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.

course is challenging but fair for play

An excellent course, well kept and challenging.
As long as you could keep ball in the fairway you have
a great chance to reach green in regulation.

Very fun . Enjoy your day outside

This course in the past couple years replaced all greens , replaced sod in areas on the fairways ,ruff . Removed a lot of trees to add wind as a defense to get to the greens . Pay attention to higher prevailing winds. Distance to greens can be deceiving , challenging on many holes with down hill and uphill shots .
This course is a great place to take some friends or clients and have a fun time ! Great food also.

Good layout

Really disappointed with the greens as they had just sanded them and made putting almost impossible. We had played this course 2 weeks earlier and the greens were in a terrible state. I cannot believe that the greens keepers would have let them get so bad. Aside from this the course was fairly well kept. The cart paths are in need of attention in some places and similarly where you go off the path to the fairway in some places is bad. The restroom at the bridge around half way really needs upgrading and a clean now and then wouldn't go amiss.

Great Deal, Decent Course, Needs Better Upkeep

Played this course with two friends one afternoon. Was able to book a Hot Deal for $12 per person so the value was wonderful. On a few holes the fairway had a few muddy patches and some of the greens were in poor shape with poor cuts and seed/divot mixture spread in large areas. One lie from the edge of the green required me to chip over the mixture instead of putting which was annoying. Every tee box except for one was good, but one was extremely muddy and poorly kept. However, we had only paid 12 each and the atmosphere was very casual. Not a bad course by any means, just needs some more upkeep. If I had paid the full rate of $35+ I would have been more upset.

The greens are worse than shag carpet from the 70's.

Please don't waste your money on this course. I can't understand why they are having such a difficult time with their greens. It's toatlly baffling to say the least!

Good course.....needs a Ranger!

Course was in good shape. Greens were VERY long - but I'm sure that's from the 15" of rain we've had down here in the last couple of weeks. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Only complaint is a big one - WHY would any course ever let a six-some play? We breezed through the front nine in 1:20. Back 9 took right at 2:45. We sat the whole time behind a 6-some that refused to let us through. No golf ranger anywhere on the course and no drink cart to take the pain of waiting away! At a decent course, I consider this to be an unacceptable occurrence. Will still go back, but will probably just leave if they let 6 people play together again.

Don't be fooled

First time on this course and I had read some of the previous reviews regarding greens' condition. Had been a few months since the last review so I called to check the condition. They admitted that a "few greens" still had issues but most were in good condition. Not sure what good condition means in Pensacola but not true in my book. Probably 15 of 18 greens had significant dead spots where there was no grass at all. Pins were generally in a "good area" of the green but if you were more than 20 feet from the pin you were putting through dead spots. Where there was grass in the greens it was shaggy making all putts miserably slow. The rest of the course was in good shape and the layout was pretty good. Houses line many holes but generally aren't too close. Pace of play was extremely good with an early tee time we finished in just over 3 hours.

This course has great features.

Course in great shape except for greens. 4 or 5 of the greens need severe help. Still, it's the best course I have played on in a while.

Course in Nice Shape but not Greens

All in all the round I played on 5/27/13 was a good experience. The course was in good condition but unfortunately it looked as though they had lost their greens. They were in very bad shape. We were told they were being aerated and they offered a discount, but it looked otherwise.

Course has charm

The back nine was closed due to repair. Airfing the greens. played front twice. Great character to the course. Greens were bumpy but playable. Rye grass is burning out to make room for the bremuda. Will be nice in 3-4 weeks. They lowered to cost by 25% were bery nice and I will come back in June

Nice layout. but the brand new greens are god awful !

Played this course often since it's opening many years ago. The one thing that was a constant complaint was the maintaining of the old bermuda greens. Was really excited when it was closed last summer to put in new greens. Have now played it about 4 times since then and they have continually gotten worse. I would suggest a soil sample being sent to U of F. Putting on sand greens back in the 20's couldn't have been worse. Very disappointed and won't return until I read or hear something about its improvement.

Decent with discounted golf, but unimpressive after remodel

This course closed down in summer of 2012 to remodel. We played right before it closed and though the greens were in rough shape, it was a pleasant experience. We were excited to return this year and saw they had reopened boasting of new greens, tee boxes, better fairways, etc on their website.

The club house had been moved to a temporary location since apparently it still is being remodeled. Poor signage finding it. Then the staff just wasn't that friendly. One guy was super rude.

The course itself seems to suffer from lack of irrigation. The fairways were smooth and fast. The greens were disappointing. It appears they think that using green-colored sand in smashed down in large quantities is a good alternative to grass. Fast greens but mainly because the surface is hardened.

And to top it off, we had to wait to play due to a couple slow groupings. Wish the starter helped facilitate play better.

Don't go in expecting a pristine golfing experience.

For being spring and a fresh remodel, I had higher expectations.

Next year we will try a different course.

The course has a great lay out and fun to play

The course is great once the get the tee boxes and green back. A lot of the tee boxes have sand covering them, because they grass has died and they are trying to get them back. The greens are almost back, there are a some that have patch repairs and sand covering them making it hard to putt. The fairways, rough, and sand traps are in great shape.
