Par 3 Course at Island Golf Tee Times

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.

What a transformation! It's clear that the staff at Fort Walton Beach Golf Club have been working hard on improvements. The greens on the Pines course are in excellent shape, and the fairways are perfectly maintained. The attention to detail really shows and makes for a pristine playing experience. Combine that with the Pines new layout and the warm, welcoming staff, and you have one of the best courses in the area. Great job, FWBGC!"

Jacob and staff, to Include Cooper Holbrook, and Doug Cavaretta, have done an outstanding job in turning a municipal golf course into a state-of-the-art facility. From the improvement of the Pines Golf course to the introduction of our new logo and pro shop attire, the membership is feeling a great sense of pride. The newly installed TRACMAN monitors provide immediate fun and feedback to your game. There are some negative "keyboard" warriors on here trying to smear the progress made and management style, which couldn't be farther from the truth. We are fortunate to have 36 holes of Championship level golf in our community. Dollar for Dollar it is the best venue in town. My advice is, come see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.
