I got ya covered dude.

I retired as a 1SG from Ft. Story in 2001. Oceana Master Jet Base, in Va Beach has two 18s that you can play in several combinations. Ft. Lee in Petersburg now has two 18s. I played the old 18 for 6 years while instructing there. I played Norfolk Naval AS once but didn't play Langley AFB although I was there quite often. Va Beach has, or had, a TPC course that ran for $150+ for visitors and around $95 for residents, I never played there. hehe All of the military courses will run you between $20 and $30 depending on your rank. I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of the courses although I played Oceana the most because I lived in South Shore Estates which was about 10 mins away.
I played Ft. Lee the most of all because I was stationed there so long. I plan on going back up for a golf trip soon but getting a reservation at the base lodging facility can be challenging because it's the Quartermaster Center and School which teaches, AIT, PLDC, BNCOC, ANCOC, OBC, as well as many civilian courses and the War College....and all of the graduations that go along with those. Lodging is usually full of family members that come to attend.
