Rating 72.1

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.

BEST GOLF EXPERIENCE EVER

Booked through golf now and was the 4th golfer to book the same tee time. I got there early so I could warm up on he driving range and it was a perfect driving range. They gave you balls you could actually play with and not worn out ones that are just dead ducks. Then I went over to the putting greens got to practice a little bit and it was exactly like the greens throughout the course. The greens are very hard to read especially around the hole. The ball would always roll in a different way then expected. If they changed the position of the hole more often this wouldn't be a problem. I got to play with 3 other guys who had never played there before and they loved it as well. This was an amazing experience and will be looking for another HOT DEAL!!! Thank you again to the amazing golfers I played with, you guys helped me out more than you can ever imagine!

Sincerely,

Taylor Jaffe

Nice course, helpful staff. Enjoyed the layout a lot however the fairways were a bit rough and still heavily covered in dead leaves which made finding fairway shots challenging.

Add water for a great course!!!

Great layout and difficult greens. Fairways need water but the greens were rolling true, albeit with one or two patches of weeds.

Would play this course tomorrow were I staying in town and will come back in late spring.

Staff were superb. Starter was on duty and helpfully got us through a slow starting group.

Club was hosting a demo day.

Cart girl was pretty and efficient. Came round numerous times.

Good value, fine course. Many tight holes make for interesting round. Don't need perfect shots, but do need to be on your game.

THE DUFFER

I'm a high handicap golfer, but I love playing. This course is well maintained. The greens were in great shape. I played with two of my cousins and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was excellent! We had lunch at the restaurant and the food was very good. Everyone was extremely friendly. We will play here again...

Marcus Pointe in Good Shape Right Now

Marcus Pointe is in very good shape right now. That includes the greens. Although a little slower than I prefer, the ball rolls true. I play this course 6-7 times per year and have seen it in both good/bad conditions. Right now it is definitely worth playing!

Played on a cold windy January day so......

Played this course in January so I didn't expect perfect fairways but I had played other Pensacola area courses and their fairways where in much better condition. The greens where also not the best. But I did like the layout, short from the red tees but you had to have accurate shots to stay out of trouble. I will play this course again to give it another try.

Good Off-Season Conditions on a Nice Course

Considering that it's January and they had sub-freezing temps the previous weekend, course was in pretty nice shape. Lots of mounding and some rolling terrain made it more interesting than the usual Florida layout. Greens were reasonably good. Watch the trees-I did it close up on the back. Played with Adam from the pro shop and he and Ben, the pro, were very welcoming. I had a great time.

Challenging

Challenging course for intermediate player. Tight fairways with well sloped greens. Straight drives and a gentle touch a must. It was fun to play.

Got a great price on golf now.

The course is chalanging

We played 18 holes and the course was in great shape except for some of the white and red tee boxes, they were pretty beat up. The pin placements were very challenging and the greens were faster than some of the other courses I've played in the area , which is a plus plus in my book. Look forward to playing it again soon and booking my tee time on GolfNow. Great price for the round.

GREAT COURSE... GREAT CONDITION...

Great layout and under new management. They spend money on maintaining course and it shows. Nice tree lined course. Not too hard and not too easy. Greens are fast and in good condition. Played it about 10 times with my buddies. A nice gem in Pensacola..........

Very good overall experience

Course was in very good shape. Sand was consistent and well placed. Course had a little to much in the way of grass clippings left but could have been result of recent period of rain. Not much in the way of water on the course.

Another typical Pensacola/Florida Course

I have played Marcus Pointe many times in the past, and in general its overall condition is improving. However, the day I played-and I note it was the same day they were holding a tournament-I found the fairways and greens overgrown and soft. Far too like many of the courses in this part of Florida, the fairway was like hitting out of the second cut of rough on some courses and the greens were extremely slow. Not only were the fairways overgrown, but they were extremely soft underneath the grass making it almost impossible to compress the ball against the turf, affecting the quality of iron shots and preventing drives from rolling out more than a couple of feet from where they land. The course has a fun layout with a lot of potential, and they are making progress in its condition, but for right now, the $17 that I paid to play was a more than fair price.
