Forces still "own" 19 golf courses!

"Yes, that happens sometimes".

And so did the reverse...............QANTAS scored a hole in one.

Waddington had a golf club - wasn't up to much, now closed.

The first Army ‘Stn Comdt’ wasn’t interested in keeping it ‘operational’, even though a number of ex-RAF types tried.

There was even talk of turning area into a BMX type Course, using the bunkers; never happened though.

Just ended up overgrown!

That's so sad as finished many a game using car head lights to light the green !

Just looked on Google spysat. The Marham and Bangkok courses are still there. But the Qantas 747 has gone.

Leuchars has/had several ‘quite nice’ courses. Very cheap to play if you were a member of the golf society and lived in NE Fife.
