Whether or not you're a serious golfer you’ll enjoy Luke’s gorgeous Falcon Dunes Golf Course.

Located just north of Luke Air Force Base, Falcon Dunes is truly one of the top military golf courses in the world. Situated at the corner of Northern Avenue and Reems Road, this 18 hole, par 71 - championship layout features mounded contours that frame rolling fairways and undulated greens.

Besides the breathtaking views of the majestic White Tank Mountains, the course is also well known for the unique, native desert landscaping that outlines the course.

This Gary Panks design is available for use by all military and government employees, both active and retired.

Already considered the “flagship” of the military golf courses, Falcon Dunes has been awarded the best golf course in its Major Command in four of its first five years in operation. Take advantage of the state-of-the-art, 8,250 square foot club house which houses the Falcon Dunes Restaurant and full-service bar!
