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.

Absolute terrible condition

I couldn’t believe the course was open, not a single green wasn’t torn up. Fairways were flooded with dirt and sand. Patches of random grass tiles were randomly installed everywhere on the course. Really terrible course in respect to the price!

Burnt

15 of the 18 greens are severely burnt due to over cutting and fertilizer. Hard to putt with chunks of sod and sand. It’s a great course and the layout is my personal favorite but the greens keepers need to do a better job in taken care of the course

Compared to 2 years ago, the course is much improved! It’s become my regular go to course. There are still some bald fairway patches but the groundskeeper is working on them. Several greens are also being repaired. It’ll get straight 5 Stars soon. BEWARE: there’s not a flat green… especially #4!

Overall nice course

First time out this season so I can’t really compare it to other courses. I think the course suffered some this winter. The greens are pretty rough shape. A lot of bare areas. Makes for tough reads.

Fairways are in pretty good shape by comparison.

Hope the greens improve this season. I would love to play here again with the greens in their normal nice shape.

Greens

As expected this course is still upgrading course conditions, which have been amazing. The putting Greens are quite rough looks like they have been under some type of repairs after weed invasion. I'll give this course a few weeks time before playing again giving the staff some time for growth and maintenance. I'm not knocking this course, but the greens are in rough shape. The staff at Marcus pointe have proven they can resolve this issue with time. If you played this course in February of 2023 you have seen the turn around they made. I have 100% expectations they'll bring the greens back better than ever. Can't wait to play this course again in about another month. High expectations await.

Paid 65 ea through golf now, walkups got 20% off due to poor conditions of the course.

I’ll take my chances without golf now.

What a difference a month makes

Disappointed, golfed the course a month prior but yesterday the greens were not so good, patchy, seeding didn't quite take or fungus possibly. Loved all that has been done the past few months with newer carts and GPS. Will check it out in a month to see if it's gotten better since I do enjoy golfing MP.

Great Course for a Great price

Overall this course is in great condition, and it’s in 10x better condition than it was 2 years ago. Only a couple greens on 2 and 6 with some rough patches but the rest were pretty pure. Bunkers are well maintained. Would recommend to anyone playing in P-town.
