Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

Living on the gulf, its hard to find am affordable place to play. Ft Walton Golf course offers the best option. I have gald to see a cart person

Oaks course needs some tender loving care. I didn’t notice any part of the course that didn’t need improvement.

The workers we interacted with were courteous and knowledgeable.

Really good layout just not great for putting which has crab grass overrun on them

I have played this course many, many times. Generally I like it. But this time the greens were very grainy and there was still much poa annua in the greens. I have reviewed this course several times and always have commented that 1) the fairways and around the greens need much more grass - they need to be seeded - the lies are extremely tight and 2) there are areas where there is just bare soil/sand in the fairways and I have said that those areas need to be filled in, seeded or sodded and staked off until the sod and/or seed has established itself and 3) I have pointed out that there is very significant eroded areas on 5 and 16. They have staked off some of those areas but I see nothing being done to repair those areas. I urge the course management to fix these issues and improve the palying conditions of the course.

Ok—I play here every once in a while, and really enjoy the course layout. BUT, for now most of the greens are full of a clumpy grass that makes it difficult to enjoy them. It wasn’t like that last time we played. They’ve got a real problem on their hands as it makes putting like your on a washboard. Too Bad!! It’s got some really fun and challenging holes.

Hopefully next time they’ve remedied the problem. The green fees are really reasonable, especially when you use GolfNow’s Hot Deals!!

My 13 yo son and I teed off at 7:45 am and finished exactly 4 hours. The round overall was really enjoyable and relaxing. The greens were not in great shape, very inconsistent and bumpy. The layout was interesting and had variety. Overall a nice experience to enjoy with my son on vacation.

My wife and I enjoyed the course. I walked a good bit of the course and would have walked all 18 if I was by myself.

The greens do have an invasive grass but it wasn't horrible. Putts were bumpy, but some greens and lines were just fine. Don't let the greens scare you away.

I would definitely come back the next time we visit the panhandle.

No pro shop. Staff not friendly. fairways and greens filled with weeds. No grab’n’go food. Restaurant on the same level. Priced a bit high for conditions

Over all course is good. Greens very difficult due to multiple budding grass types. No putt will roll true.

Nice municipal facility to knock off the winter rust. A couple nice practice areas and a range. Course(s) are both fun and a great value.

Turf is a mess with a lot of bare areas and the greens are full of Poe, making it impossible to putt. These were problems that existed in 2019 and nothing seems to have been done about it.

The driving is limited to hitting off mats.

The course is an interesting layout and a value. It is too bad that the turf conditions are abysmal.

Or lack of marshals or lack of golf etiquette by the course. The man behind the counter didn’t tell the patron that he couldn’t have a 5 person group and neither did the marshal at the first hole. We got at the first tee at our tee time and the starter said our other 2 some teed off a half early and we were to get in line behind groups that didn’t have tee times. Not a very good way to run a golf course. Even if it is a city course. The course was a little better than in January when we last played but was still under construction and very slow, it took 3 hours to play 9 holes because no body was policing the course. Golf Now should take them off of their list. I don’t mind if people don’t play well but when you don’t tell them that you can’t play as more than 4 and don’t police it then you won’t be getting any more of my money or good reviews. The course is very dry like a lot of other courses are, the layout is good and challenging. The practice areas are very good.

Overall pretty nice. There is poa annua grass popping up on several greens. Maintenance needs to apply chemical to prevent the growth of poa annua. Serious wash out areas on holes 5 and 16 because of the serious downhill slopes in the fairways. Those washed out areas need to be fixed. The end of the cart path on hole 15 at the tee needs to be dug up and brought level with the surrounding turf. Throughout the course there are areas I will call "potholes" that need to be filled in and install sod. The fairways need to be seeded as the grass is too thin in the fairways. To the starters please do not send out fivesomes.
