There are
two golf courses supported by Aberdeen Proving Ground Army Base, the 18-hole Ruggles Golf Course and the 9-hole Exton Golf Course. Both courses use the natural landscape to their
advantage, with Blue Grass fairways that are tree lined with large mature trees
and Bent Grass undulating greens.
The Ruggles Golf Course is a challenging
18-hole, Par 72 course that measures 7,230 yards from the back tees. The course has a ranking of 74.5 and a slope
of 131. The golf course was designed and
built by William Gordon, and the course first opened in 1950. Originally designed as a 9-hole course, it
was expanded to the current 18-hole course by Edmond Ault. Further course renovations were done by Dan
Schlegel. The golf course is truly a
traditional masterpiece that golfers of varying skill levels will enjoy
playing.
The Exton Golf Course is a 9-hole, Par 35
course that measures 2,737 yards from the back tees, the course can be played
twice as an 18-hole, Par 71 course. The
course designer is not known and it opened in 1923. The course is a fun, challenging nine hole
course at APG south. The course is one
of the oldest golf courses in Harford County with a long history in the
surrounding area. Overall the course is
relatively short with most of the challenges coming when you miss a green.
