Winter leaves still there

Hard to find your ball when not in the middle. They haven't picked up the leaves from the fall. Other than that the course is in good condition.

Pine Course at Ft Walton Beach

Course in very rough condition, and played behind walkers who didn't care to move very fast. When fog rolled in, had to quit because of pace of play and temperature drop.

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.
