Eglin Golf Course is a 36 hole course and part of the Air Force Base, but now open for public play. The complex is located near the East Gate to Eglin on the north side of Niceville. Both courses rate near the top of US military courses, these two have to be the best value in golf in the Destin area. The Falcon is the older course here, the Eagle much newer and more updated, but both are a good challenge, well conditioned, interesting and scenic layouts. All the holes are isolated and unique, carved through the woods, with some water in play, and well bunkered landing zones and greens. They also have a lighted driving range, chipping green, and two practice putting greens. Pace of play is generally on the slow side, it's always busy here, especially in season due to the rates and the quality of the layouts.
