Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

Really enjoyed playing here again. The oaks being a bit more challenging than the Pines. Good time had by all. Staff was friendly and courteous.

Nice layout but greens were slow. Pace was good. The breakfast was really good for early tee time golfers.

Good value for the money. Slow play today could use starters out there or Rangers keep it flowing better. Other than that very good course.

Played the Oaks for the first time and what a gem for the price! Greens, fairways, and tees all in good shape. Great course at a value price for Destin area. Multiple tee boxes for as much of a challenge that you want!! Kudos to the superintendent!!

Great course, great value. My only suggestion is that today we let a group of one and two play through. The individual we let play through supposedly played another round and harassed us about playing through. I thought this quite rude. I suggest that management tell these golfers that they do not have right away and are not aloud to request to play through again.

Otherwise, awesome course. Will be back.

I’ve played at FWB golf club three times. Twice at Pines course, and once at the oaks (during the week and weekend). And it’s taken me at least four and a half hours to play each round. Doesn’t really matter what your tee time is because you’re going to have 5-6 groups of players on hole one waiting to tee off . They should probably spread out their tee times instead cramming in as many people as they can. It’s not fun playing that way.

But that’s my only complaint. The golf course is in great condition, really fun to play, and not terribly hard. The practice areas are awesome. You can actually improve your game here. And the staff is cool, very friendly and helpful.

They had a tournament going on, which took up the Pines course. When we got there for our tee time, at the Oaks course, there were no carts available. There were probably 20 - 25 of us waiting for carts to finish and come in. After about an hour of waiting, we got a refund and left and went to another course nearby. If they knew this tournament was going to be as big as it was, why would they continue to book tee times...they had to know they couldn't accomodate everyone. It was a cluster!

The pace of play was very slow and backed up. No Marshall’s. The fairways grass was way to short and the greens weren’t in that good of shape.

My group played and we had fun. Some of us played after not playing for 2 years. Not to difficult especially when your as bad as me. We got into our groove on the back 9 on Oaks Course.

Played this course as one of first dips in FL golf upon relocating here to Panama City. We had a blast, played from the tips and enjoyed hitting longer irons on approach. My only critique is the greens were inconsistent on speed. The condition of them held shots but were beat up. Given the weather any course has had to endure this was not really bad and for a muni on a budget I’d say they were doing pretty good. I was surprised by the elevation change on the back 9 (pines course). We’ll be definitely playing here again and hit the oaks course next time.

The only other disappointing factor was that the Edwin Watts Golf Shop on site was closed and emptied out.

I suppose because it’s very reasonably priced especially for the locals. Some wet spots, the tees were pretty chewed up and the greens were.slow but it is challenging and fair so we came back for a second round. Worth the price.
