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.

Might be my new favorite course in Pensacola

I golfed here with a friend and we both agreed this is our new favorite course. Other than the greens being in need of updating we couldn't ask for a better day weatherwise and the course was very pretty and well laid out. Would like to see more yardage markers but at least they had 150 and 200 poles. The layout of the course was very nice. I would definitely play here again.

terrible greens

These are the worst greens I've ever played and this course used to have really nice greens. Don't know what happened but people should be made aware of how bad the greens are when booking and I hope the can do something to recover. Money should be refunded

COURSE REALLY SAD

Have golfed this course many times in the past. Played about 2 months ago and the course was in poor condition....Played again today and the condition was even worse. Greens are not puttable and fairways are a mess. Hope they can get it fixed. It's a nice layout.

Terrible Greens

There is no polite way to state this - the greens are TERRIBLE!! I haven't seen greens at Marcus this bad in at least six years and haven't seen any other area courses in this poor of shape in at least the past four years. The practice green is about 60% dirt and it doesn't get any better on the course. Most greens are 60-80% dirt; some pin placements were on the only 10-15ft diameter circle of grass on the entire green. And there is no rate discount for the poor condition either. I highly recommend staying away until at least May to give the greens an opportunity to fill in.

Rough shape

Course has yet to come out of winter. Greens are rough and erratic. Things will improve with rain.

Poor Condition

This course used to be my favorite place to play in Pensacola, but no more. It has gone down hill to the point that playing there is a waste of money. The layout is still my favorite, but the condition is terrible. Very little if any fairway grass. The greens have bare spots and where there is grass they are unputtable. It is sad to see what has happened to this course. There are better options in Pensacola

Nice layout

I’ve played this course for 20 years. It’s usually one of my go to courses when I visit my mom, who lives here. I know this time of year the grass is dormant. It just seemed like there wasn’t a lot of grass in the fairways. Greens were not in very good shape. One of the greens had large patches of dead grass. I’ll try it again next year, as it’s a good layout, one of my favorites. I’ll head to some of the other courses in the area the rest of my time here.
