Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club boasts eighteen holes of “The Purest Golf in the Florida Panhandle,” according to Golf Magazine. Established in 1969, the course is designed perfectly for walking, as it meanders through beautiful natural wildlife habitats and native areas. It boasts some of the only elevation changes in the area and takes golfers within a few hundred yards of the Gulf of Mexico. The course and club recently completed a multi-million-dollar renovation that was unveiled in 2021.
Located within Seascape Resort, the par-70, 6,100-yard championship Seascape Golf Course was designed by famed course architect Joe Lee. It showcases 18 immaculate greens and contoured fairways that wind through lush tall-pine forests. It’s also situated among a series of freshwater and coastal dune lakes, with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico from many holes.
Curious about finding an exclusive membership? Watersound Club offers access to three incredible golf courses, each of which has won prestigious awards and been named to top lists.

Eagle Springs Golf Course in DeFuniak Springs has been a mainstay in Walton County for the past 94 years and is on Florida’s Historic Golf Trail.

In addition to the 18-hole golf course, the 194 acres of surrounding land feature five beautiful spring-fed lakes.
Windswept Dunes Golf Club is home to a dramatic landscape with rolling fairways and white sand dunes on each hole. Player-friendly features include fairways that are often wide and generous off the tee. However, that’s not to say the course lacks a sporting obstacle. Occasional water hazards lurk along the way, and approach shots must contend with the numerous bunkers guarding the large, smooth greens.
