Fun day, weather was great. Greens are fast but coming out of the winter dormant season. It really hasn't been warm enough yet for the growing season to kick in so there was some bumpiness to the greens. This should be temporary until they really start growing again.

Started out cold in the morning, was a slight delay due to frost on the greens. But it warmed up quickly in the low 60's. Greens are perfect and very fast. Great course to play.

A beautiful 65 degree day of golf. The greens were very fast with the dormant growing season during the winter months here in the FL Panhandle. The fairways are beautiful as well. All in all, the course is in excellent condition.

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.

Great course conditions to play. Greens are getting faster, very true.

Course is in great shape. Everything is plush and green. The greens are putting a bit faster this time of year due to the slower growing season.

Everything was in great shape. However, three of the greens (3, 4, an 5) had some damage from a hydraulic leak on the greens mower. It didn't affect the putting in anyway, it was just sad to see since they have worked so hard to renovate this course. It won't keep me from coming back though.

Great course to play in the Florida Panhandle.
Was a bit breezy for the first fall front to push through the area, but delightful with the cool temperatures it brought. Everything is in great shape.

Excellent service from the staff. The course is in good shape. Everything was green. Conditions are good.

Finally the extreme humidity and heat has left the area. It was still a little warm, but the humidity is below 50% and golfing is much more enjoyable. The course is in great shape and the greens are putting true. Fairways are great too.

Excellent course and layout, but keep your ball in the fairway! With the approaching fall, courses in the area tend not to cut the rough outside of the fairway. Therefore, it gets a little thick and your ball nestles down in the bermuda rough making it challenging to get out. Otherwise, the course is in very good shape. A fun course to play with many elevation changes.

Extremely hot last weekend. But the heat wave is moving out and getting back to normal. Course is in excellent shape since the renovations.

It's incredibly hot this time of year. Course condiditons are good, well watered and green. Bring a large towel to wipe off the sweat and several golf gloves, they will get drenched with sweat too. Still had a fun day, bevererage cart girl came by multiple times throughout the day.

Man it was hot, even at 9:30 am. Greens and course are in excellent condition. I guess the heat is keeping people away, I was able to play the front nine in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Just bring some water and plenty of gloves to exchange out and a large towel to wipe the sweat off.

The course renovations are excellent. Greens are in great shape. It was very hot, but after 50 years of playing here in Fort Walton Beach area, I'm used to it. My only complaint is I wish they flattened the tee boxes on holes 11 and 15. All the other holes are nice and level.

Beautifully restored greens. It was well worth the wait. My only complaint was a storm blew up and only got to play nine holes. I can't wait to get back and play.

The course is bouncing back from the maintenance they have been doing. Greens were punched and sanded over a week ago and are improving quickly. Did not see any Poa annua grass on the greens. Putting was a bit slower but should improve over the next week.

Acutally was on the Pines Course, not the Oaks.
Pace of play was great. Some of the greens had the Poanna grass which made for some bumpy putts and others had none. Fairways were nice.

Only gave a three star condition because of this time of year. The greens were quite fast, much so than normal of years past. However, there was evidence of the verti-cut aeration and a light sanding. This should improve in 7 to 10 days. I hope they keep it cut short to keep the greens fast. Other than that, the course is doing fine.

The course was in very good shape, except for some of the tee boxes, they can use a bit of TLC.
