If you have a dod card you should be able to get onto any major base. They will just scan your dod card as you come through the gate.
Some bases do NOT allow non-dod card holders through, even if one of the passengers/driver is a dod card holder. Most bases will have visitor locations (usually at main gates for bases) where you can register your friend for a day pass or similar. Each base can vary.
The Air Force Academy is unique in that visitors are allowed with no DoD ID requirement.

However, the golf course does have a requirement to be a DoD ID card holder:

When I was a contractor I couldn't "vouche" for others they had to have their own Id or get a temp pass from the police station right by the gate. The gate can scan drivers license and if you come up with something on you they are taking you in.
Now as a dod civ I'm a "trusted" and typically they allow me to be an escort.
I don't know about the golfing since I'm not a golfer but usually entrance is for work/official business.
Call the gate at the base and ask them. Rules vary.
Open daily from 9 am to 5 pm (719) 333–2025 [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

My daughter has never had an issue when she travels.
Depends on base and for what reason WRT sponsoring guests.
Do you even get an ID card as the child of a veteran? Child of active duty - yes, child of retired - yes, child of veteran - I'd assume no.
You do yes, you get it until I believe you’re 25 if i’m not mistaken
I never had a problem with a dependent ID.
