THE COURSES AT ANDREWS
🇺🇸 Andrews AFB, MD, USA
Designed by Frank Murray, Russell Roberts
The East Course at Andrews Air Force Base serves the military community and authorized guests at one of the nation's most prominent military installations, home to Air Force One and located just outside Washington, D.C. The course was designed by Frank Murray and Russell Roberts, architects who worked on several military golf facilities during the mid-20th century. The layout reflects the practical design approach common to military courses of its era, providing accessible golf for service members and their families.
The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Maryland coastal plain, with mature tree-lined fairways that define playing corridors and frame individual holes. The routing takes advantage of the available land within the base boundaries, offering a straightforward test of golf without severe elevation changes. Conditioning and maintenance standards are maintained to support regular play by the base community.
Andrews AFB has hosted the military golf community for decades, and the East Course functions as part of a larger recreational complex that includes additional golf facilities on the installation. The club serves active duty personnel, retirees, and Department of Defense civilians, maintaining the tradition of military golf programs that provide affordable recreation and foster camaraderie among service members. Access is restricted to those with base privileges, giving the course a distinct membership character tied to military service rather than civilian country club culture.
