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.

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.

I have played Marcul Pointe for years. It is a nice course.

I played the course in April. Understandably, a few of the greens are in transition. The staff is very friendly and are working hard to make this the best course for the money in the Pensacola area-and I have played all of them.

" CHALLENGES' MOST " "WELCOMES ALL "

Definetely can be a challenge, but is "Player Friendly". Has a Links feel , which is the case on many holes, yet a few holes run side-by-side, with plenty of Room & Mature Trees seperating those that do. Very Scenic, with rolling fairways, and "Greens" to match, which are bunkered Nicely, with "near perfect" sand that is not too Course nor Powdery. The well guarded Greens, make approach shots , maybe the Best Challenge here. A Nice Course Layout, with nice length from the "Tips", a Friendly Staff, and well maintained, makes for a Great Day, and a Good Value.

The course has great features.

I really enjoy this course, it is challenging, while I'm enjoying the scenery around me. By this I mean the beautiful green of the lawns and trees, flowers and bushes.

Course is in fantastic shape, with "carpet like" farways and very good greens

Marcus Point has fantastic farways with very few bare spots. Incredible since it's winter. The winter rye top seeding has really worked. The greens are in good shape, though there were a few areas that were bare in some of the higher trafficed areas.

As a side note, the restaurant, called "Iron" has great food and a pretty good wine selection.

All in all a very good facility

This course required well placed shots off the Tee Box!

Challenging course and experience. Requires well placed shots off the tee box for straight forward approach shots to the green due to fairway shape and tree lines. Greens rolled true but fast and exacting. Burned the edges adding a number of strokes through the round. Course was well maintained from the tee box to the greens. Overall great time!

Fair course with good mix of holes to make it interesting for all

Very friendly staff, excellent layout and in excellent condition. We took a little longer to complete a round only due to weather conditions. We encountered rain showers that required us to seek shelter a couple of times during the round,however it did not have an adverse effect on the playability on the course. There was no standing water and the greens were excellent throughout the round.
