Golf in Barksdale Air Force Base

Barksdale Air Force Base occupies the eastern bank of the Red River across from Shreveport, one of the largest Air Force installations in the country and home to Air Force Global Strike Command. Bomber Bayou Golf Course serves the military community on base, its name nodding to Barksdale's B-52 heritage and the bayou drainage that shapes the northwest Louisiana terrain. Access is limited to active duty, retirees, and authorized personnel — the course functions as a quality-of-life amenity within the base's substantial footprint. The Red River corridor here is historically significant and the surrounding Bossier Parish has grown substantially as a commercial and entertainment complement to Shreveport proper.
