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.

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.
DON’T PLAY!
Not in good shape at all, worst golf course I’ve ever played, can’t putt.Layout is good but not in good enough shape to be open at all. Don’t waste your time. Especially if your traveling from out of state.
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.
Disappointing
I got to the second hole and I got worried. Worried that there wouldn’t be any sand left on the beach after seeing how much sand the greens and the fairways had on them. The course is in terrible shape and the the front 9 isn’t even open right now. Would not recommend to a friend or even an enemy for that matter. Not worth it!
I've played this course for thirty years and it is in the worst shape ever. They would be better off to kill what grass is remaining on the greens and start over. They also need to get a new crew who knows what they are doing. Absolute shame this course has gotten this bad. I feel bad for the people who own houses on the course and are members there.

Great course aside from greens
This course has a great, challenging set up until you reach the greens which were damaged severely by hurricane sally and are still in recovery mode. Cheap rate makes up for horrific greens. Wouldn’t play unless paying under $30 .
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Shalimar Pointe Golf Club!
Decent
Decent course, especially for the price. The layout of this course is amazing, but the greens are in rough shape. Even with the rough greens, this course has decent value for such a low price point.
Waste of money
Course layout is nice. Rolling hills with some technical shots needed. Some reachable or near reachable par 4’s for your longer hitter. Staff was very friendly.
The greens are horrible. Completely impossible to even putt. Huge dead area spots that cover anywhere from 60-90% of the green. Several holes played a 2 putt rule and picked up. Honestly, they may not be able to save these.
Fairways were extremely dry. Rough was well over grown with more weeds than anything else. It appears this course has been going under for several months with neglect in the ground keeping department.
I will not be back!

Horrendous Conditions
This was 100% the worst course I’ve ever played, and it’s not even close. There was barely any grass on the greens, the tee boxes were terrible, most of them weren’t even level. The sprinklers were on for every single hole we played that was not a par 3, and we played at 9am. They were still on when we finished at about 1pm.

Pretty area and tough course but the greens are all tore up. Was absolutely a waste of time to play.

Don't play here! Greens incredibly eaten up
If you play here after this review you are nuts! Every green was the worst green I ever played on. I played with 3 who were familiar with the course and they even said that the greens probably won't be "good" until next year, and that would be with major work. If you spend 1 penny to play this course you are nuts. I will say that if you just want to practice the other parts of your game, it's ok. Greens worst I've EVER seen.

Staff was friendly. Course was in ok shape but the greens were atrocious. I would not recommend until the greens are repaired. When I played the course a few years ago it was much better.
Overall a fun round, great layout, several fun risk- reward holes. Greens we're sub-par, maybe due to fungus/hard winter, something.
Good value and a fun low key round. I'll play it again when back in the area.
Going to lose greens
Course was in rough shape since the winter. Going to lose the greens if not careful. I had to skip a home because maintenance was on the green. Menu was very reasonable!
