Condition overall not bad

There are some significant washed out areas especially on holes #5 and #16 that seriously need fixing. These holes have serious downhill slopes so that makes it hard to get in good condition. They probably need to redesign those areas to prevent erosion. Could also use more grass in the fairways

Fun Course

This was my first time playing Ft Walton Pines course and it was an enjoyable round. I was paired with a 3 some from Iowa. Course was very slow as it was packed with senior citizen snowbirds. Fairways were fine but the greens were pretty bad. Overall I would play again as its still a decent value.

Slow Start

Teed off 20 minutes late for our 1:30 tee time. Very slow front nine. Opened up when people finished their nine hole bookings, and got our 18 in well before sunset. Liked the layout , but lots of shots off of rough ground even on the fairways ( which I hit occasionally). Some greens were iffy , but playable. Much better than several other area courses we have played this month, and I would come again. Would be great value if you score a "hot deal tee time.

Fun Course

My first time playing the Pines course was fun but very slow on the front 9. Snow bird season always brings out veerry slow play. Course had some dormant grass in the fairways but they were mowed and played fast. The Greens were all over the place Fast ,Slow and all bumpy. . I was paired with a trio from Iowa who were great fun. Overall course is being over used for snow bird season but thats Florida in the winter. Still a fun course to play. .
