A Quick Nine: Best military courses

Since the inception of PGA.com's, 'A Quick Nine,' feature, we've tried to make it a point to highlight beautiful areas of the country, or fantastic courses that you might not otherwise know about. That will continue.

In fact, it continues right now. This week, we asked our servicemen and servicewomen golfers -- and anyone else who could help: What is the best golf course on a Military Base?

Here are the top answers we received.

1. Andrews Air Force Base. Located in Maryland, AAFB is home to three courses -- the East, the West and the South. AAFB is the venue of choice for President Obama.

2. North Kingstown Golf Course. Located beside the former Naval Air Station Quonset Point right on Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, NKGC provides some breathtaking views of the ocean, as well as military planes sitting in hangars at the adjacent base.

3. Eisenhower at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. From its website: Eisenhower Golf Club is situated adjacent to the USAF Academy Chapel and cadet dormitories. Constructed in large part from a donation made by the AFAF in the amount of $250,000 in 1958, Eisenhower Golf Club's Blue Course is rated among the highest of all courses in the Department of Defense. The winding fairways, well groomed greens, and the natural wonder of roaming wildlife make the Blue and Silver Courses two of the most scenic 36 Holes in Colorado. Eligible users of the Eisenhower Golf Club include: Active Duty, Retired military, Reservists, National Guard, NAF, DoD Government employees, USAFA cadets/Prep School students, USAFA Contractors with valid I.D. cards and their guests.

4. Gordon Lakes Golf Club at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Ga. This 27-hole gem isn't the most well-known course in Augusta, but like many in that area of the country, that doesn't mean it's not great.

Facebook fan quotes:

"Gordon Lakes at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Ga... By a landslide!" -- Jason Newsome

"Gordon Lakes at Ft. Gordon, Ga. Not only one of the best military courses, one of the better public courses in the Augusta area... and THAT'S saying something." -- Joshua Johnson

5. The Ryder Golf Course at Fort Bragg, N.C. Target golf is what the Ryder Golf Course is all about with its tree-lined, narrow fairways and small greens.

6. Sea 'N Air Golf Club in San Diego, Calif. This is the only golf course in San Diego, besides Torrey Pines, that sits on the Pacific Ocean. Unlike Torrey Pines, a few of the holes at Sea 'N Air Golf Club actually play at Sea Level.

7. Kaneohe Bay Klipper Course in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. At 6,559 yards from the back tees, it's not the longest course you'll ever play, but it might be one of the most scenic.

"Kaneohe Bay Klipper or NAS North Island. The views of the Pacific from the Klipper are second to none and the views of the Coronado Bridge and the bay are amazing." -- Joshua Robin
