was being maintained) and it’s 18 holes for under $20.

Great staff reasonable rates

Staff is all you can ask for in terms of friendliness.
The course is tight and some decent shots bounded off into trouble. Course knowledge is key

Hillbilly farm golf

The worst course conditions I’ve ever played on.
Any previous reviews stating otherwise are fraud posts prob from the owners. Sand on tee boxes, sand so deep it was like a trap on several greens.
A shame as years ago this was a decent place to get in some iron work

Windy weather
Used cart

Stay away - a once fine course is now a dump

I've played Windy for 5 years and from time to time there's been some fungus or slight lack of attention in terms of upkeep. In between all that its been a great course at a decent price. Today was shocking - turns out they are shutting down in 4 weeks for course alterations so they just stopped all work short of mowing. The fairways and greens are a mess. The only green is weeds on the greens resulting in bumpy non true putts. Management should be ashamed and cut prices in half until fixed.

Nice place to work on your game

Weekdays it’s quick and while not completely pristine it’s good enough and especially for under $20

Owners are letting the course return to farmland

Sand on tee boxes, deep sand on several greens and various types of weeds on all greens. Really sad little course

Nice time, conditions but overpriced

The rain has helped - greens and fairways as good as I’ve seen there. Tee boxes just ok. The negative is the pricing - used to pay $30 for a hot deal that included a cart - now the only hot deal is 7am and it’d be $67 on a Friday if you needed a cart. Its a fun historic layout but at least $20 overpriced

poor start, middle and finish - I'd stay away

clubhouse attendant informs us they don't honor tee times and to wait in line at the first tee !!
never heard that one befpre but prepaid so no choise.
It got worse. First tee was like teeing off from a sand trap - greens were not rolling true as weeds were long and there were burnt out areas. I agree with a previous post and no one should've been subject to these conditions. Its only $10 but seems like owners just gave up

Stay away until they put some love into it

I’ve been playing here a few times a season for over 4 years now and was shocked at how poor it had become. Very sandy tee boxes so we had to create our own - greens can’t roll true because they’re a mix of heavy weeds and burnt out spots.

Day started out badly when we were informed to go wait in line at the first tee as they don’t honor tee times !
Already paid so we did just that and there were 5 groups on the first two holes. A real shame as this was never pristine but it was a place to work on your iron game.
Doubt we’ll ever be back

They need to cut the price in half to reflect the poor conditions

Half the collars around the greens were dug up - putting through was impossible. Not a $80 course - $39 maybe

Private course conditions for less $

From the moment you arrive its a solid experience. Bill the starter is a favorite and while we were slowed down by a slow 3some 3:50 round isn't too shabby.
We'll be back when there are hot deals to be had
