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.

Good course. Little overpriced for the conditions

Nice layout, but conditions are not up to the dollar amount it costs for a tee time unless you get a deal.

Florida Fall Golf

The cooler temps are settling in. It still will get into the low to mid 80's, but the humidity is below 50% making it a more comfortable time playing golf. The greens are perfect and fast. The fairways are perfect and plush. But the rough is thick, so keep the drives in the fairway.

Fun, challenging layout!

Fun track and in very good condition as long as you stay in the fairway and avoid the outlying rough areas! If you can keep it below the pin On the greens, otherwise you’ll probably end up three putting! Bunkers are in good shape and the driving range is included, which is nice. Definitely worth the money.

Fall on the Gulf

Excellent condition. Greens are putting quite fast in the last 2 weeks. Fairways are green and plush, but stay out of the rough, you may lose a ball, like I did on hole 2. LOL

Bring your A game!

Excellent layout, greens are a little difficult to read, but roll well, bunkers are Primo. Stay out of the Rough!!! If you have a solid game, you will do well, but the course will beat you! When you play it, you’ll know what I mean. Love it!🏌🏻‍♂️

Fun course! One of my favorites is the area.

I really enjoy the course. Thick rough, plenty of water and hazards. The course is well designed and fun to play. Even though the greens and fairways could be a little better they are never in bad condition.

Enjoyed the course. Teed off at 8:00 an , had no one in front of me, played in 3 hours. Greens were in good shape. BUT stay in the fairway, if you go off the ball will disappear.

Good deal for the $

For the price the course is just fine. Just be careful if you miss the fairway, balls disappear in the rough.

Warm in Florida

The weather is still hot but may be cooling down slightly after this next hurricane moves by. Greens were much faster than the previous week. The fairways are beautiful, except for the rough, its thick and hard to find your ball.

I first played Shalimar about 15 years ago. It was a nice course then. I believe you have made it a much better course than it was then.

Early Fall

With the recent rains in the past week, the course is shaping up. The greens were putting slightly slower than normal. The rough is thick in areas, it's easy to lose your ball or takes a few minutes to find your ball. All in all, its in excellent condition.

Just ok

Some holes had a nice layout, but...

Fairways...so so

Roughs... pretty bad. Some look like they haven't been cut for 2 months.

Greens... Needed to be cut and rolled. Plus, a number of bad spots
