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.

Course improving under new ownership

Great track in middle of Pensacola. Some tee boxes need tlc but was pleasantly surprised with condition of fairways & greens. Pace of play was great, staff is friendly and food & bets are reasonable. Will definitely return soon.

great layout, fairways suffering, should play there anyway.

i played here a couple of yrs ago and the fairways were much better. played in mid to late february that time. the course has changed ownership. same people who own stonebrook golf course. one of the locals told me that the previous owner quit watering the fairways before selling the course. the greens were iin great shape. this course has an excellent layout , similar to scenic hills country club. check golfnow.com for good green fees. i played for $18 with cart on a hot deal in early afternoon, easily finished all 18 holes before dark. staff is very friendly. i would expect the fairways to improve this growing season.

Day at the pointe

Our round would have been much more enjoyable but 2 groups of 5 golfers were two groups ahead of us. This should never happen when the course if busy. The course was in good shape for this time of year.

Not being able to see the pin on most holes from the tee boxes make the score sheet very helpful. Very fun the first time.

Pretty but no fairway grass

Expect dry fairways this time of year but these fairways were more bare dirt than dry grass. Not sure if grass fills in other times of year.

THE COURSE NEEDS WORK.

4-5 HOLES HAD NO GRASS ON THE FAIRWAYS, I THINK DUE TO FLOODING THEY HAD LAST YEAR. A COUPLE OF PIN LOCATIONS WERE IMPOSSIBLE,IF THE BALL DID NOT GO IN THE HOLE IT WOULD COLLECT @ 15' BELOW THE HOLE. THE BACK WAS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE FRONT AND FUN. FOR THE MONEY ($27) IT WAS OK. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL HVE A GOOD YEAR AND GET THE COURSE BACK IN GOOD SHAPE AND WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING IT NEXT YEAR.

Marcus Pointe, 2014

The course is in the best shape it has been in years. The greens have recovered outstandingly and are playing fast and true. The multiple tees allow players of all skill levels to have a fine time. Nearby Iron is a fine restaurant with a players' lounge adjacent.Unfortunately, the course has been losing money for some years now and is scheduled to close on 12/31/14. I hope it is sold to someone who can manage it well.

Poor course

It has been about 6 months since I played it last. I could not believe how bad this course has turned out. The greens were the worst that I have ever played on, there was hardly any grass on them at all. The tee boxes had no grass at all on them. The bunkers had no sand in them and was hard as concrete. You would have to pay me to play this course again and then I probably would not play it.

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.

Course was in good shape. Staff very friendly. Excellent range, 4 dollars for bucket of balls. Greens a little slow, but overall great value for the price.

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!
