Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona

The Blanchard Golf Course is an 18-hole par 72 course that is located at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in southern Arizona.  The course measures 6,611 yards from the back tees and has a 70.6 rating with a 128 slope.  Designed and built by Air Force Civil Engineers, the course opened for play in 1961 with Bermuda grass on the fairways and greens surrounded by Arizona’s desert landscaping, mountain views and a large air craft storage facility.


In the last few years the greens and tee boxes have been improved. However, it is still a flat desert golf course with some water on three holes and a lot of sand.  Play this golf course before you play Falcon Dunes at Luke AFB.  This course is great for beginners and a fine facility for practicing your game.


The golf course is open to the public.  Just ask the guards at the main and after a security check a pass can be granted.
