Carlisle Barracks Golf Course is on the US Army’s Base on the east side of Carlisle off I-81 at Trindle Road and is open to outside public play.

The Barracks is the second oldest Army Base in the U.S. The U.S. Army War College is its primary use with 2,300 active duty personnel and over 1,000 civilians. It’s a convenient location for travelers as it’s basically at the intersection of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 81 just west of Harrisburg. The golf course is on one of the main roads on the installation, and named for Jim Thorpe who attended the Carlisle Indian Industrial School here.

The layout features generous, tree lined fairways over easily walkable topography with 30 sand bunkers in play. It’s mostly straightforward with numerous slight doglegs and mid-sized, oval greens. There’s four sets of tees from 5,056 yards to 6,484 yards, 70.8/120, course slope ratings from the Blue tees, designed by Col. Murphy.
