Fort Moore Golf Club

Fort Moore Golf Club's Bradley and Marshall courses occupy military land at Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) in western Georgia, near Columbus. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed both layouts as part of the post's recreational facilities, bringing his characteristic strategic design principles to courses intended primarily for military personnel, their families, and authorized guests. Jones, who worked extensively on military installations throughout his career, typically emphasized playability for a wide range of skill levels while incorporating his trademark large greens, strategic bunkering, and water hazards that reward thoughtful course management. The courses take advantage of the rolling piedmont terrain common to this part of Georgia, where the landscape transitions from the coastal plain toward the Appalachian foothills. Pine forests frame the holes, and elevation changes provide natural variety in shot-making demands. Jones's design approach on military courses generally balanced challenge with accessibility, creating layouts that could accommodate high daily play volumes while still offering interest to accomplished players. Fort Moore Golf Club serves an active military community, and the courses reflect the practical needs of that population—steady conditioning, reasonable pace of play, and a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of varying abilities. The facility functions as both recreational amenity and social hub within the broader post infrastructure, maintaining the tradition of quality golf on American military installations that Jones helped establish during the mid-twentieth century.
