Golf in Dover Base Housing

Dover Base Housing is a residential community associated with Dover Air Force Base, Delaware's largest military installation and one of the principal air mobility commands in the United States. The base's mission—including the mortuary affairs program that processes the remains of military personnel from overseas—gives Dover AFB a solemn significance in the military community beyond its operational air transport functions. The residential communities associated with the base provide housing for active-duty personnel and families, creating a self-contained community with its own recreational infrastructure. Eagle Creek Golf Course serves the military population within the base community, providing recreational golf access for a transient population that cycles through the installation on regular assignment rotations.
