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.

Average but difficult

Greens were below expectation

Layout was pretty good but lack of grass and water makes a potentially good course ordinary

Worth the money for Destin in Feb.

I would play this course again. Greens were fast with a lot of undulation. The fairways were just OK...I think this is normal for FL in the winter as the fairways are dormant.

Shalimar

Bunkers were in bad shape, for the winter I thought the course was okay. The layout is very good, the par 3 holes are fantastic. The greens are the courses defense as they have multiple breaks and were very quick!

Great greens

The course was in winter conditions. I heard from a friend that they put a lot of money into this course over the last couple of years i Im not sure what the fairways will be like in the summer. The greens now though were a great challenge with fast smooth turf.I had a great time and enjoyed the course.
