Andrews AFB
has three championship level, 18-hole, Par 72 golf courses: The East
Golf Course, The West Golf Course
and The South Golf Course. The courses all reflect a military
presence. They have a classic sense of
style, gracious hospitality and timeless elegance. The high-end amenities and exceptional
facilities will make your round of golf an unforgettable golf experience. The courses were created from an extraordinary
design and provide an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The golf courses are maintained in a relaxed
“country club” atmosphere.
The East Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par 72
course that measures 6,883 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of
71.9 and a slope of 126. The course was
designed and built by Frank Murray and Russell Roberts, and originally opened
in 1956.
The varying
degree of difficulty makes this course more challenging than the other two
courses. The course runs through thick
wooded areas with tree lined fairways that have large mature trees and thick
green vegetation. Some fairways are
narrow so accuracy is a must.
The West Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par 72
course that measures 6,572 yards from the back tees. The course has a rating of 70.5 with a slope
of 120. The course was designed and
built by Frank Murray and Russell Roberts and opened in 1961.
The course
is more enjoyable to play depending on your selection of tees. With four sets of tees to choose from your
decision should be rather easy. The
course is set on rolling terrain with stunning fairways and sloping greens
guarded by trees and sand.
The South Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par 72
course that measures 6,759 yards from the back tees, and the course has a
rating of 71.8 with a slope of 124. The
course was designed and built by Brian T. Ault and opened in 1998.
The South
course is the newest course, with some trees, and more water hazards than the
other courses. It has wide open fairways
and sloping greens that are guarded with trees and sand traps.
All of the
golf courses at Andrews AFB are restricted to military personnel and their
guests.
