Patrick Air Force Base, Florida

Manatee Cove Golf Course is a picturesque 18-hole golf course at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida.  It is located between the Banana River and the Atlantic Ocean.  It covers 260 acres and is shared by many wild animal species.  The par 72 course is measured at 6,808 yards from the back tees, with a rating of 71.9, and a 123 slope. The course, which opened in 1950, was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.  In 2002 the course was renovated by Tom Fazio, with the greens being reconstructed in 2007 by using a new sea shore grass called Paspallum.

The first tee is alongside the Manatee Cove of the Banana River and if you’re lucky you’ll be able to see a few manatees.

The golf course is on a military installation and is open to the public.
