Casual round

Me and a buddy played Wednesday

The course is in very good shape

Tee boxes, fairways and greens all👍🏼👍🏼

Such a beautiful day but we never saw a cart person

Can’t complain about not making money if you don’t have anyone selling out on the course

Pace of play on front nine was slow due to a couple in front of us. Exceptionally slow and didn’t offer to let us play through

Never saw a Marshall either

Underrated

First time playing Oaks. Fun layout. Not long. Greens were near flawless. Tee boxes a little chewed up. I’ll give a B+

Nice course great staff

Always enjoy both their courses. Fairly well maintained, super friendly staff and good value. Don't spend hundreds of dollars to play by the beach. Drive a bit from the beaches to find Ft Walton Beach course.

I wouldn't exactly listen to this guy who should be playing his own golf courses there in Destin/SanDestin. Most of the tee time backup of people problems is guys like this who drive out of their way to bother those of us who live or are members of Fort Walton Beach golf course. There is Eglin, Hurlburt Field, Bluewater Bay, and 2 courses in Crestview - go play there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fort Walton beach golf course

I enjoyed the round. Played the oaks course. I felt it was in good shape. The greens were a little slow. Fairways were nice. Not a country club type course but rates were great. Would play again.

Old farts best ball play

We are all over 80 and have lost a lot of distance over the years. A best ball play is what we try to do once a week. We normally score under par from the forward tees. The city courses are in great condition.

Peter nice for a city course. Greens needed cutting seemed a little fuzzy. Lots of shoe marks from careless golfers dragging feet.

Avg course in avg condition.

Played the Pines course. They were aerating the Oaks course. This is a standard muni course that will do in a pinch. Couple of memorable holes but otherwise just a flat track in fair condition. Came here because most other courses in Destin Sandestin were aerating. Probably wont return.

Great Course, but desperately needs a course marshal.

Course is great, greens are nice. However when you get stuck behind people who are also stuck behind a group of 8 it is almost impossible to finish unless you expect to be there for 6 hours…. Other than that great course.

Great Value for Area

Great course for warmup round to play the top area courses! Was in very good condition from tees to fairways to greens!

The only negative would be that there are zero memorable holes or even remotely pretty holes, just a normal muni but in really good condition!

Would play again or maybe try the Pines course.
