Tight layout

The greens were really great. Most of the fairways and tees were good too with a few exceptions. There were a couple of steeply sloped fairways that were hard pan or even washed out. The layout was tight with many blind shots and holes to close together. I could see golfers getting hit from balls coming from adjacent fairways. They had a Marshall to speed up play which helped some. For a Monday morning this course was crowded but we played in about 4:15 hrs.

The good, bad and ugly.

Let’s start with the good. The course is beautiful and reasonably maintained. The rolling hills of the fairways are surrounded by green, lush mountains with beautiful views. The bentgrass greens were near perfect but rolled a little slow probably due to morning rains. Most tees and fairways were in really good shape.
The bad consisted of empty ice/water coolers on both front and back nines. The coolers were being used as a trash can. Also bad was a five hour round played on a Monday afternoon. The drunk twosome that held everyone up was the worst. They each hit multiple balls until they hit one they liked or decided to move on to the next drink. A Marshall could have corrected the slow play and sent the drunks packing. Bad too was the restaurant being closed when we finished the round at 4:30 pm. Your website shows it open 11:00 am til 8:00 pm. We were looking forward to food and drink overlooking the course. The traps were also unkept.
The ugly part was of a few rough and rugged areas round some tees and a few mountainous fairways. Some spots were clearly ground under repair and that’s understandable. The most ugly was the aforementioned drunk(s) driving the cart between two trucks in the parking lot and scraping the sides of the vehicles. Fortunately, one of the trucks belonged to my playing partner and he was kind enough to let it go since his truck was already scratched and well worn.

Needs improvement

The Pines is an old school municipal course that gets lots of play. It has wide fairways and very little trouble other than a few bunkers and ponds. Fairways were hard allowing for plenty of roll. The greens were in rough shape due to weeds and lots poa annua. There is an excellent clubhouse, restaurant, Edwin Watts golf shop and friendly staff. The range was large and there was several practice areas. There are actually two courses located here. I played the other course, The Oaks, last fall. It was much more challenging.

Great value!

Beautiful course and great value. Bent grass greens are good with above average speed. A few bad spots on greens here and there but very playable. Fairways are tight now that Bermuda grass is dormant. Traps were in very good shape and fortunately I was only in one. They always seem to be making improvements on this course. Several newly sodded tees and areas around the course. I will play here more often.

Old school Florida course

Great value at Ft. Walton municipal. Oaks Course was in good shape, bunkers were raked, greens were shaggy and slower than what I was accustomed to. Fairways were decent but narrow with many overhanging trees. Tight fairways accurately describes the course. I will play here again and try the Pines course next time. Also, great range and practice area. Nice clubhouse and restaurant too.

Beautiful course

The bentgrass greens were spotty and slow. Some were a bit washed out from rain runoff. Some tees were beat up and sparse. With that being said, the fairways were beautiful and the overall course conditions were good.

Beautiful Course!

We played after a lot of rain so the course was wet. The layout was great, greens in good shape, fairways were still dormant. There was a lot of poa annua growing in the fairways, around the tees and greens. This will die off in the summer but it can leave dead spots. The course had removed (still cutting) large trees that shaded some tees and greens. This was a good sign they are working to reestablish grass where it had died or was very thin. I loved the way the course had many holes skirting around the edges of the lake. Absolutely a great design and most pleasing to the eye. My group lives about 3 hours away but we will come back when the course greens up during the peak playing season.

Great value near Destin

Well worth the 30 minute trip from Destin. Older course with some challenging holes. Well maintained with nice size fairways. Greens were recovering from aeration but they were rolling smooth. I didn’t use the clubhouse or restaurant but it’s semi private with members hanging out. I will come back and play again.

Beautiful layout!

The course is beautiful and the greens were in good shape, however there are some maintenance issues that need attention. The grass around the aprons on most greens was dead or thin. Weeds have crept into theses areas. Many fairways were thin and some had bare spots. Traps needed raked and trimming around the lips. I would still recommend the course but the prices are high considering the current conditions. Friendly staff!

Fantastic new greens!

Played here for the first time since the course reopened with their new Tifteagle Bermuda greens! Wow! the greens are in great shape and the fastest I've played in awhile. The old greens were undulating and these are too. Be prepared for some slick putts. Overall this has been a great course in NW Georgia for 40 years and the new greens only enhance the experience. You must play this course!!

Great shape! Fantastic greens!

This course is in the best shape ever, I mean ever!!! Greens fantastic and fast! Tees, fairways, traps all good too! It will never be one of my favorite layouts but I will continue to play it provided the conditions remain good. The noise from I-20 is annoying on the last couple of holes. Worth every penny!

Beautiful course and layout!

Although this course is surrounded by housing, it is beautiful with many natural areas and abundant wildlife. The conditions were good considering the recent hurricane. Fairways, tees and traps were in great shape. We were, however, highly disappointed in the "new Bentgrass greens". They're over a year old now but very rough and spotty. I love Bentgrass greens when they are in cooler climates. I don't understand installing bentgrass in coastal, hot, humid areas. In fact, I read where 90% of greens in the Myrtle Beach area are some type of Hybrid/Bermuda grass. That tells you something. By chance, my group played two Bentgrass and one Bermuda course this week. The Bermuda green was in far better condition than the two Bentgrass. I would recommend this course in cooler months, November to April, when the greens should be at their best.

Waste bunkers!

This course was rough around the edges with waste areas running beside each fairway. Bermuda Greens were good though. Staff was friendly and helpful. My cart seat was broken and I felt I was leaning out of the cart. The cart eventually ran out of power on the 13th hole and we had to call for a replacement. They quickly brought us another cart. It appeared they needed a new fleet of carts. Also, a very limited practice area. There are just too many nicer courses in the area to recommend this on

Nice layout!

We played here based on reviews and recommended value. Loved the layout. Three holes had flooded after hurricane Michael and they lost a green. With that in mind, the course was in decent shape except for the Bentgrass greens. They were spotty and needed repair or replacement.

Improving!

Don't be taken by any recent 5 star reviews. The course is getting better but still only ranks as 3 star in my book. Greens are pretty nice and tee boxes have been renovated. Fairways were lush due to recent rains. Traps were washed out from the same rains. Staff, cart girl and pub waitress were very nice. My biggest complaint about the course is how overgrown the trees, shrubs, weeds and waste areas are. That may sound trival, but this course is so tight and narrow that any miss hit ends up totally out of play. Simply put, there is no margin for error. The overgrowth runs along the edges of the fairways and even makes driving the cart path an adventure. The waste areas that have to be carried have scrub trees and brush that are too tall and obscure the green or landing area. Plan on losing some balls unless your a 10 or less handicapper.

The course was in the best condition ever. Fairways, tees, greens were all good. Traps were wet and sand packed down. Great value for seniors $28. Layout is hilly with some blind shots. Greens were sandy and a little slow.

Improving!!!

Played here for the first time in nearly a year. The course has come a long way since then. The bentgreens are very good but a little slow. They continue to repair bad spots with new turf. Cart paths and water break areas are nice. A new bathroom was built between the 6th and 7th holes. Traps have been renovated and new sand added to some. Certain bunkers are now sodded and have become grass bunkers while others are "environmentally sensitive areas". The tee boxes and fairways need some TLC. Poa anna has crept into the Bermuda fairways and seems dominate on some. All in all the course is heading in the right direction.

Needs some TLC

This is a high traffic course that is way overpriced for its conditions. It was extremely wet and cart path only. The greens were mostly good although some appeared to be nothing more than painted dirt around the edges. It's very tight, not long, a shot makers course. Many deep bunkers guard the greens so accuracy is key to scoring. Although its a pretty course situated around Lake Acworth, it has some poor drainage conditions. There are washed out areas due to the slopes and hilly terrain. And, like many southern courses, there are way too many pine trees that shade and ultimately kill out the Bermuda fairways around the edges. For this course to return to pristine condition they need to cut about 50 trees around the tees and edges of the fairways and resod those areas were the grass has died.

Great course.

Beautiful course with good Bentgrass greens, and plenty of well raked traps. Greens were fast. In spite of the rainy days we've had, the course was in decent shape with only the low spots still soft. Tees were overseeded with rye but fairways still dormant. There are many creeks and several lakes and ponds that come into play. The fairways are generous and there is a tee box for all levels of play. I scored my lowest all time score so I was happy playing here.

Great course!

Played shortly after a rain storm but the course was not to wet. Everything was beautiful. Tees, fairways and greens. I had my second eagle during this round so that made everything better. Seriously, the course was in good shape. The greens are firm but they held shots real well. No complaints. I will play this course again when back in Panama City.
