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.

Shalimar Pointe

Slick and undulating greens… and tough to hold (which is fun/difficult)… Had tough cut pins the day I played… tee to green was ok/fine… sand in the bunkers and they were raked… great and a tough track… pleasant surprise… well worth it…

Nice not easy

Course is well maintained with an interesting layout but probably not for your average golfer. Lots of undulations in the fairways and on the greens makes it tough. Decent shots bring bad results unless you're "very" accurate. Lots of sand ,not only in bunkers but along fairways which obviously changes the roll you get on shots.

Golf Round.

The course is nice for the price but unfortunately had to stop after 12 holes. The pace of play was way too slow and there appeared to be no Course Ranger to speed things up. I would recommend to others but disappointed due to the pace.
