Dover Air Force Base, Delaware

The Eagle Creek Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par 70 course that measures 6,026 yards from the back tees.  The course has a rating of 68.0 and a slope of 117.  The course was designed by Edmond B. Ault and it opened in 1961.

The golf course is located on the base and follows the base housing and a lake.  The course is open year round depending on the weather.  The fairways are lined with bent grass and some trees and bushes.  There are water hazards on 11 of the 18 holes.  When I played the course, it was in the fall and the fairways were hard and curated more roll with hard greens.  So accuracy is very important.
 

The golf course is restricted to military personnel and their guests.
