Fort Benning, Georgia

Today the Fort Benning Golf Course consists of three 9-hole courses; the Bradley Course, the Marshall Course and the Patton Course.  All three courses are Par 36 layouts.  The courses were designed by Robert Tent Jones Sr. and Lester Lawrence, with lots of water and sand.

In the beginning the base started with nine hole courses.  The first nine holes opened in 1923, the second nine holes opened in 1930, the third nine holes opened in 1950, and the fourth nine holes opened in 1960.  In the 1960’s they were made into two 18 hole courses, the Lakeside Course and the Pineside Course.

In 2006 they changed once again.  Now there are thee nine hole courses.  The Bradley course measures 3,197 yards from the back tees, the Marshall Course measures 3,521 yards from the back tees, and the Patton course that measures 3,332 yards from the back tees

All of the courses are located on the base and are tree lined with rolling hills and sand traps/bunkers.  When I played the courses, the fairways and greens were in excellent condition, I hope they’re still in that condition.
