One of the best in the area

The Eglin Falcon Course had some problems with the greens as did all the courses in the area. However, their greens have come back much faster than most of the other courses. Changes in elevation are unique to the Eglin courses. Challenging and rewarding.

What a Beast

Quite the challenge with the, not so Florida-like, elevation changes. Very demanding on your driver to keep it in play and on the correct side to set up the approaches. The four par 5's gave me the title of the review. Greens were in great shape and my group looks forward to a return visit. Maybe not in the summer, though. The insects were having their way with a couple of my tastier partners. Our pace of play was slow. but that was a group problem, not the courses.

This course has character and personality

The Falcon at Eglin AFB is an awesome course and should not be played by the faint of heart! The fairways and t-boxes are a bit under-attended, however, that does not detract from the challenges of the course. The first hole will make one wonder, because it is a basic, mundane hole. But fasten your seat-belt, because the rest of the course will eat your lunch! Bring in Robert Trent Jones and this could be on the RTJ trail! Great course!

Great course

Greens and fairways in super shape. Day was hot as always this time of year. Played at 12:10 and finished before 3:30 (threesome). waited a min. or so on some tees. Greens were fairly slow but it was mid- day and they probably don't cut too short in the summer heat. Quite a lot of topography for a Florida course. Beautiful trees and lakes. Very nice.

Worth the drive

The greens were in good condition. The course has character, each hole was different. A good lay out. When compared to prices of other courses in this area it was worth the $40 and the 20 minute drive.

Nice Course

The Eagle was a great course. From tee to green it was in great shape. Florida has gotten plenty of rain this summer and the course looked like it has flourished because of it. The fairways were lined with red stake to keep the pace of play moving (I loved it).

Nice course, very good value

Very nice facility. Falcon course was in good shape overall. Greens were a little slow, but still smooth and putting true. Layout is challenging and quite hilly for Florida. It's a very good value for the price and worth a visit.

Falcon Course

Course was in overall good shape. It's a fun and challenging course to play, especially from the tips. Best value near Destin and worth the short drive from the beach.

Nice course; good value

This course has more hills than one would expect in Florida which makes it challenging. Course was in decent shape; much better than most that are north of the bay.

Great course

Didn't know there were hills in Northwest Florida. Some very challenging undulations and changes in elevation made the course quite a challenge. Nice course, nice staff and in good shape. Will go back to this military gem.

Great Value!

This is one of the most challenging Military courses I have played. It is very hilly and requires golf skills to score. I will be going back as soon as I can ! This is an all day rate, so you can golf until you drop!!!

great staff, plush course

Waited bc of 2 hour rain delay and staff was very friendly. Course drained exceptionally well. Started back up in the rain and did not see one puddle. I was given free range balls for my patience. Cheap drinks and beautiful course. Challenging because of elevation changes but not too hard. Great greens.

Great course

The course is in good shape better than most in the area. First it is a very difficult course and provides plenty of challenges. I will be back to play many rounds. We paid $18 a person and for the condition and overall value we got a steal.
