Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club

In fairness, it’s winter golf. So, I need to play it during the summer to really get a feel for it. Limited grass of any kind on tee boxes. Fairways average. Greens bumpy. Hard to tell how the greens will look / play during season. I’ll play it some more as the price to course was decent. Will recommend it to others. Pretty open. Some water in play. Looking forward to playing Oaks course here.

Real old school layout. Tight parallel holes. A few tee boxes uncomfortably close to your last green. Several unique and interesting holes. With golf now deal it'd be a correct value.

Thought I'd give this one a shot. Played oaks. Check in was casual but confusing. Nice chipping and putting area while you wait. Starter didn't seem to care about your name or time. He just got it done efficiently. Time of year for dormant grass so you get tight lies. Bunkers were good and raked up. Greens were painted but smooth and a decent speed. Layout had some neat hole designs. Second or 3rd time playing you'd figure what to hit where on some holes on the back. Seemed more like a $30 value but supply and demand dictates.

Even though it was a bit breezy, had a great time at the Oaks. Greens are quicker since the cooler weather and the grass is in its dormant state. Fairways are still green and the rough is low, much easier to hit out of.

Thoroughly enjoyed my day. I would recommend this course!

Great practice and range layout. Challenging layout for. Ivey golfers like me. Fairways and greens in better shape for December than other near by tracks. Helpful and friendly staff. I will be back!
