Golden Eagle Golf & Country ClubGolden Eagle Plantation · Tallahassee, Florida

Tallahassee, Florida

The hardest course in Florida, six months after it opened.

Tom Fazio opened this course in December 1986, and six months later the USGA called it the most challenging in Florida. It runs through the pines of a gated plantation, wrapped on three sides by Lake Diane, and finishes under the windows of a thirty-two thousand square foot clubhouse.

Thirty-two thousand square feet, on a lake

Plantation-style, and reminiscent of an English country manor. The club sits inside Golden Eagle Plantation, a gated community north of Tallahassee. The clubhouse looks down the eighteenth fairway and is surrounded on three sides by the 135-acre Lake Diane.
