Played the Oaks Course recently and overall had a solid round. The layout is enjoyable with a nice mix of holes and offers a fair challenge without being overly punishing. The greens were in good shape and rolled well. The fairways were quite dry and mostly brown—slightly better than other courses in the area, but still clearly winter conditions. That seems to be normal for this region this time of year, so it’s more of a visual issue than a playability problem. Pace of play was a little slow during our round, which took away slightly from the overall experience. Staff at check-in was friendly and everything was well organized. Overall, a solid public course around Fort Walton Beach and worth playing if you’re in the area.

I’ve never played golf while vacationing to Florida, but I’m so glad we started! This course is beautiful and I had a great time playing it with family. We will be back! Very friendly staff, good food, awesome course.

After closing The Pines for 6-12 months to resprig the greens, we were pleasantly surprised to see the fairways narrowed, mounds in the fairways, and even bunkers in a couple of fairways which definitely made it more interesting. And the greens were beautiful! Never mind the improvements to their range with probably 30 Trackmans.
