Eagle Harbor Golf Club in Fleming Island, Florida, is set amidst a forest of 60-foot pines. The 18-hole Course, designed by award-winning course architect Clyde B. Johnston, features rolling Bermuda grass fairways, multi-tiered TifEagle Greens, and both grass and fine, white sugar sand bunkers.
Eagle Harbor Golf Course incorporates water in many ways. Situated between Black Creek and Doctors Lake (and just beyond that, the St. Johns River), this 18-hole Course is one of the most charming in the region. The Course is laid out within the grounds of the Eagle Harbor Community, which lies on the southeastern shore of the lake. Players are offered stunning vistas of natural elements in the Florida landscape, including a favorite spot on the Eagle Harbor Golf Course: the island green. This impressive feature captures the essence of the classic Florida Golf Course and provides an exciting, yet fair challenge to golfers of all levels. It’s part of what makes playing here so special and memorable.
We have four tee times booked– 9:18/9:27/9:36/9:45 am
Greens Fees - $70.00 + tax
