Moffett Federal Airfield/NASA Ames Research Center, California

The Ames Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par-72 course that measures 6,338 yards from the back tees and is rated at 70.2 with a slope of 117. The course opened in 1958 but the designer of the course is unknown.

The course features meandering Kikuyu grass fairways, large sand bunkers and elevated tees.  The course has been modernized and upgraded since it originally opened.  But what hasn’t changed is the beautiful location and spectacular scenic views the have always made the course a popular and attractive destination.  The course has numerous bird species like the Red Tail Hawk, Burrowing Owls and a vast array of other birds and animals that make this area a veritable wildlife preserve.  That’s why the course is known as “One of the best kept secrets of the Bay Area for golf”.


The golf course is open to the public.
