Fun challenge

Pretty course with challenging holes. Plenty of tree lined fairways and fun rolling hills. Played on a Saturday afternoon so it was slow but not extremely.

People have different definitions of slow play but it is cool. Today a 3sum decided that they were going to be total 100 percent aholes and not let anyone play thru even though they clearly were holding groups up and of course the marshals did nothing about it. They even hit extra balls when they did not like the shot they hit. But boy when they were done, the clubs were in the vehicle and they were gone like a flash which told me and my playing partner they knew they were being aholes. Guessing they teed off around 1130 today so the golf management can figure out who they were and inform them not to come back.

Slow play

The Pines course was closed so the Oakes was packed. Group of five players in front of us that was extremely slow. Was able to get around them at the turn. Fairways and tee boxes were pretty good greens were slow and had some weeds. Overall you have a hard time finding a better value in Ft Walton Beach. Staff could have been friendlier, made me pay for a rider that wasn’t playing golf.

I hear you - was out there also the same day I believe. Too many wannabe golfers with no manners at all. The other golf courses in the county are in better shape and just a few dollars more so you should have looked a little harder plus they are not as busy and their course marshals actually do their job. Be nice when the visitors start leaving this area since 95 percent of them cant golf and ave nho maners

Not great

Course was not in great shape. Greens had been aerated which we knew but the problem was the bumpiness due to the inconsistent grasses (different types) and the sparcity of grass. Fairways were also lacking sufficient grass.

New corse play

Paired well with 3 guys from my home state. Narrow fairways played well. Had a great time! Only thing I didn’t like was no cart person for refreshments during play.

Thanks for a great day!

Fort Walton Beach Golf Course Oaks

Overall the course was in good condition considering the growing season has not really kicked in yet. There was good grass coverage on the greens and fairways. Improvements could be made on the tee boxes. There were several that were “crowned” and it was difficult to find a level spot to tee your ball. The trees were healthy live oaks and most of the natural plants and trees appears healthy.

The fairways are in good shape but the greens are terrible. Tee boxes are not flat and a couple are mostly sand. Would not pay full price on weekends but the weekday rate was ok for the course conditions.

Good course. A little dried out.

It has been really dry lately and the course is showing it some. Greens were better before the heat and dry set in. Tee boxes need to grow grass - lots of sand. Fairways decent.

The course had areas of fairway with no grass.

Greens were very fast (good) but very hard to read.
