Shalimar Pointe Golf Club

The humidity is up in FL. The course was in good shape. Fairways were green and plush. The greens were filling in from the past winter. There were still a few bare spots but should grow in within a few weeks. They had a little bump in them and should smooth out soon. No weeds on the greens. All in all, they are coming back from the 7” of snow we had in January.

As soon as you get there', then staff is trying to help you. The practice range, chipping and putting were all perfect. The course is well maintained and challenging. A must stop on your plans of in Destin, Florida..

Had a wonderful round today with a friend. The course was in good shape. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Food was good, golf shop items were top notch, drinks were great and the cart girl was timely. Overall a great experience we will repeat many times! Thanks!

The greens were in rough condition, but you could play on them. I’ve played a few courses in this part of the country and I generally find the greens puzzling. I heard they were working to improve them. I found the course layout to be quite interesting. I thought the green complexes were unique in a good way. Most were protected by water on one side and were often built up with pylons. The ball responded predictably on approach and greenside shots. The fairways and rough were in reasonably good condition. I would play there again. I hope they can improve the green conditions.

The pace was a bit fast for us but we are not very good lol!! The greens could use some work.

Overall we enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend.

had a nice round at Shalimar today. Have played there a dozen times over last 3-4 years. Couple of the greens were hurting but had a fun round at a reasonable price. Nice pace of play. Wish I could start on 10. Finishing on 17 and 18 are tough holes!!!

We chose this course as a substitute for a rain out on another round. It was a “hot deal” price, so we took the risk. GolfNow would only let me book 2 golfers at that rate ($38.99) so I called and tried to book 4 and they tried to charge me $84.99. It was wet and they had tons of times available but wouldn’t budge on it. I think they have a call center handling their reservations. I ended up booking back to back 2 man times and we just merged when we got there. Not busy at all due to weather. Tee boxes were chewed up, greens were covered in black fungus. It wasn’t great. Layout was ok and the place has potential but it’s in bad shape now. Nice young guys working there. I felt ok with $39 but would have been unhappy at $85.

Old course. Fairways are generous. You need to play it more than once to know where the trouble is. (waste areas, water, sand). Course isn’t long so my wife really enjoyed playing with me. I’m normally a 5 handicap so I played worse than I liked with a 78. Definitely want to play again. I think I could break par. Value for enjoyment was awesome. Play it.

this course needs some TLC from the greenskeepers. The greens used to be great, but far from that now. It's a shame.

There was a light coating of sand on the greens. This is normal for this time of year. Greens were not punched like a normal aeration procedure, just sand. They were still fast putting. Fairways were still a bit thin but turning green with the season. Fertilizer was laid down. It shouldn’t take too long to get back to normal.

I had read that the course had been renovated; however, I hope this is not the case. The practice green was in terrible shape as well as the all18 hole greens. Looked like they put sand on the greens but forgot to aerate & water the greens. I don’t think the course has irrigation systems from tee to green. It was hard to put a tee in the ground on some tee boxes. Course was very dry & this is April. Can’t imagine what it’s going to be in July. From my viewpoint, the only high rating was the staff. Hole 17 & 18 were the best laid out holes. Clubhouse needs updated.

Fantastic pace of play. Two of us played 18 in just over two hours. Layout is great fun; you won’t get tired of this layout playing it every day. Unique holes requiring different strategies. Good test. Several years ago was a qualifier site for the U. S. Open. It’s that good!

Nice course, carts need to be upgraded. Driving range is irons only because of the distance & houses close by. Overall it was enjoyable, will definitely play again!
