Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

Greens were terrible but clearly being worked on for the summer. Course not bad for a cheaper public course. Staff is the most friendly and welcoming staff at a course I’ve ever seen. Drinks were cheap and the burger is top 3 burgers I’ve had in my life. Definitely grab one on the way out.

What happened to the greens keeper? You upgraded the irrigation system but you neglected the most important part of the course! Without proper green maintenance you might as well shut it down! Pleaee get your priorities straight!

The four- star rating on GolfNow is extremely misleading. The Tee boxes had little grass and had not been mowed. The greens were poor. Weeds had taken over and made it difficult to get a true read. With a little effort by the greens keeper, this has potential to be a nice course. Although, the current conditions make it really hard to recommend. It is not worth the $50 green fee.

Overall the course is a nice course, easy play for any level of player. The Greens are in poor shape and could use some attention

They obviously did nothing to prevent the growth of poa annua in many of the greens making putting feel like putting over pavers. Ther is not nearly enough grass in the fairways and in the area surrounding the greens - grass layer is thin. They did put in a new irrigation system and hopefully that will help the grass grow better. I have played here a great many times over 12 years and the thin grass of the fairway and greens surround has always existed. There are two fairways - #5 and # 16 that slope sharply downhill in a section and there are always problems with washouts - little effort has been made to resolve the problem over the 12 years I have played there. This course could become much much better just by preventing the poa annua in the greens, seeding the fairways and green surrounds to get a better layer of grass and fix the wash out problems on #5 and #16 fairways.

Made reservation for the Oaks course but it was walking only this day. So they put us on the Pines course.

Great course for the money. Greens had some “weeds” growing on them and that caused some puts to go offline. Probably missed 4 or 5 putts due to this.

Great layout and a variety holes was nice.

Will definitely play here again in the future.

Played the course a great deal five years ago and it was in great shape. They have really let it slide. Not a level spot on the tee box and all torn up. Fairways were full of divots and dead in spots. Greens had weeds all over. Used to be my favorite public course but will have to look elsewhere.

Enjoyed the course and layout. Greens had many weed growths on them which affected ball roll and found some rough areas of turf, or no turf. Very attractive layout and fair to all players.

Played the Oaks course and 16 of 18 greens were infested with nutsage.! No roll just bounce. Won’t be back. Wish I had taken pictures.

Course was good except for greens spotty pohana causing putts to move off line

Layout was good , staff was friendly, pace was fine. The greens were covered in weeds. No chance at having a good round due to the ball not rolling true. No chance at sinking a putt.

Great course and well maintained. Enjoyed the round.

Course was reasonably priced, the t-boxes could use some work & not much offered in amenities.

I would still recommend the course to a friend.
