Pros:
The atmosphere of the Blue Angel complex is incredible. In the Deep South, if its not church [soul guilt] or work [money guilt] its gonna be a good time. From the giant disc basket identifying the entrance to close, ample parking to the beer cart wench, you feel almost feted here. In that sense, all 3 of these courses are as one.
The Oaks is less of a "goofy golf" course than the Palmettos. No covered bridge, crab shack, shower, Dutch bell, or unconnectedly bizarre art pieces---something which will probably be corrected over time.
The holes are longer though less obvious, and there's only a few of the obscene, short 90°+ left-or-right turns that festoon the Palmettos.
A lot of the vegetation is unyielding: if you get off-fairway, you'll have to use whatever shots you can pull off. And I don't mean just BH and FH. If you've got a dead straight/guaranteed-turn roller, you'll succeed here. I had to use tommys, skips, slides and spikes, or a combo of them, when I could, and vertical/overhand putts when it was all I had. Only 2 holes, #s 13-14, are in the open. Break out the Katana! #13 has a big, fat RHBH hyzer that goes out over an enclosed RV parking lot, but a pedestrian gate is usually unlocked right where you might need it, if you goober your drive.
A lot of the time you're under the canopy, so sunburn isn't too much of a concern. Its a very prototypical Southern coastal forest, with hanging moss and sandy soil. You're not likely to lose any discs here, unless they're unreachable in a tree, although white discs can be difficult to spot right in front of you on the flat sandy washes.
Seats and trashcans everywhere, very clean, 1 mile from any traffic whatsoever.
And on busy summer weekends, the beer comes to you. Ohhh yeah.
Cons:
If you've never played around oaks, you're in for a serious learning curve. Even the wimpiest 1/8" twig can fling your disc in any direction away from the basket. Trunks and branches twist and bend, obscuring most lanes of travel except the ordained one. The thick leaves group in bunches, and can trap and hide a disc. Expect to hear lots of cursing.
Palmettos have a 1'to 3'-long triangular stem, two edges of which are relatively sharp---or sometimes, to your utter chagrin, serrated. Not so bad on discs, wicked on bare legs. Thankfully they only comprise about 30% of the landscape.
But that's about the worst of it, except for the warm/hot-season humidity and bugs, sudden thunderstorms and poisonous snakes. Heh heh.
Other Thoughts:
Marina has snacks, drinks, discs. Its a recreation facility for the USAF, so I'm sure there must be family amenities [playground, ballfield] somewhere. Pensacola is just a few miles east, with various stores along the main route 98.
