The U.S. military is one of the world's largest golf course operators Imagine this: teeing it up at Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Cypress Point with no waiting, no fees ... just go. For decades, golf and the military have enjoyed a special relationship, most notably with U.S. Presidents. However, things weren’t always so compatible. King James of Scotland banned the game in 1457 upon discovering troops abandoning archery practice for golf, although the short-sighted monarch would have benefited from the complementary hand-eye coordination both skills require. Today, golf remains popular within all service branches. The military is one of the top course management companies in the U.S., operating 125 facilities, but courses receive no taxpayer funding and, by law, must be self-sufficient. Green fees are structured by pay grade and largely range from $20-$60. Many are currently meeting financial goals through public-access programs which require simple vetting, background checks and annual fees of $10-$30. 1
