Count them... 1... 2... 3 golf courses ON BASE, plus many more nearby. If you have orders to Andrews, you will enjoy proximity to all the culture, arts, history and recreation of Washington, D.C. and Annapolis - but, if you're a golfer, military relocation to Andrews can be summed up with one small word, FORE!

The course rating is 71.1 and it has a slope rating of 128 on Bermuda grass. Designed by Brian T. Ault, ASGCA, the South golf course opened in 1998.

If you're a golfer or a golfer wanna-be, you'll find plenty of options for playing beyond the gates of Andrews, as well. In addition to the three courses on base, you'll want to check out these nearby golf courses:
- Marlborough Country Club,
- Lake Arbor Golf Course,
- Crofton Country Club,
- Tantallon Country Club,
- The Country Club at Woodmore
- The University of Maryland Golf Course
While the Andrews Air Force Base golf courses are part of the Base Recreation Program, they are managed and maintained in a relaxed "country club" atmosphere with a pro shop, cafeteria, lounge and practice facilities.
The golf courses are normally open for play seven days a week, from 0730 until dusk, Monday through Friday, and 0630 until dusk on Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays. All seasonal changes in the operational hours are posted throughout the clubhouse and on the website.
There's more to golf in this area than these local courses, however. There is the new Tiger Woods Foundation and his AT&T National, a PGA Tour event played at Congressional Country Club. If you're in the area this summer, you'll be able to walk with the pros July 2-6.

Margaret- These localism posts you are doing are just so great! They look so professional too
We need to talk, do you want to call me tomorrow?!Katerina
Hi, Katerina - After 17 straight hours on ActiveRain, working on the Directories and dealing with the constant barrage of in/out communication, I am locking up my computer for at least the next 30 hours!!! That should make time for doing REAL business, like talking with you about the Florida event. I have appointments starting at 3, so perhaps earlier???
You golf, Margaret?
Jeff - Won my first golf tournament at 9, and several more before I went to college. Then I picked it up again when my kids were small - two went to college on golf scholarships, the entire family plays, and my husband works at UMD golf course now. In fact, we go to Pinehurst for Thanksgiving weekend for an annual golf outing! That was probably a rhetorical question on your part, but I never miss an opportunity to brag about my kids. I'm sure you can find a photo of us golfing, if you look back far enough.
Margaret-This is fantastic. Congratulations on the feature. Well deserved! Since I live overlooking a golf course I get to see the good and not so good golfers on a regularly basis :-)
Which golf course, Cindy? Did you see my post about Marine Barracks Washington? 'Hope you're one of the other agents for that base. I've never had anyone from there before, but it's getting my name and link out there one more time!
I overlook Osprey Golf Course in Belmont Bay. I haven't had anyone from the Marine Corps band but I have from the Army band at Fort Myer. Your posts are always an inspiration!
I'm duly impressed, Margaret! You're a golf family.
Like your posts helping servicepeople relocate. Innovative.
