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.

Would not book it
We booked bc we thought it was a decent price. Green are the worst I’ve ever seen a course have. Pace of play is terrible since they had the front 9 shut down and you had to play the back 9 twice. Layout is a cool concept and all but between the terrible greens and bunkers that have had zero attention I would never recommend going.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
The last thing I heard is that they lost their greens and tee boxes.

Bad greens.
The old saying too good to be true certainly applies here. I saw the rate and decided to play.
There was nothing before I booked to indicate the greens were ate up.
Very disappointing will not be back

Horrible
If there was less than a 1 star rating, this course would have scored it.
Shame to see such a nice design left to such neglect. Greens were unplayable. Worst I’ve ever seen. Front nine closed. Waste of time and money while on vacation. Even though it was dirt cheap, you couldn’t pay me 5X green fee to come back!
Sorry for the honest review. But you asked.

Worst golf experience I've ever had
Worst golf experience I've ever had, and I've played over 70 courses.
Not only were four greens under construction, but the others were all in horrible condition. Actually, almost everything was in horrible condition.
But what drove this home for me was the fact that a resident was walking his dog in the middle of a fairway without a leash. When he was asked to put his leash on a dog that was barking and running over to us, he told us to shove our clubs where the sun don't shine. With that kind of attitude towards golfers paying money to play at this horrible course, I'd say don't give them your money to begin with. Easily the worst experience I've ever had at a golf course.

Greens
Fairways and sand were in great shape but every single green was horrible ,they did warm us about 4 greens that were under construction and they’d fine but all of the greens were junk. Clubhouse food is a little pricey

Not for serious golfers
So first off the staff was great and course was fun, however the greens are absolutely horrible. Horrible is is actually an understatement, but I was in town visiting family and it was a really fun course just to get out in nature and hangout with a group of buddies. The mgr on duty said they are going to redo all the greens in the near future. That will make the course a lot more fun. For $30.00 with a cart I’ll go back if I’m not worried about score again, if I actually want to play I will go elsewhere.
Course needs work
Greens were in horrible condition. Bare spots, dead spots, moldy spots. Front nine was closed due to too much rain. I was told by the staff the front nine greens were worse and three of them were temporary greens. I would check with the course before booking.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Priced correctly
Played this course in July. Fairways were okay but greens were in poor composition. Could only play back 9 due to front 9 being closed. Lounge/bar under construction. Felt awkward even attempting to go in and order anything, so didn't.
However, for the cost, it was great to get out, priced accordingly due to maintenance issues, and the pace was fantastic.
Hello, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We strive for a 5-star experience, so we welcome your feedback. We work hard to maintain the course for everyone's benefit, which means aerifying the greens as part of our regular maintenance schedule. The greens will be healed soon and in pristine condition. Please come back soon for the 5-star experience you expect at Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
Great location and poor course conditions
This course is in extremely poor condition. A well pump went out early 2021 and was not fixed in time to save many of the greens and fairways. They are making progress in the course's recovery, but are several months away.. This has always been one of my course favorites, but must wait until it improves greatly before playing again.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks for choosing Shalimar Pointe Golf Club.
Not ready for play
Loss of a pump for months destroyed greens that are irregular & most have large bare spots. Some fairways are nice & green but we won’t be back for a while until course is recovered.
