Pines at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

Greens are coming around. Not in great shape but very playable. Course is very playable, especially coming out of winter.

The Pines course is a dream for the beginner and intermediate golfer. I would highly recommend it to all my friends.

Had a great game on the Pines. Staff were extremely pleasant . Course was in good shape. Some of the greens had bad spots, but to be expected this time of the year.

This course has suffered in recent years from lack of upkeep . Greens not green . Fairways not green . Cart paths bumpy and broken .
The whole place needs a little TLC .

Always great to play the pines. Open clean and friendly and the oaks is a Great course too. Never disappointed.

The greens were recently redone and I think they did a really good job. I play this course often and it was quite a difference after their green renovation. I was very pleased with it and had a great time on the course.

Got to the course front nine was closed asked if we could play the other course was told yes but for full rate was told by staff that because we booked it on line we didn't know that the course was under repair

Greens are in really bad condition. The rest of the course is fine

The Pines is the perfect course for those who are beginning golf or haven't been playing long. Nice and open, lots of flat areas to hit from. Tees and fairways in good shape. A couple of greens were distressed, but I hear that's common for this time of the year in Florida. Staff extremely friendly. Front nine was closed for maintenance, so played back nine twice. Mostly had the course to ourselves. Will definitely play this one the next time I'm in the area.

Fairways and environs were great as usual and the staff and groundsmen are consistently the best.
The only detractor are the damaged greens, but that has been a recurring problem this year at most golf courses I/we have played at.

Greens are not that good, but course is beautiful and staff super nice.

We got rained out on the 10th hole so we had to leave.

I really consider FWB my home course, but I wasn't thrilled w/ the condition that the greens were in at all on my last few visits. I understand that some of the areas in the fairways and rough were a bit soggy due to the huge amounts of rain that were dumped on the area recently, but the putting greens were splotchy, scorched patches of dirt and sand in more spots than not. I'm not sure what this is due to but look forward to the course maintenance crew resolving this issue in the near future.
I truly do enjoy playing the Oaks and the more challenging Pines courses and will continue to do so regardless. It was just irritating to reach the green in regulation many times, only for the putts I was left w/ to not have a fighting chance because of the green conditions. I'll be happy to write another review once the repair takes place.

Most greens are in very bad shape but rest of course is ok.

One of the beat courses in the area however the greens are destroyed!!!! Wait until they grow back and you will love this course. At the moment it's not worth playing at all if you want to play until the ball drops. Green condition cannot be stressed enough. Save your $ and time. If/When they grow back. Tee it up!!!

I always try to play the courses at Ft Walton Beach when we come down to the Panhandle from Wisconsin. It's a great value and only a short drive from Destin. Even though its owned by the city, it's well kept up and a nice challenge

The grass on the greens is almost all gone. Mostly caked crumbly dirt with a patch of surviving grass around the pin placement. Most of fairways have fair grass. The course apparently did not survive the huge rain storm of a week or so ago. Hope they recover as it is an easy and pleasant course to play but could not recommend it right now.

Compared to its sister course, the Pines weathered the recent storm quite well. (From the looks of it; the Oaks could be shut for a little while).
The Pines course's greens are going through; what seems like a periodical stage of Brown Spots that keep making its returns every so many years except, that this is the second or third year in a row of the greens malady.
Other than this fastidious reoccurring problem the course is holding its own; none the less to credit are the maintenance personnel at our muni courses.

wonderful golf experience from check-in to departure..no complaints extremely satisfied thank you golfnow the money I saved paid for my drinks and lunch at the turn. I will return

I enjoy the layout of the course - fits my game very well. Greens were slow and several greens had major issues especially around the edges - could be because we have had some much rain in the past couple of months. Fairways ok, bunkers ok.
