Fort Moore Golf Club

The Marshall Course at Fort Moore Golf Club (formerly Fort Benning) is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that serves the military community in west-central Georgia, near Columbus. Jones, who designed numerous courses for military installations throughout his career, created this layout to provide recreational golf for service members, their families, and authorized guests. The course reflects his characteristic design principles from the era, with strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and water hazards that require thoughtful club selection and course management. The property occupies rolling terrain typical of the Georgia Piedmont region, where the landscape transitions from the coastal plain to the foothills. Pine forests frame many holes, and the routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes to create variety in shot requirements. Jones's design philosophy emphasized making courses playable for average golfers from forward tees while still challenging accomplished players from the back markers, an approach well-suited to the diverse skill levels found in a military golf facility. Fort Moore, as one of the Army's major training installations, has a long tradition of supporting recreational activities for personnel. The golf club operates as part of the Morale, Welfare and Recreation program, maintaining affordable access for the military community. The course provides a respite from the demands of military life and serves as a gathering place for soldiers and families stationed at the post.
