Grissom AIr Reserve Base Golf Club is a public, 9 hole golf course located in Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana, about 12 miles north of Kokomo. The base was named in memory of astronaut and Indiana native Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, who, along with fellow astronauts Ed White and Roger Chaffee, perished in the Apollo I fire at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 in 1967.
The facility was established as Naval Air Station Bunker Hill in 1942. It became an active Air Force Base from 1954 to 1994. Since then it is a joint-use civil airport/military base.
The Grissom AFB Golf Course first opened for play in 1962.
This is a fairly flat course with one water hazard that comes into play on three holes. The greens are flat and very large.
The most difficult hole is #4, a 442-yard, par 4, which has out-of-bounds stakes to the left and to the back of the green. In addition, this hole has a dogleg left fairway with sand bunkers on both sides and a tree in front of the green.
