Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

Never fails when you have out of towners or out of state golfers - have no golf manners at all. Poor single player that caught up to them on the front nine had to wait until the 18th hole until they FINALLY let him play thru. That is unfortunately when the rain came down. What was the deal around 3PM with 4 different groups all on the 1st tee? Need to control when people actually go out on the course and don't let players tee off early. Of course they got drenched so that was kind of funny. Partners and I will recommend people to play this course once the out of towners get the heck out of our way!

Golfers who make a tee time for the morning that are single players - that isn't going to happen and that is something the golf course has made known quite a few times. Afternoons might be a different manner but mornings there are no single players.

I’ve played here quite a few times and I’ve usually enjoyed my rounds here but it’s only been downhill the last year. The greens are terrible, huge spots of dead grass and lots of sand all over. The tee boxes are like hitting out of a bunker especially on the par threes. The cups look like they haven’t been cut for a week or more, dead edges and mostly jacked up all the way around. I won’t play here again until the pines opens back up. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

So when the Pines opens up to MEMBERS only, who is going to be the first to try and play the Pines as a non-member - even if he/she tries to play with a member because you know it is going to happen FWB Golf Course Management so how are you going to prevent that from happening? I am assuming as a non-member I cannot play the Pines even with a member correct??

Interesting to note for 31 July that a LOT of tee times are still wide open which leads us to believe that either people wait until the day they want to play to make a tee time online (nothing wrong with that) or they are total hillbilly knuckleheads who just drive out to the course expecting to play. A practice the golf course needs to stop unless it is like after 3PM. No tee time in advance? No playing.

Decent course. Not easy. Trees are beautiful. Staff was very friendly.

Purpose of the title is when the golf course CONSTANTLY double books tee times, I know their theory is making money but golfers do not remotely play at the same pace plus as I have heard multiple times, these people do not know that a tee time means that is your tee time - not before and DEFINITELY not after! If for example a 2 some has a tee time, THAT IS IT! Do not keep that time open for other golfers to use - it just backs the course up more and more - especially with only one course available! Don't frustrate the golfers - especially the loyal local golfers, whether members or not!!!!

Nice layout and pretty challenging, greens had been aerated, but getting good now, pace of play kind of slow, the staff was friendly and courteous, overall nice course and great price.

Over 4 hours to play a round of golf all thanks to one 3some (out of towners of course). Don't know what they were doing but 90% of the time it was not golf. 90 year old women can play better than them. Lord knows why they even own golf clubs LOL! Few days of rain coming but of course there will be people thinking they can actually play - good luck with that! I guess at least for a bit when the Pines opens up the members won't have to worry about the out of towners being in their way - good on the golf course management in doing that - just hope they stick to that because you know the non-members and out of towners will be whining like little (word starts with B).

Took the family out for a nice round of golf. ⛳️ The staff were very nice and welcoming and for the location you can’t beat it! Will definitely go again! Price wasn’t bad either!

Marshals have to either get people moving or get them out of the way - simple as that. Holding 3 groups up and people teeing off on #1 late is unacceptable. And 6 people in one group - come on - seriously? Other 18 hole golf courses do not have half the problems the Oaks does.

The course was in rough shape. We played the Oaks 18, but had to play the front 9 twice since the back 9 was under repair. I liked the course layout, at least the 9 holes I got to play anyway. Course is laid out to where you use all the clubs in the bag, which I like. Greens were shaggy and extremely slow! Bunkers were like playground sand. I do see this course as a decent value, but I did not select to reccomend to a friend because of having to play front 9 twice. Staff were great.

No where on golf now did it say that one of the two courses would be closed and the other would only have the front nine open. Once you finished 9 and started over, you were stuck between other groups which slowed down play. No one was on the course offering drinks - and one of their water coolers was empty. Staff was very nice but there was no advanced knowledge of the course conditions and no discount for it.
