Golf in Joint Base Andrews

Joint Base Andrews is the Prince George's County installation from which Air Force One operates, consolidating what were formerly separate Air Force and Navy installations under joint command. The Courses at Andrews serves the base's military community within one of the most security-controlled installations in the country—flight operations visible from the fairways include the most monitored airspace in the United States. The surrounding Prince George's County landscape is dense suburban development on the Capital Beltway's southeastern quadrant, and the base's restricted access makes its golf facilities an entirely contained military community amenity. The installation's importance as the gateway for presidential and VIP air travel gives Joint Base Andrews a symbolic prominence within the Washington military geography that extends well beyond its golf facilities.
