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.

Enjoyed course

The golf course was in very good condition. With several different choice of tees you can make it as difficult as you like. The greens were a bit slow but pretty true. The only thing I did not enjoy about the round was pace of play. I arrived early and was allowed to start. After three holes, I encountered 3 groups of 5 players that I was allowed to play thru so I went around. There wasn't a starter or a marshall and one group was upset I went around. Really 3 fivesomes.

Marcus

Greens are in excellent shape and course condition is overall quite good. A couple fairways are thin, making for some tough lies.

Important info

Everything good. Would be nice to know when a course has closed the front or back nine for work or repairs. Playing the back nine twice was not ideal especially at full price. Probably would have played elsewhere if we had known.

Great Value

I played here the other day - it was very convenient, rented clubs, played as a single and they were great in getting me off quickly.

Course itself was fine - nothing really special or of note, but all in all it was an enjoyable round. Very little water on the course, a lot of room off of the tee.

I would play again, but not go out of my way for it.

Awesome Experience

We played Marcus Point 5 years ago and don't remember an experience like this. From the moment we walked into the pro shop the entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The course itself was very challenging and beautiful. The cart girl Shei was awesome as well. My daughter and I will most definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful 2 days of golf.

While the course is not yet up to the level it used to be, management is doing a good job of getting it there. We enjoyed our round of golf

Fair Average Course

Some holes are a challenge because they are well guarded by bunkers. If you can hit the greens with your irons, make them short because most holes a uphill and the downhill puts can be a bugger!

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.
