MacDill Air Force Base, Florida

Bay Palms Golf Courses at MacDill AFB, FL. Consist of two 18 hole golf course:  The North Course and the South Course.

Bay Palm South.  This course is an 18 hole par 72 course that measures 6,768 yards from the back tees, with a rating of 72.2 and a slope of 121.  The South course opened for play in 1986 and is one of the most scenic and challenging course that I have played in the Air Force.   In addition to astoundingly beautiful views of the bay, the course boasts elevated greens, many water hazards, and large lakes and ponds. There is also an abundance of natural vegetation, such as palms, mango groves, and live oaks.

Named Best Golf Course in the Air Force in 2002, the course is challenging and well worth the trip to southern Florida.

Bay Palm North.  The North course is the older of the two courses. This 18 hole par 72 course measures 6,446 yards from the back tees, with a rating 70.4 and a slope of 120.  Also known as “Paradise by the Bay”, this course offers yet another opportunity to experience great views of the bay, trees and vegetation.  There are some water hazards, but the course is relatively flat with fast greens.
While Bay Palm North is less challenging than the south course, the player experience is equally enjoyable and visually appealing.
 

This military golf course is for the military and there guest only.
