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.

Tee box on 9 Photo submitted by RG89C2924FBA8C86743 on 08/10/2019
Everyone was nice
Even the players on the course that were members thanked us for our business. This is not the muni. The lay out is challenging and the greens are swift with false fronts or sides. Only negative was a few of the tee boxes were tough to get a tee in the ground; but nothing to stew about. Adding this course in my rotation for sure!
relaxing
nobody breathing down our neck. Wonderful!
(pace of play)
Fantastic layout
I played this course for the first time today. And while I may not have played well, I throughly enjoyed the layout. Fairways were better than fine. Greens were slow, but they were pretty undulated too. We played in a little over 3 hours with 3 ladies in front of us. I would highly recommend this course, to anyone. And there's an Air Force museum 5 minutes away when you're done. Great local neighborhood course. 5 stars. Job well done.
While improvements have been made, this still essentially remains the same course.
I don't get why the price has nearly tripled since the so-called " improvements" were made. For the last 10 or more years SP has been my go to course. But I along with several of my golf buddies have been priced out. Oh well, I guess it's supposed to be a rich man's game anyway.. good luck
Shalimar Pointe
We thought the course was in good shape considering all the rain they have had. We could only play the back nine both days we played. Staff was friendly. We thought it was a good value.
Had a great time
Got there 45 minutes early to get settled in and hit a few balls on the range and was promptly met by a man with the key to my cart before I got to the clubhouse. He notified me of everything about the course and when I could tee off, where to find my range balls waiting for me, and what side of the course we would be starting on. The course looked great. Grass looked great. Rough was very rough and challenging. Sand bunkers everywhere made it challenging but not too bad. The landing zone for your tee shots is what made it the most challenging in my opinion. It’s very narrow at most LZ’s. The greens speeds were a little inconsistent but were in good shape. Great pace of play. Never had to stop and wait on anyone and nobody was pushing my group. After the round, someone will clean your clubs and the food in the clubhouse is very good. Cart girls didn’t get started til after I finished my round around 1030 so I can’t comment on them. 10/10 though, would definitely and am definitely gonna play again when I return to ft Walton area for our annual trip.
Tees need work
Greens good but bumpy
Fairways better than many around
Nice layout. A little pricey for conditions
Tough Course
Enjoyed this challenging course. Greens were tough due to undulations. Lots of houses line the course. Staff was awesome!
Great Course
Great improvements to course. Greens are great. Staff in the pro shop and bar are awesome!
Great course!
This was my first time playing this course and I was very impressed. The Assistant Pro, I don’t recall his name, was so kind to me and my son who was out for his first visit to a golf course.
I played from the White(middle) tees and appreciated the challenge. Some short, even possibly reachable par 4s have well placed bunkers and other troubles that make playing a safe shot off the tee probably a better choice to eliminate big numbers. Some more descriptive tee signs or scorecards would probably have been more helpful, especially to a first timer at the course like myself. I did not know accurate yardages to certain landing spots or trouble areas like water or sand. This forced me to play safe with an iron off the tee to the 150 marker for example.
The course is not in optimal shape, some rough greens, etc but the layout and hole designs are excellent! I am definitely looking forward to visiting this course again!
First time playing the course. Had a great time and staff is outstanding. Fairways and greens were in solid shape. The rough was really rough though but you not trying to play there. All and all I would recommend this for anyone especially at the price.
A Hidden Gem
The greens are excellent for being a year old. The new tiff eagle grass is so nice to putt on. The fairways are plush and green. The renovations have just made this course so much better. It was worth the wait!
Great round with Sons & grandson
Course was in great condition. Fairways and greens very playable. Friendly and helpful staff. Great rate on GolfNow.
