Miramar Memorial Golf Course

Public play comes with military-access rules

General public allowed subject to military-installation entry requirements. Current MCCS policy: Active Duty online 14 days at 5:00 a.m.; Retired 13 days at 5:00 a.m.; DoD/Public 12 days at 5:00 a.m. Public phone booking opens 7 days ahead at noon. Chronogolf still shows older shorter windows… Single-player booking/origination behavior not clearly documented; verify in Chronogolf before hard-coding.

Current conditions can materially change the value

Current turf species are provisionally Poa/bent mix on greens based on 2021 GCSA data. Greens have a strong historical reputation; September 2026 condition is not freshly verified. Fairway/tee turf provisionally Kikuyu/Bermuda from 2021 agronomic source. March 2026 field report found shaggy/bare fairway areas; current September condition needs refresh.

The practice setup is worth using

Large turfgrass-tee driving range, 8,000-sq-ft putting green, chipping green, short-game area for shots 60 yards and in, lessons, fitting and rentals. Exact one-vs-two short-game area count remains unresolved. Clubhouse/pro shop with food/beverage presence; current outlet details should be refreshed. Club rentals $25 basic / $50 VIP.

What the course is like

The challenge comes from more than just yardage

Flat traditional parkland military course with mature tree-lined corridors, doglegs and minimal elevation. Aircraft activity is frequent and part of the experience. Moderate. Long holes and doglegs add challenge, but the flat routing is relatively straightforward for a full regulation course.

Walking the course

A good course to walk

Excellent. Walking is clearly allowed and excellent due to very flat terrain. Cart is optional: 18 holes $23, twilight $20, 9 holes $16. Flat traditional parkland military course with mature tree-lined corridors, doglegs and minimal elevation. Aircraft activity is frequent and part of the experience.

Pace of play

Build extra time into the round

Generally good. Freshest detailed March 2026 report was about 4:00; broader expectation around 4–4.5 hours.
