If you're a golfer or a golfer wanna-be, you'll find plenty of options for playing beyond the gates of Andrews, as well.  In addition to the three courses on base, you'll want to check out these nearby golf courses:

• Marlborough Country Club,
• Lake Arbor Golf Course,
• Crofton Country Club,
• Tantallon Country Club,
• The Country Club at Woodmore
• The University of Maryland Golf Course

While the Andrews Air Force Base golf courses are part of the Base Recreation Program, they are managed and maintained in a relaxed "country club" atmosphere with a pro shop, cafeteria, lounge and practice facilities.

The golf courses are normally open for play seven days a week, from 0730 until dusk, Monday through Friday, and 0630 until dusk on Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays. All seasonal changes in the operational hours are posted throughout the clubhouse and on the website.

There's more to golf in this area than these local courses, however. There is the new Tiger Woods Foundation and his AT&T National, a PGA Tour event played at Congressional Country Club.  If you're in the area this summer, you'll be able to walk with the pros July 2-6.
