NAS Whiting Field Golf Course

Overview: NAS Whiting Field Golf Course is an 18-hole military installation course in Milton, Florida. The available course record describes a par-72 layout measuring 6,991 yards from the back tees, with broad Bermuda fairways, mature trees, water hazards, creeks, marshland and lakes. The course occupies the wooded, flat terrain around the naval air station and is associated with the MWR golf operation at USS Intrepid Road.

History: Published base-course records date the golf course to 1945 and record a renovation in 1956, during the postwar development of Whiting Field as a naval flight-training installation. The available sources do not establish a reliable original architect, so that field is left blank rather than attributed to a designer without evidence. Current base information identifies the MWR golf pro shop at the Whiting Field address.

Did You Know? A round here shares its setting with an active naval aviation station, so aircraft activity and the surrounding flight-training landscape are part of the course's character. The property also sits within a broader managed natural environment that includes wetlands, forest and protected species habitat.
