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.
