Pines at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

Decent track, good pace of play. Sod fairways are a little rough

The punching of the greens was still evident, but was not bad. Some if the fairways was sparse but other wise good. Was not informed of a Lady’s tournament that we had to follow. The front desk guy was bland. The starter did inform me of the tournament. But the price was good. An above average muni.

The tee bases and fairways are below average. There is a lot of non grass areas in them. The greens are average. The value was above average. The overall experience was good. The overall rating I would give is 3.3.

We played the Pines a beautiful course with extremely friendly staff wide open fairways beautiful greens and a slow foursome in front of us so we enjoyed the scenery

We were travelling that day to Florida, and called several times inquiring if our tee time was still good due to the severe weather. Multiple people in the shop told us to call back after 2:00pm. (Our original tee time was 1:04pm.) We finally got an answer after calling a twice after 2:00pm that they may be ready for us to walk the course after 2:30pm. Because we had dinner plans, there was no way walking the course at that time would work; 2:00pm would have been pushing it for us as it is. I told the golf pro that, and asked for a rain check. I was told that I would have to take it up with GolfNow since that's who I booked through. When I told him that GolfNow could only help me if the tee time was cancelled by the course due to weather, he told me there was nothing that he could do. They would not cancel my tee time even though the course was closed for weather during my tee time! I'm stuck with no resolution due to GolfNow's policy, because the course would not just cancel it what was already cancelled.

Buyer beware. If you're interested in playing this course, just book directly with them. They do not work well with adhering to booking rules from 3rd parties.

Greens are not there yet. Difficult to figure out. Didn't make a putt all day.

Yes its that time of the year Airiation of the Greens . So putting is let's say Challenging , Fairway condition is poor on the Pines course. But it has been a wet month.

Pace of play is out of control. Played 9 holes today in 3.5 hours. Sat behind a group of 4, group of 5 and another group of 4.

Course was in pretty good shape. The greens aren't very fast. Could have gotten a better deal if I had called the golf course and booked directly instead of going thru Golfnow.
