Don't Waste Your $$

Fort Walton Beach Golf Club is in terrible shape. Greens are in horrible condition, fairways are covered with sand and tree roots and pace of play was very slow. Not worth the frustration. Play somewhere else!

Awful Stay Away

I live in fort Walton and have played the course dozens of times. This is the worst conditions I have ever seen it in by far (weeds and sand on the greens, tee boxes just sand, minimal grass in fairway, rough areas is like hitting off concrete). Additionally, I called to make the tee time it took 6 minutes .. it was the strangest golf course booking process I’ve ever been apart of. 2 for 18 at 1:00 on the oaks… idk why it took 6 minutes to sort that out. Oh and lastly when we pulled up to the first tee there was a line of 8 carts at our tee time … The Marshall wasn’t even pairing people up. So a single would go out, then a two some, then another single. Completely ridiculous stay away.

Challenging track

At first glance, it looks pretty rough, but the overall playability is really good and the greens actually roll really well even though they look like they don’t or would not. Little lift clean and place is in order but overall a fun round!

Puts a premium on accuracy.

Course still in partial dormancy, so hard to say how it plays in season.

Grumpy old men

Got out at 7:00am, but was met with people that seemed like they owned the course. Didn't want anyone to go ahead of them, even though they were not ready to play. Strange experience.

Live Oaks

Live Oak leaves can make it difficult to see your ball if the sun is in your face. So, go past where you think the ball is, and look back with the sun behind you.

Very nice layout. Still in winter mode, probably better when they seed it and it warms up. Greens not good at this time.

Snowbird

Winter Play

Fairways= excellent

Greens so so, a bit scuffed up. Played a little like carpet, minimal breaks but fast.

Tees in great shape

Course winds around a bit can get a little confusing in spots between holes.

OK for the price

Course is in below average condition, but the price is right. Greens are below average.
