Marcus Pointe Golf Club
About
Marcus Pointe Golf Club tumbles across 600 acres of rolling woodlands, which is a rare occurrence in the mostly flat Panhandle area. The back nine is where golfers really begin to notice the dramatic undulations. Earl Stone, who has designed several Gulf Coast golf courses, created the layout. He has built his reputation on building playable and affordable courses. While water may not come into play often, golfers will still be kept on their toes by the numerous sand bunkers and an abundance of trees and of course, the tricky angles and elevation changes throughout. The golf course is challenging but fair with a playability that appeals to golfers of all skill levels. The greens are well manicured and keep all abilities in mind. Four sets of tees make Marcus Pointe Golf Club even more accessible.

Great course overall!
Beautiful course , great fairways , challenging hazard zones , definitely a fun course !! Greens could use a bit of work but for the time this course hss been sound its in greay shspe !
Course is in great shape. Greens are fast and true.
First Timer
Enjoyed our first time here. We were paired with another pair who made it more fun. Course was beautiful, although many of the greens were hard and fast, we will definitely be repeat customers. Course got a bit backed up but they did their best to keep us on track. Staff in the clubhouse were professional and friendly. No complaints here.
Fast greens
Some greens had issues but nothing too bad. The greens were very fast and made it more difficult for me.
Slowly Improving
The course is a work in progress. Golfed it two months ago, slight improvement on the greens. Several fairways had checker board patches which will take time to get better.
Nice but needs a little bit work
Staff was very nice. They had everyone starting on the back. Back nine was nice a few bad places on the greens but they are working on them. The front nine needs more work and it looks like they are doing it. Over all nice
Better Greens
Overall condition of this course continues to improve, considering the number of golfers that play on this course. The Greens have continued improving and I'll be looking forward to playing them later this fall.
Horrible
The greens were ALL sand i wish i knew i would have played elsewhere
Greens
Wish i would have known about the greens every single one was horrible! I would have booked elsewhere
Fooled by previous reviews
We decided to play Marcus Point based on recent reviews regarding the greens' improvement. I'm not sure where the other recent reviewers play, but we were VERY disappointed. The greens are no better than when last played in March. Spotty bare dirt areas on all greens. Laid sod in other areas. We allowed ourselves to move the ball away from the poor spots on practically every hole. The second complaint is the aggravating notifications that occur multiple times each hole on the cart's GPS system, and we couldn't silence it. We don't need 4+ reminders to order food at the turn, or paid ads popping up at tee boxes promoting a paid partnership. Lastly, we only need to be notified if a cart is in a blind shot location or show other cart locations when on the same hole. If the blind shot is clear then no need to notify. The back 9 notifications were fewer, but the front 9 notifications were aggravating and a distraction on what should be a relaxing track. To finish on a positive note, the complimentary iced wet towels were very appreciated.
Love the course but the greens were in really bad shape
Overall good but definitely had some issues
I have played this course numerous times. It's close to my house and the layout is great. Water doesn't come into play much at all and it's fairly forgiving as long as you don't hit too far to the sides that don't border another hole. There were a lot of areas under repair and the greens were in very bad shape. They tried to repair them but there were a lot of blotchy areas that definitely affected the putting.
Improvement
Great layout fun course to play, still a bit of work to get the greens back from the January freeze ( 10 inches of snow). Got value for the money.
Huge turnaround
I've played this course for a long time, and during my last round about three months ago, the greens were in rough shape—almost completely dead. This time around, I'm happy to say they've made a huge turnaround. While there are still a few spots on some greens that need work, overall they've done an amazing job bringing them back. It's clear a lot of effort has gone into the restoration, and it's paying off!
Thank you for playing with us and providing the kind review. Our maintenace staff continues to put a lot of work into reparing the greens and it really is showing.
Thank you!
