There are two golf courses at Maxwell AFB. The River Course
and the University Course.
The River Golf Course:
This 18-hole, Par-71 course measures 6,245 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 69.8 and a slope of 120. The course was designed by Joseph
Finger and is the older of the two courses. The course runs along the banks of the Alabama River and is in a flood plain. Both courses can play to your liking depending on your selection of tees, with four sets of tees. We played the course in January and it was in
excellent condition. This is an above
average course with many elevation changes.
The University Course:
This 18-hole, Par-72 course measures 6,917 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 72.9 and a slope of 125. The designed is not known or is the opening date. The course is very flat and generally straight
and wide and above average, with 10 holes with water on them and tree
lined fairways. The varying degree of difficulty promises a memorable golf experience for all. Both golf courses are
maintained by Federal inmates at the federal prison camp on the base so just
remember that the guy mowing the grass is a federal felon so be careful with miss hits.
