Featured Golf Course

The A.C. Read Golf Club is a 27-hole golf complex consisting of three 9-hole courses that are played in 18-hole combinations (Bayou, Lakeview, and Bayview).  Each 9-hole course features three sets of tees playing from 2,600 to 3,200 yards and the 18-hole combinations play from 5,400 to 6,600 yards. The Bayou course is routed among two salt water bayous and is the most scenic of the three nines. The Bayview course offers views of Bayou Grande and Pensacola Bay and is the newest of the 27 championship holes. The Lakeview course is characterized by the Live Oak lined fairways and includes seven of the original 18-holes.

The A.C. Read Golf Club also includes an 18-hole, par-60 executive golf course featuring three sets of tees playing from 4,000 to 4,300 yards. The executive course was built on top of a portion of the original holes and incorporates several of the original fairways.

In 1946, Admiral Chester Nimitz, Chief of Naval Operations, created a flight exhibition team in order to raise the public’s interest in naval aviation and boost Navy morale. The new U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team completed its first performance, at Craig Field in Jacksonville, Florida on June 15, 1946, flying three Gruman F6F Hellcat Fighter planes. Later that year, as the team was planning a show in New York, they chose the name Blue Angels after seeing Manhattan’s famous Blue Angel nightclub in the New Yorker magazine.

The Blue Angels have flown six different aircraft over the years. Today, they fly their distinctive blue and gold McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets.  The world-famous Blue Angels are based at NAS Pensacola, and can be seen practicing over the city and beach on  most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from March to November.
