Fort Moore Golf Club

Fort Moore Golf Club's Patton Course is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design located on the military installation in west-central Georgia, near Columbus. Jones, who designed numerous courses on military bases throughout his career, created a layout that serves the Fort Moore community—one of the U.S. Army's largest installations and home to the Maneuver Center of Excellence. The course reflects Jones's characteristic design principles from the era, with strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and water hazards that require thoughtful course management. The routing takes advantage of the rolling Piedmont terrain typical of this region of Georgia, where pine forests and natural elevation changes provide both scenic variety and strategic interest. Jones's work on military courses often balanced championship-caliber challenge with playability for a wide range of golfers, and Patton follows this approach with multiple tee boxes that accommodate different skill levels. The course serves active-duty military personnel, their families, and authorized guests. As a facility on an active Army post, Fort Moore Golf Club maintains the practical, community-focused character common to military golf courses. The Patton Course provides recreational opportunities for service members stationed at Fort Moore, which was renamed in 2023 from its previous designation. The layout represents Jones's extensive portfolio of military course design, where functional excellence and strategic interest take precedence over elaborate amenities.
