The tees were verti cut,trees need a lot of trimming,,the course needs attention.if you want to get people around in under 4.5 hours,you need to make it more open.beginners can’t play and enjoy this side,compared to the pines…I will play the pines,only..

Well, either get better with your golf game or if the pace is too slow, go play somewhere else. See - problem solved.

Go golf somewhere else then if you don't like the course or pace of play. Fort Walton is all about money and allowing far too many golfers to play.

Typical Florida course

I played as a single. Was between a 3 some and 4 some. Playing time was well over 4 hours due to a slower group head of us. Greens were good, fairways lacked grass. For the location it was ok, but I would not go back or recommend it to a friend.

Oaks Play First Time

Only two holes recent shape and they weren’t anything above average. Well worn and played. Beautiful layout. Could be a challenging course. However, everything about it needs help. Play the Pines. Better condition by far.

Poor course conditions

The greens were in terrible shape.
Played in afternoon and there was no organization regarding groups and teetimes.
One positive aspect was there were shortage of carts with adequate electric charge but when our cart quit after 10 holes, staff brought us a new cart quickly
