Ruggles Golf Course

Ruggles Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. Originally designed as a 9-hole layout by William Gordon in the 1950s, it was expanded to 18 holes by Ed Ault and further renovated by Dan Schlegel. The course represents a traditional golf design and accommodates golfers of varying skill levels through five tee complexes ranging from 5,071 yards (red tees) to 7,230 yards (championship black tees).

The facility features a driving range with natural and artificial tees, putting green, and short game chipping area. The Sutherland Clubhouse, renovated in 2009, provides dining options with both indoor and patio seating. Ruggles offers golf lessons from its resident PGA Professional, available April through November, and hosts numerous tournaments and outings throughout the season. The course serves both military and civilian golfers, with membership and daily fee options available. Additional amenities include locker rentals, a fully stocked pro shop, and computerized handicap system.
