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.

Undergoing updates to coures
We were told the course would be closing starting in April for 4 months to install new water management system. This is needed as the course was very dry and not much grass in some locations. The course would be a great course once these changes are made and the grass has time to grow back.
Shalimar golf
I was surprisingly impressed with this golf course, and the obvious work the maintenance folks are doing to improve the course conditions. This is a hidden gem it the area. We recently renounced our membership at Bay Point in PCB because of poor course conditions and sub par club management. So it was refreshing to see the maintenance ongoing at Shalimar. There were a few greens that were spotty, but overall very palatable and fair. The fairways were also spotty in places, but again very playable. The carts were old, but got us around fine. Check out this great track, you won't be disappointed.
Significant improvements noted
My brother and I were here around 2 months ago for a practice session and were favorably impressed. You could tell they were working hard on getting the course in better condition but it had seen hard times. We played a round of 18 yesterday and it was an absolute blast! You could definitely see the improvements made, especially on the greens. They were easy to read and the pace was consistent on every hole.
Congratulations to a hard working maintenance staff that is going to yield benefits for years to come!
Cannot wait for the fairways to green up a bit more and this place will be on our regular rotation!
Be prepared for a tough challenge with lots of bunkering and forced carries but you will be rewarded with sharp iron play!
I'd recommend one tee Box forward for your 1st outing here. We are around a 15 handicap and played from the green tee box and shot 89 and 94 respectively.
Th
This place was just awesome. Got to see the ocean, and the whole course was just really cool! Extremely cheap for what it was too! Love this place., and staff was very nice!
Relaxing course
Very relaxing course to play. Plenty of time, no rush, and medium challenge. The course has improved a lot since last year. We definitely enjoy playing here.

Great course
Its a great course for the price greens were in excellent condition, fairways were decent except for alot of spots that were bare dirt! They still have some construction and maintenance going on but definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves golfing!
Pretty Average
Greens were in good shape but quite slow. Not much grass in the fairways.

Played in early March 2022.
CONDITIONS: Tees, greens, and bunkers were in great shape. The fairways and rough were still a bit dormant.
STAFF: Exceptional. Very helpful and personable. Realized I was a single paired with a 2-some. They checked and saw that there were openings before my scheduled tee time, and offered me the chance to go out as a single. Much appreciated!
LAYOUT: Fun course with plenty to keep your attention. This course is walkable, though there is some distance between a few of the holes.
Whenever I visit Destin I do try to play Shalimar. It's a fun course and a great value.

Great Course
If I had the money and enough time to play it, I’d definitely become a member to this golf club. Great course, relaxed feel, and beautiful greens. I played 18 in roughly three and a half hours and didn’t see anyone in front of me or behind me the whole time.
Great value
Excellent course for the money. Greens needed a little love and seemed inconsistent between holes. Super friendly staff.
Great Place/great prices
Have been there numerous times this winter and last year as well. Everything is in great shape, professional employees and provides customer care.
Not Worth the Money.
Just not worth it. Fairways were in poor condition. Greens were just OK. Will not return!
