Afternoon 9

My wife and I played the front 9 on the oaks course Saturday afternoon
The course is in really good shape
Fairways and greens were well maintained
We had a nice lunch in the restaurant prior to playing
All the staff are nice , friendly and helpful
On minor issue was pace of play early in the round but loosened up after a couple holes
Overall an excellent day!

Rough round

Got there early was told to tee off when ready by the very nice pro shop attendant
Started on the bay course. Wow we thought we were playing in a cow field. Very poorly maintained
The back we played the marsh course. Much better condition
Fairways well maintained the greens were slow due to sanding but in decent shape
We were slowed down considerably by the 2some in front of us
Would have been nice to have been offered to play through
It was cheap but ya get what ya pay for
Lesson learned

Awesome day awesome course

My buddy and I got a hot deal for Blackstone and drove from Navarre to play this course
The driving range was closed but the chipping putting area was open so we warmed up there for a bit The course was really slow as in very few golfers and the young man in the club house let us start an hour early. Thank you!
The course was in very good shape Tee boxes need a little work but not a real issue
This course is very challenging especially the back nine with many hills and slopes. It’s somewhat narrow but if you can stay in the fairway You can score
I really enjoyed playing here. Nice course great value

Home course needs work

The oaks has been closed for maintenance for over a month
Parts of the course are in great shape other parts are horrible
Seems it could be in better condition and for Gods sake please get rid of those horrible mats on the driving range. They’ve been there for way too long. Not even close to hitting from the ground

Ok to the rest of the review. Overall course conditions fair

Pace of play due to only one course being open and high volume is slow at best.

Played the round with my wife enjoyed the day dispite slow play and mediocre course conditions

Play away

Played a leisurely round with 2 friends
Gave us each a cart due to present world conditions
Made the round go faster I like this!
Staff very friendly and accommodating
Course in good shape overall. Tee boxes need a little work but not horrible
Course is simple yet challenging with elevation changes and some fun risk reward holes
We had a nice day !
A pleasant respite from sitting home waiting the virus out
Thanks for staying open it’s greatly appreciated
We drove an hour to play here and it was worth it

Sunday funday

Went to play as a single was painted with another member and picked up a snowbird to start the round
We all played from different tees which seemed to help the flow as we had no one in front of us and no one pushing us all day

The weather was perfect the company was friendly and encouraging

We all played mediocre but thoroughly enjoyed the day the round and each other

Thanks Travis and Don !

Solo round

Course is in ok shape but it is winter

Pace of play was ridiculously slow at first due to an inexperienced older mixed 4some

I skipped a hole to get past them and things sped up for a little while then log jammed again

Took over 3 hours to play 18 as a single which is ridiculous

There are rangers/marshals on the course but didn’t see them try to help speed things up. Maybe a good teaching point

Sunday 4some

Me and 3 buddies played Sunday
Weather was great
Course in good shape
Pace of play was not bad until we got to 15. We were playing at a good pace The was a 2some behind us who we’re getting antsy and without asking us skipped the hole we were on and went to the next hole ok np but we got to the next hole and had to wait for them slowing us down
We get to 18 tee off and was about to hit my next shot and the 2some behind us hit into us. The ball rolling under my cart. This is unacceptable and from my perspective the ranger was no where in sight. That’s my only real issue with fwb golf club. The rangers aren’t trained to do the job or they just don’t. All I ever see them doing is filling in divots. See definition of golf course ranger.
I didn’t report any of this but be certain I will when it happens again because it will
Other than that had a great day with friends and that’s what matters

New irons 1st round

Got new TaylorMade irons and after some range work wanted to use them on the course
Big difference from my Wilson irons
Still trying to figure out distances but after a painful front 9 I settled down and started hitting them better
Had a fun round with the wife
The weather is perfect to play now with temps in the 70s. The course is in good shape
Come on out and play fwb golf club

Quick 18 with friend

My friend and I came out to play a quick18 on Monday around 230
Started out great no issues then it happened. A senior 3some , 1 walking. All beginners from what we saw and apparently unfamiliar with course etiquette or the rules
They hit into our fairway a couple times and once near our tee box
We waited for them to hit which took way too long. They had a couple chances to wave us thru but never did. The back 9 was almost unbearable. We finished the front 9 in an hour it took almost 2 hrs to play the back due to the extremely slow play of the 3some There was a Marshall driving around but he never did anything. Might wanna retrain as to what to look for to move things to an acceptable pace Course in good shape definitely worth playing

Great round spoiled by marshal

First I want to preface this review by saying the round we played with our wives the week before this round was also spoiled by the same marshal
He followed us all over the oaks course. We commented that it felt creepy because he was there watching our 4some. He was creeping our wives out
This week my buddy and I played alone the marshal didn’t follow us but we noticed he was following a 4some with 2 females
He also interfered with our round twice
First filling divots in the fairway when we were trying to tee off
The final time was on 18. I was in my backswing in the fairway and the same marshal came up behind us in his cart and kept going distracting me. He has no concept of what he’s supposed to be doing. Hes inconsiderate and if I see him stalking our group again I will confront him and report him to the pro shop. Both rounds were played during twilight. Other than him the round was great
Course is in great condition
Highly recommend playing here

Fun round bad greens

Had a great time golfing with my wife
The course was is good condition minus the greens which were sandy and had clumps on most of them probably due to recent reconditioning
Made it a lot more challenging
Need some variety in the snack bar lol seriously there’s virtually so limited bring food
Everyone was very chill and friendly
Good day especially the price
