Slow play

The course is getting out of hand… greens are terrible, tee boxes , same. Doesn’t look like they are treating any weeds growing in the greens. Playing behind a 5 somes, and 2 foursomes that took forever..

That is because the golf course constantly double books the same tee time. Backs everything up and the course manager David could care less.
City Council needs to look at a new golf course manager. Should not be strictly about money and members ONLY should get to make tee times until 10AM.

Great course

A lot of people saying the course is in bad shape. It’s coming out of winter people. This course is played very heavily everyday. For the money the course is really fun. It’s wide open for all levels. Hit it right or left you can find the ball no problem. Are the greens perfect? No they are not. Is this a great city course absolutely. Want to play a course that’s prestine then go pay 150 a round to play that course. We had a foursome with two beginners had a great time and the staff was wonderful. We like it and will play it again. Don’t expect a 150.00 course for 50.00 it’s not going to happen. I doubt anyone who gives negative reviews for this course can break 100 on any given day at any course. Enjoy the game and have fun that’s what it’s about.

Good points - just remember to stay out of our way when we are playing since I am sure we are faster than your group.

4 star? Must be paying for reviews

Lots of leaves, tee boxes and greens were the worst I’ve ever played. The last couple ratings were 4 stars and I shouldn’t have believed them. Easily the worst course I’ve ever played. Not sure how you putt on greens with no grass and get any idea of how well you can putt. We payed for 18 and left after 9. Might be a value at $15-20

Oaks Course

A pretty standard municipal course feel, one problem I had was groups of 5 and 6 people were allowed really slowing up the pace. Greens were not in good shape at all. Other than that it’s not the worst course Ive ever played, layout is user friendly making play manageable for average golfers.

Golf course is know nfor allowing too many big groups and double stacking tee times which makes it miserable for us members. Told them often enough to just let members make tee times and then at like 10:00 AM each day, open it up for non-members. Out of towners can afford to come here and stay on the beach; they then can afford to golf in Destin.

First play

The rate booked on your website was wrong. They needed more money. All tee boxes were a mixture of dirt and sand
