Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

The weather was good and the company was great. The course was in very good shape for winter conditions. The greens were the best in the area so far; however, they were a little slow. I had a hard time making myself hit it hard enough to get to the hole. The problem seemed to stem from the practice green which was really fast compared to those on the course. The staff was very pleasant to deal with and we had a great time. I hope to be back.

It would have been nice to know that the front nine is closed so we had to play the back nine twice. It made for a busy course. The greens are dormant so they are very fast. Tee boxes are in rough shape. The fairways are dry even with the rain we’ve had .

Arrived at course to be told the front nine was closed for maintenance. Pace of play was terrible because of it. Course was over booked.

The staff are horrid. They are rude and only respect members, anyone else they are rude to for no reason. The course is alright for it being so cheap to play. I would never recommend this course to any one specifically for the staff. But who knows maybe you catch them on a good day and they are nice.

Course was good. The course is good for not losing balls. Very easy to find balls in woods if you live in the woods like i do. Front 9 was being worked on but that was listed in this app and at course. I had gotten a hot deal for one because there was only one. The guy behind the counter was a little hesitant for me to play a single which is understandable. By the time i teed off there was no one in front and no one behind so i’m not sure what he was hesitant about. Either way a good experience today and a week ago when i played.

Could only golf 9 on the oaks because of a major renovation on the other 9 . Had to do the front 9 twice to get 18 in, which was fine. It didn’t slow play at all.

Nice course , well maintained, super courteous staff.

I've been playing FWB for many years. On this day I played the Oaks. Course was in the best shape I've seen in a very long time. Fairways had plenty of grass. More importantly, the greens were in great shape and rolled consistently. Normally the greens are like velcro and shaggy so this was a HUGE improvement! Looking forward to playing the Pines to see if it has also improved.

Everything about the course is great except course conditions. Fairways are super thin on grass and the greens are sloooooow and bummmmmmpy! No excuses ever for those conditions. Misplaced priorities by course management team.

You would think with all the increased play and revenue because of Covid they would at least have the greens and fairways in better shape. Greens are way slow and bumpy beyond belief. Fairways are very thin in the grass dept. With all the demolition taking place it appears money is being Budgeted for other projects at the expense of course conditions. The greens are awful and the fairways are not far behind. I can remember when it was in a lot better shape a few years back. My guess is money and politics are driving budgets for this municipal course.

Will be going more often. Haven't played it in about 6 years. Better than u remember.
