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.

Disappointing

I’d played solo in the afternoon. Disappointing considering the long time and large amt of money used to upgrade the course. Far too many patches and sand in the fairways and greens are embarrassing. Do something soon GM or you’ll start losing members!

Should be good in a couple weeks

The course is still recovering from winter. I would expect in a couple weeks it will be much nicer, buts it's playable for sure. My only complaint is that the houses around the course are in dangerous spots. Any stray tee shots have a good chance of finding a house.

Downhill

Played it a couple weeks ago and the greens were rolling very good! Not much grass on fairways. Todayfairways same but the greens were very bad!looks like they are losing them. Very slow compared to last time, bare spots and a great deal of mold. As an aside we played behind a foursome & fivesoe . 5 hour round is unacceptable

Over priced for course condition

The course has a nice layout but the greens left much to desired with several bare spots on the greens.

The fairways very dormant with little to no grass in most areas

Not in the best shape.

The course is showing its age and a number of greens were damaged. It needs some TLC to be worth what the charge for green fees.

First Time

Was expecting a little more for my $ than what I got. Had to pay an extra $20 for my wife to ride along on top of the $60 plus to play. Layout was good conditions weren’t. The fairways were so thin it was like hitting Lou of a hard sand trap. The greens were very thin with no grass in some areas, one hole was set right in a mud hole.
