Shalimar Pointe Golf Club
About
Located along the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, Shalimar Pointe Golf Club enjoys a scenic, rolling landscape dotted with trees. This often-overlooked golf course has been considered one of the Emerald Coast's best-kept secrets but the word is beginning to get out. The course, due to its challenging but playable nature, has been used for U.S. Open qualifiers and it was host to the Emerald Coast Tour. The layout features immaculately manicured greens that are framed by strategic bunkering and water hazards on a number of holes. The golf course is challenging but fair with five sets of tees to accommodate players of all skill levels. The course is Shalimar Pointe's main attraction but it is complemented by extensive practice facilities including an expansive driving range, putting green and chipping green.

Enjoyable round
Good value for the money. Fairways are not perfect, but in pretty good condition. Greens are in very good shape. Pace was very good - less than four hours. Very friendly staff. Will play here again.
Pace of play
Started early on front nine and whizzed through 9 holes in 1.5 hours. Then hit the back nine and starter had sent off several groups on 10 and pace went to stand still. Would play again.
Shalimar is on Pointe
Great deal for Shalimar Pointe GC. I love playing here and the golfers and staff are very friendly.
Nice Round of Golf
Enjoyed our day of golf. Good movement on the course with no waiting. Greens very solid shape.
Great
Money well spent
For what it cost we had a great time. The staff was very friendly.me a my son enjoyed it very much
Horrible Greens
Slow and weedy greens good luck getting a putt to not jump around. Plan to add 2 strokes a hole for the greens.
Shalimar Golf
Slightly better conditions than last week. No heavy rough, can still use a putter
FL Panhandle golf
The course is transitioning from the winter to spring.
There were a few bumps while putting but manageable and fast and firm. Overall not too bad. I was able to save some 1 putt pars in the 8 to 15 foot range.
Reasonable but course not great.
The staff members were friendly, the clubhouse was clean and nice but the course wasn’t in the best shape. We felt like the pin placements were poor. We had to wait on every hole. At least it was less expensive than others in the area.
Nice welcome at the pro shop
Nice layout
Nice play to play
I recommend this course
Wow
Il be back
Thanks all of the Staff
The course did not have a marshall and it took us 5 hours to play 18. The course was not in great condition and definitely not worth the price fit the course.
Great course and a great price
I really enjoyed this course. Lots of fun, not too difficult. Staff was awesome. Booked on GolfNow and for the price to ride, get range time it was awesome. Definitely coming back.
4star with potential for 5
First of all…don’t expect 5 star amenities there was no one working the bag drop, which is fine with me. Pro Shop staff was good… you get a cart key from them and get ready to go. Carts are gas, not my favorite.. back breakers!!
No starter, the person my wife and I were pared with by the Pro Shop ignored us and went off alone…. Our gain, what a jerk!!
No GPS on carts, so grab an extra card and bring your reading glasses to follow the map on the scorecard to see the layout.. or use your own GPS app.
The layout was fun, unfortunately they has just overseeded, and many of the tees were closed, and the maintenance crews that set the temporary tee locations must not be golfers because they were not level, not mowed, and hadn’t been moved for several days… we improvised!!
Give the placed another week or so of sun and a good mowing and it’s going to be so much better!! I would definitely play Shalimar again.
Notes to Shalimar Management…1: Get electric carts the next time you replace your rental fleet. 2: When you overseed, and have temporary tees (all tee markers on the same location in the unlevel rough) give a discount!!
3: Including range balls for free is a plus, however the ten year old balls mixed in with the newer balls, just pitch them in the trash!!
