Eagle Springs Golf Course (formerly known as DeFuniak Springs Country Club) is Walton County's oldest course and one of the panhandle area's most challenging. The golf course sprawls across rolling hills covered with pine forests and five spring-fed lakes, both of which come into play throughout the course. Sandy scrub brush and colorful flowering bushes accent the landscape even further. The towering trees lining the tight fairways are just some of the many challenging natural hazards. There are also 23 strategically placed sand traps throughout. The small, elevated greens are pitched and undulated in such a manner that would make even the best putters nervous. The rolling elevations also provide picturesque views from nearly every point on golf course. Eagle Springs Golf Course requires accuracy and careful course management, but the layout is still surprisingly accessible for a range of skill levels. As part of recent initiatives and upgrades to the property and management, kids under 15 play free.

Ball washers are to low.

We had a great day of golf today. We are all over 80 years old so we play a best ball game to speed up play. The course is in great condition.

Greens and Fairways

Greens and Fairways were in good shape. They are redoing some of the T boxes and adding cart paths. Even with all the work going on it did not hinder my round of golf. I was told there are plans later this year to redo some of the greens.

Cart paths are terrible greens were very slow and patchy in spots. Could be a nice golf coarse if they fixed the cart paths and the greens.
