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.

If we had known…
Got there an hour before teetime and found the putting green had been punched and sanded. No warning from GN about this when I booked the round. Spoke to mgmt and they swore they had given the dates to GN. Even the fairways had been punched, making it very rough. Had we known, we would have gone elsewhere. Certainly not worth
$46! Not even sure it was worth $30! Will be a few weeks before we go back. Greens will be an issue for quite some time.
Disappointed
Payed 87.00 dollars and was not that all there Greens were HORRIBLE!
Average at best
The course had a great layout, but the greens were in very bad shape. Would play it agin if the greens were in better shape.
Well worth it
Buddy and I played the course for the first time in several years. Was beautiful and a great layout and much improved from what I remember. Some course repairs were still in progress but not in areas I should’ve been in to begin with so can’t fault that. Greens weren’t perfect but neither am I. Staff was great with every interaction we had. There’s a reason the place was packed when we played. Great local course and look forward to playing again.
Absolute terrible condition
I couldn’t believe the course was open, not a single green wasn’t torn up. Fairways were flooded with dirt and sand. Patches of random grass tiles were randomly installed everywhere on the course. Really terrible course in respect to the price!
Burnt
15 of the 18 greens are severely burnt due to over cutting and fertilizer. Hard to putt with chunks of sod and sand. It’s a great course and the layout is my personal favorite but the greens keepers need to do a better job in taken care of the course
Compared to 2 years ago, the course is much improved! It’s become my regular go to course. There are still some bald fairway patches but the groundskeeper is working on them. Several greens are also being repaired. It’ll get straight 5 Stars soon. BEWARE: there’s not a flat green… especially #4!
Greens need work
Greens need work which was acknowledged by the pro shop providing a discount on the greens fee.
Love the layout and friendly staff
The staff is so friendly, especially the cart lady! Very friendly!
Overall nice course
First time out this season so I can’t really compare it to other courses. I think the course suffered some this winter. The greens are pretty rough shape. A lot of bare areas. Makes for tough reads.
Fairways are in pretty good shape by comparison.
Hope the greens improve this season. I would love to play here again with the greens in their normal nice shape.
Fun layout
Course in decent shape. A few of the greens are dying off pretty typical for courses in our area
Florida golf
Marcus Point is a great golf course and always in great shape. the greens suffered a bit from the cold weather but the staff is addressing the problem
Condition
The greens were half dirt, some green/bent grass. Fairways brown and hard
Great course
Love this course! Fairways very nice. A number of the green are showing signs of distress but the course management appears to be addressing that.
Greens
As expected this course is still upgrading course conditions, which have been amazing. The putting Greens are quite rough looks like they have been under some type of repairs after weed invasion. I'll give this course a few weeks time before playing again giving the staff some time for growth and maintenance. I'm not knocking this course, but the greens are in rough shape. The staff at Marcus pointe have proven they can resolve this issue with time. If you played this course in February of 2023 you have seen the turn around they made. I have 100% expectations they'll bring the greens back better than ever. Can't wait to play this course again in about another month. High expectations await.
Course was in terrible. Greens are in the worst shape Ive ever seen.
