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.

Course was in bad shape.
Staff was nice and helpful. Course was very dry and greens and fairways were hard. An older group played behind us and they were pushing us hard. We played the 9 holes in 1:40 and they sat behind us the whole time not sure if they were even putting though. Played at Ft Walton Beach Golf Club the day after and their course was in much better shape than Shalimar.
Excellent to play
Great course conditions to play. Greens are getting faster, very true.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
Fun Course
Just minutes from Destin. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The course was fun and not overly difficult, which was nice since I am a hacker. Highly recommend if staying in the Destin area.

Disappointed
Played this course back in July, recently renovated and was a good experience but course condition already seems worse. Staff not overly friendly, had to pay $20 plus for my wife to ride (never had to pay for her in the past). Won’t be playing here again, to many other choices that are happy to have you play and allow your wife to enjoy the day with you!

Best rates for quality in the county
Nice course in good condition with improvements in work. Only downfall was the slow greens.
Fun and Challenging layout
Fun course! Got lunch at the course as well. Loved their fries.
Thanks so much for the great review, mdrangstveit. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
Just Okay
The layout is interesting and the staff was nice. Free range for warm up. But the course condition was below average. Very slow greens. Not bad for a value course but I would say that it is a little overpriced for what you get.

Great place
Everything was in great shape. However, three of the greens (3, 4, an 5) had some damage from a hydraulic leak on the greens mower. It didn't affect the putting in anyway, it was just sad to see since they have worked so hard to renovate this course. It won't keep me from coming back though.
Thanks so much for the great review, Richard6386039. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
Greatly Improved Course
I hadn’t play this course in quite a while due to the terrible conditions prior to the renovations but the course has come a long ways since. The greens were nice overall challenging and rolled really well. The tee boxes are better but still could use some work like grading them a little more flat. I shouldn’t be standing on a hill to tee off.
Food and drinks were good but would like to see cart service added for weekend play. Pro shop has a good selection but over priced at MSRP. If MAP pricing is allowed by manufacturers I would implement that to help generate more sales imo.
Overall I was satisfied with everything and will def play there again!

Fun course to play
Great course to play in the Florida Panhandle.
Was a bit breezy for the first fall front to push through the area, but delightful with the cool temperatures it brought. Everything is in great shape.

Great round
Great course for the value. Range balls are included, cart usb charger works, starter and pro shop employees are nice to speak with. Finished our round in 3 hours, had a great time!
AAforTre, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
Fun layout.
I enjoyed the layout of the course. The greens were very slow and heavily sanded so putting/chipping was basically a guessing game. Fairways and boxes were in good shape. Range balls are included with your round which makes it worth the $45 to me. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Since it’s newly renovated, I think with1-2 more seasons of growth it will be a great course.
