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.

Fooled by previous reviews

We decided to play Marcus Point based on recent reviews regarding the greens' improvement. I'm not sure where the other recent reviewers play, but we were VERY disappointed. The greens are no better than when last played in March. Spotty bare dirt areas on all greens. Laid sod in other areas. We allowed ourselves to move the ball away from the poor spots on practically every hole. The second complaint is the aggravating notifications that occur multiple times each hole on the cart's GPS system, and we couldn't silence it. We don't need 4+ reminders to order food at the turn, or paid ads popping up at tee boxes promoting a paid partnership. Lastly, we only need to be notified if a cart is in a blind shot location or show other cart locations when on the same hole. If the blind shot is clear then no need to notify. The back 9 notifications were fewer, but the front 9 notifications were aggravating and a distraction on what should be a relaxing track. To finish on a positive note, the complimentary iced wet towels were very appreciated.

Overall good but definitely had some issues

I have played this course numerous times. It's close to my house and the layout is great. Water doesn't come into play much at all and it's fairly forgiving as long as you don't hit too far to the sides that don't border another hole. There were a lot of areas under repair and the greens were in very bad shape. They tried to repair them but there were a lot of blotchy areas that definitely affected the putting.

Great layout fun course to play, still a bit of work to get the greens back from the January freeze ( 10 inches of snow). Got value for the money.

Huge turnaround

I've played this course for a long time, and during my last round about three months ago, the greens were in rough shape—almost completely dead. This time around, I'm happy to say they've made a huge turnaround. While there are still a few spots on some greens that need work, overall they've done an amazing job bringing them back. It's clear a lot of effort has gone into the restoration, and it's paying off!

Greens

This course has come back from worse than bad to way above PAR. However the greens took a beating from the 10 plus inches of snow back in January. They are in the process of repairing patching and expanding the greens. Other than the greens current condition, this course and staff are absolutely 5 STAR. Come play and enjoy Marcus pointe golf course.

Marcus Pointe is one of my favorite courses to play and from tee to green it is still awesome. They experienced some problems with the greens and over the last few month's the maintenance crew has done a fab job in bringing them back. The greens should be in great shape in a few weeks.

OTHER THAN A FEW GREENS THAT WERE STILL RECOVERING FROM THE WINTER STORM I FOUND THE COURSE TO BE A LOT OF FUN. I THOUGHT THE LAYOUT WAS GOOD WITH AN FEW GOOD RISK/REWARD HOLES THAT FORCED YOU TO REALLY WEIGHT YOUR OPTIONS.

WILL GO BACK NEXT TIME I AM IN TOWN

Course was great from tee to bunkers. But the greens?

Overall I really enjoyed the course. I played as a single with another threesome.

Course layout and difficulty was spot on. Challenging yet enjoyable with the splendor you find in Florida

Greens were in a big place. Areas with dead grass and sand due to typical effects from humid areas and constant mowing. They provided a discount at the pro shop but were misleading when they stated the greens had been punched. The discount didn’t cover the frustration of the greens.

We had to play grenade golf on the putts. Get it close and it counts. Apart from the greens, great course. The greens will heal but…
