"Long a favored getaway for presidents seeking a few hours' solace from the stress of running the free world, the Courses at Andrews - inside the secure confines of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from the White House - are known as the "president's golf course." Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Joe Biden have spent time there,"
"Andrews, better known as the home of Air Force One, has two 18-hole courses and a 9-hole one. Its facilities have undergone renovations in the past, including in 2018, when Congress approved funding to replace aging presidential aircraft and to build a new hangar and support facilities. That project was close enough to the courses that they had to be altered then, too."
President Donald Trump has spent vacation time golfing and is now eyeing the Courses at Andrews for a major construction project. The Courses at Andrews sit inside Joint Base Andrews, about 15 miles from the White House, and have been used by many presidents; Barack Obama played there roughly 110 times. Trump has favored family-owned courses during his presidency but has enlisted Jack Nicklaus to redesign Andrews. The base has two 18-hole courses and a 9-hole one. Past renovations, including a 2018 project to replace aircraft and build a new hangar, required alterations to the courses.
