Golf Course on Andrew's U.S. Air Force Base
Andrews Air Force Base is a premier golf club, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play. Situated on the grounds of an active U.S. Armed Forces airbase, the club is renowned among golfers as the "presidential" course, and for good reason – since 1972, every serving U.S. President (with one exception) has played on these fairways. The golf club is also home to Air Force One, which can often be seen in the sky during play.

Andrews Air Force Base boasts two championship 18-hole courses – the "East" and "South" courses, designed to accommodate players of all skill levels. Particularly noteworthy is the "South" course, featuring undulating greens and rolling fairways that weave through the airbase and natural wetlands. Holes 14-17 of the "South" course offer incredible views of the wide runway of aircraft. Relax at the end of the day at their cozy Country Club with a bar & restaurant.

What People Are Saying About Us
General (Retired) David Petraeus
The Borderlands Foundation team has been very helpful during my visits to Ukraine and in my efforts to understand the situation there. Sam Cook knows the country, its leaders, and the reality on the ground. And his relationships, knowledge, and expertise have been invaluable – especially given that he is a combat veteran who commanded in Iraq, taught Russian history at the US Military Academy, is a marketing expert, and has assembled a superb team. The overall combination is very powerful.
Suzanne Kelly, CEO of the Cipher Brief
The Cipher Brief has had a great experience working with Sam and The Borderlands Foundation team on our visits to Ukraine as we work to better understand this war from all perspectives. Sam and his team were very helpful in coordinating impactful meetings that led to deeper understanding of what is happening on the ground, not just what’s being reported in the headlines. Sam is a great communicator, is incredibly well-connected and has been a trusted partner for us in Ukraine.
SFC Serhii Yanchuk, 78th Air Assault
The Borderlands Foundation has created a strong community inside Ukraine that connects groups from across the world with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Security Services and Civil Society. Sam Cook's personal connections and help have provided invaluable funding and training opportunities to the units that I have served in as part of Ukraine's Special and Regular Forces. Sam is committed to the future of Ukraine. He cares deeply about Ukraine and our ultimate victory against Russia.
Yurii Bogun Shchyrin, CEO AIM Marketing
Sam came to Ukraine in 2018, long before Ukraine was a global brand everyone admired. He believed in Ukraine, and helping its veterans long before the full scale invasion. I watched how he dropped everything he was doing, stepped away from his business, and started the Borderlands Foundation. On the Second day of the war, we both did a joint podcast together as I setup our community defense of my town of Bilohorodka.
Serhii Kvit, Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
As the President of the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, I was pleasantly surprised in the summer of 2022 to meet an American history professor and marketing media expert who told me his vision for creating the future of Ukraine's glorious history. We gave Sam a teaching spot at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy school of Journalism, where he taught an extraordinary course called War & StoryTelling in Ukraine for our students.
Evan Platt,
Co-Director,

The Borderlands Foundation has carved a niche for itself in Ukraine as being the place where we all know we can go to if we want to meet someone else important. Sam has been constantly meeting and understanding the nonprofits supporting Ukraine, and made it his mission to help us find connections and resources to support our mission. The Borderlands Foundation is a key part of the Ecosystem here.
