Surprise!

I booked a round at one of the two courses here, only to find when we arrived that the course was closed, so played the remaining course, which we had played previously. Oh well...will try again in the future.

Enjoyed the day

Played first nine by myself. Hooked up with a few others was pleasant not stressful. Being a new focused golfer it was good. Enjoyied the good conditions should have played better not the course. Should have scored better couldn’t get it right on approach shots. Will try again nice course for me. Thanks

Great round spoiled by marshal

First I want to preface this review by saying the round we played with our wives the week before this round was also spoiled by the same marshal

He followed us all over the oaks course. We commented that it felt creepy because he was there watching our 4some. He was creeping our wives out

This week my buddy and I played alone the marshal didn’t follow us but we noticed he was following a 4some with 2 females

He also interfered with our round twice

First filling divots in the fairway when we were trying to tee off

The final time was on 18. I was in my backswing in the fairway and the same marshal came up behind us in his cart and kept going distracting me. He has no concept of what he’s supposed to be doing. Hes inconsiderate and if I see him stalking our group again I will confront him and report him to the pro shop. Both rounds were played during twilight. Other than him the round was great

Course is in great condition

Highly recommend playing here

Beautiful Greens

Course is in excellent shape. Greens are very good and a moderate speed. No weeds on the greens. The Oaks course is a bit narrower thus it is wise to hit the fairways, otherwise, your only option is to get it back into the fairway.

Excellent challenging golf!

This course is in far better shape than many of the courses located nearby. Public course that has a well educated staff and very knowledgeable greenskeeper, The greens are in very good shape and the fairways are also nice. Definitely worth the money considering the caliber of courses in the area that charge 2 or 3 times more to play and are not as nice as Fort Walton's municipal courses.

Green and Plush

The course was in excellent shape. The Oaks Course is somewhat narrower than the Pines course so precision off the tee is somewhat required. The fairways were plush and green. The greens were beautiful and quick. No weeds. The staff has done a remarkable job on improving the course conditions over the past 4 years. Even with the lack of rain here in the past month, the course is not burned out.

Due to the weather being great there a lot of players on the course so pace was a little slow but that’s to be expected

Overall great day

Pretty nice for a muni

Played alone on a Wednesday mid-morning. Played in 2 hours and I hit an extra ball on 3 or 4 holes. Greens were funny, one was slow and one was fast some were normal?? How they were cut? Not sure. some sanding had been done on some low growth spots but overall for the dog days of summer pretty good. Fairways were good overall. Some of the rough was tough to even find your ball let alone hit out of it and advance your ball very far. We have had a lot of rain and it has probably been to wet to cut but it is still tough to play out of. I like the layout of the Oaks better than the Pines personally. I play here when I find the GN deals for $12 to $15 and I know I can get around in my pace of play. I am one that slow play eats me up, pick a club and hit your shot! Overall I like FWB muni and appreciate the staff.
