RAF Shawbury's 9-hole course used to be reasonable fun; although you had to phone ATC at some point to find out what runway was in use (phone provided alongside a green). If a particular runway was being used, one of the holes was out of play. RAF Cottesmore's course was a decent challenge - nine greens, 18 tees and included a couple of par 5s. It was usually in very good condition as the apprentice greenkeepers from the Burghley course near Stamford would come up to learn their trade on it. Anyone know if Kendrew Barracks have kept that course going?
Waddington had a golf club - wasn't up to much, now closed.
