Marine Memorial Golf Course - Open to the Public

Hard to say anything negative for a military base the course is decent especially considering it's an oasis in the middle of the sand The greens are well kept The fairways are rougher than they should be but considering the environment not bad.

Today I played the Barstow Marine Golf Course “Tees and Trees”. This is one of the worst kept military courses I have ever played. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were overgrown, some more than others. I lost two balls in the middle of the fairways on two separate holes because the grass was to tall. There was trash laying around everywhere on the ground. Some signs for hole yardages weren’t even secure, just laying on the ground. Some tee boxes did not even have markers. The sprinkler system was on on several holes to include the green on 3 and 5 as I was trying to putt. This was also the case on the 7th tee box, which we could not even use. After only playing five holes of the eighteen, I returned to the clubhouse and asked for a refund because the conditions of the course were so bad. Upon asking for a refund, I was told by the associate that no discount or refund could be given and that they are trying to fix some things due to low maintenance abilities. This is completely unacceptable. Charging a full 28$ for only five holes played on a substandard wrap around 9 hole course is an outrage regardless of their manning ability.

This is a very unkept, ragged, overpriced golf course. Played there today. The grass was long all over. Tee box’s were overgrown as well as the greens. For the quality of the course, 30$ to play a wrap around nine hole course in that condition is ridiculous. Do not recommend this place and will not return. Hard to believe this is a military course since it’s not taken care of.
