Fairways are a little patchy in area's. Greens still haven't matured yetsince re-design, so they aren't real receptive to long shots. Challenging track! Can't beat the miltary prices for food and drinks! Staff is courteous!

A lot of trees are being removed and NOT replaced. Today # 13 lost another. Tees still need leveling but are in good condition. The greens are coming along very nicely.

Green speeds vary remarkably even though smooth as a pool table top

Played the newly renovated Admiral Baker North course (it was closed for 1 year), they've REALLY done a great job. Green total area has just about doubled, new bunkers. This is a heavily played Military golf course but is now open for Civilian play with some restrictions on tee times. Highly recommended for the price (about ~$42 for non-Military/non-DoD).

North Course scheduled for complete closure w/ major renovation in May 2011. Wide open hitters course with little complexity or challenge. I favor the South Course because of the challenge to keep the ball in play on numerous holes.

Very challenging and interesting course layout. Good elevation changes and lots of dog-legs. All greens are accessible from most angles in the fairway. Most fairways are generous, but the wind can be a major factor on the finishing holes.

Fun course, not terribly difficult, even from the tips. Some long par 3s and a tougher back nine.

Recently punched greens make putting unpredictable, Fairways have good grass but a lot of GUR and some casual water

This is a great walking course. Friendly staff. The fairways are a bit ragged in spots, but the greens are in very good condition. I play it about 3 times a year and always enjoy it.
