Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has two golf courses: Prairie Trace and Twin Base.

Prairie Trace golf course, the original golf course at Wright-Patterson, has been a part of the base since 1948. It features two courses – an 18-hole west course and a 9-hole east course – open to military and civilian personnel and their guests. While the courses are relatively straight forward, strategically placed trees provide added challenge, and accurate tee shots are needed to avoid tall, thick rough.

Prairie Trace golf course is open to all active-duty military, retired military, reservists, civilian employees, family members and guests. In addition to the courses, Prairie Trace also boasts a driving range and three practice putting greens as well as a golf shop.

For the serious golfer, a country club membership covers all green fees and cart fees, allowing guests to play as much as they want. For the golfing family, the golf course offers a family package at a great value, which covers green fees for all dependents, up to six people.

A full-service grill and bar are also on site for those who need a bite to eat.

Twin Base golf course, open since 1964, is located off base along State Route 444 and features an 18-hole course. In addition, Twin Base also boasts a driving range and three practice greens as well as a golf shop, a full-service grill and the Jones Room Ballroom, a location for private functions.

Twin Base golf course is open to active-duty military, retired military, reservists, civilian employees, family members and guests.

Golf carts and clubs are available to rent for players’ convenience at both Twin Base and Prairie Trace. Rank-based games and membership prices are also available.

Wright-Patterson golf courses currently offer leagues, family and couples golf and specials on golf accessories. For more information contact Prairie Trace at 937-257-7961 and Twin Base at 937-257-4130.
