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.

MP is Coming Back

We have played this course many times over the years on our trips to Florida. Going back 6-8 years, it was one of the best values in the Pensacola area. However, it had fallen into disrepair in the past couple of years and was in danger of closing. New management now has the course back on track. Always a nice layout, the fairways on this winter round were consistent, with no weeds or large bare spots and the greens were smooth, although running medium-slow. It is easy to see that continued attention by the staff will have the course in great shape in the spring and summer.
Anyone who has been avoiding MP as we had, due to past conditioning problems, should give it another try. We are glad we did and will be going back.

Still need alot of work

Played this course before the change over for new management and they done a good job in trying to bring this course back but the course is still in real bad shape. Thought the greens were very slow and a lot of them has bare spots. A lot of fire ants are all over the course so you have to be very careful on were you walk. Might have to wait another year before I play this one again.

Tough, beautiful course but don't get off the fairway!

This is a beautiful course and some tricky tight fairways which brings me to my only complaint. There are many Hills on this course that obscure where your ball comes down. There is NO second cut on the fairway. It goes from short fairway to 5-6 inch tall grass immediately and if you don't know exactly where your ball came down, you won't find it unless you're directly on top of it. Granted I'm a high handicapper but come on, I almost lost several balls that were just off the fairway and DID lose a couple that went further awry. Nice friendly employees though and the snack bar food was quite good.

Seems to be in an adjustment period

We have been coming to Pensacola for about 28 years and play Marcus multiple times each visit. A little disappointed this time. The greens we in serious need of mowing. There was a first tee tournament going on that we were not told about, so we came to a screeching halt. The did offer a rain check, though. I think they have had a change in ownership and are in transition. The rental fleet needs to be replaced, and they need to up the work on the course. All requires a bunch of money.

Needs improvement

The layout is good, but the conditions are poor. There isn't a blade of real grass on the whole course; everything seems to be a mixture of crab grass and weeds. Some holes I literally couldn't tell where the fairway ended and the rough began. The rough is, well, rough. Be prepared to spend 5 minutes searching for every ball you don't hit in the fairway; they're really tough to find in that mess. Seems like they're working to improve things, but it's not there yet. If you can get in for under $25, it's worth a play.

Stonebrook managing

The layout is fun. Course conditions were lacking due to drought and upkeep. I'm sure it is improving and yes we'll play again. Probably a fall and spring course as weather on the hilly terrain affects upkeep...... Go play and carry lots of water as it's hot and dry out there!

Great course with just a little TLC

Wonderful layout. The only negative was the greens, but they seem to be on the comeback. Will play again when I am in town.
