Golfer Reviews
Great course to play being out of town will play again
Great course to play fast pace greens will definitely play again
Why Do Some People Even Golf
To the golfers with the Pennsylvania license plate on your vehicle take some advice. All of you in the 4some take your clubs and donate them somewhere; probably a garbage can would be best. AND learn some fricking courtesy on the course and NO, there were NOT other 4 somes ahead of you that could be seen ANYWHERE on the Oaks. GO back to your own golf courses or like it was said, donate your clubs because none of you 4 could golf. Now as for the single golfer that was directly behind you - same advice - donate your clubs because we know you could not even stay with the 4some in front of you hardly and you CERTAINLY did not even come close to breaking a 110 even. The single behind that sorry 4some and single we felt a little bad for because at least that old guy (looked old anyway) could definitely hit some good shots AND he kept moving. No course marshal was seen or beverage girl the whole day! Golfers need to recognize players behind them that are much faster and let them play thru. It takes less than 5 minutes normally for at least a decent golfer to play thru. Love to know the names of the clowns with the Pennsylvania or the single behind them so they could be contacted and told by the golf course (of course the golf course knows who they are by them signing for carts) NOT TO COME BACK LOL. It will be nice I am sure for the members to have the Pines back and visitors should not be given any tee times on either course before noon BUT especially when you have the Pines back - not even a member and I still say members only on the Pines period for months at least.
So rain the past couple of days BUT have driven by the course and seen morons actually playing in the thunder, lightning, and rain. Other than getting killed out there, you golfers do realize you are tearing the course up for us local golfers right? And more heavy rain coming today but again, you see a ray of sunshine and out there you will be because well, you're selfish morons. Golf course should close for at least one day and let the course dry out. A lot of us wish the out of towners would stay away.
Superb? Pace of play average? You are in some type of fantasy land. Tee times were evidently delayed the day you played and there were walkers so it was hardly average. People played Tuesday with the thunder, lightning, and torrential rain. Whoever you are, you have absolutely no respect for the maintenance of the golf course and if you got killed by lightning, your family could not sue the golf course and a lack of any brains is clearly evident.
Today round of golf right about 4 hours which some find reasonable or acceptable but 18 holes should NEVER take more than 3 hours but with the stacking constantly of tee times right on top of each other, all it takes usually is a walker or two or a few women or 4somes that belong on a miniature golf course vs a real golf course to hold the ENTIRE course up - not just a particular 9 holes. Pace of play at best was fair today - 2some in front of us pretty slow and they had a cart!
Seriously doubt your golf skill is what you say it is if you don't even know your handicap and you play once a month on average - means you don't even break 100 LOL
If you say pace of play was excellent you must have played early in the day
Best ball
Us over 80 year old golfers try and get together for a game of golf once a week. We play best ball and have a great time. We scored 6 under par which is not to bad for us Senior citizens. The course was in good condition even though they had recently top dressed the greens.
6 under using your handicap I gather
Such a pleasure today with really only one group of 6 (idiots) but they did let us play through at least so they did have some manners. Got to love the guys who bring their wives or girlfriends out with them like they golf good enough to impress anyone with their total lack of golf skill. All you out of towners stay off our course thank you very much
Bad Bogey
This course was in terrible conditions! The fairways were cut extremely low and the pace of play was slow! Marshall’s knew this but did nothing about it! I
Don’t waste your time or money on this course. Course layout was terrible!
Play your own courses in Destin then and stay off of ours! 2 other reviews on the same day show fair and excellent for ratings so thinking you are a whiner who sucks at golf LOL. Now no one can play Oaks course all 18 holes until at least Thursday so that will hopefully keep the foreigners from other states and well, people like YOU off the course here!
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.
I know it is tough for about 75 to 80 percent of you all locals and visitors but TRY to move it along - golf should NOT take over 3 hours to play. If it takes you longer, you don't belong on a golf course - you need to be playing putt putt golf so just move it along or let faster players play through !
