Gator Lakes Golf Course

Overview: Gator Lakes Golf Course at Hurlburt Field is an 18-hole military installation course retaining its original par-72 design. The Florida Panhandle layout uses lakes, trees, and military-base open space, with current public information focusing on authorized access rather than a daily-fee visitor model.

History: A major greens, bunker, drainage, and irrigation project led to a reopening in May 2007 after roughly seven months of work. The Air Force reported that the original 72-par design remained mostly intact through that renovation.

Did You Know? The 2007 project rebuilt the greens and improved irrigation while keeping the course’s original par-72 identity, an example of a major maintenance intervention that preserved the basic routing.
