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.

Rough shape

I’ve played this course when it was in better shape. The greens have a number of patch repairs. Several greens were relocated because of the condition of the actual greens, which meant your putting on fairway grass. Course was still soggy from rains more than a week ago.

Little rough, but beautiful, and so much potential

The course is laid out beautifully. It is victim of the weather, and the greens are a bit rough, but most were playable. The staff was friendly. We were from out of town and had to rent, and the cheapest clubs on the planet were trashed and unkempt. My driver had a hole in the club, etc., etc. However, I can't expect much more for $55 including rental??? The course has so much potential, with a good deal of maintenance needed.

Fun Day Rough Greens

To be fair the area has had several inches of rain within the last 10 days. Overall the fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. However the greens could use some work. We enjoyed the day and would return. The greens did not putt as bad as they looked, but had not been cut in a while.

Give your money to a bum instead.

Course is in terrible shape. Crew doesn’t even mow or use a string trimmer. Nothing like losing your ball in the fairway. Greens have cancer. So much potential but clubhouse is dull, there is no cart girl, and the vibe given off appears that the course doesn’t care if they succeed. Driving range is terrible.this course might be the biggest letdown I’ve experienced in golf.

Don't even consider it at its current condition.

Only the back 9 holes are open for play. Greens have been horrendous for months now. Tee boxes and fairways aren't much better. I'm not sure what happened but whoever is in charge of course maintenance needs a wake-up call. Not to mention the driving range is only ~275 yards long with houses directly bordering it in the back. Won't be playing here again.

Not worth the $

Booked the tee time a it was the only 0800 tee time in the area on golf now. Half the course was closed and had to play the back 9 twice which was advertised but would of thought at least that 9 would be kept playable. Majority of the greens were patchy with sand traps on the greens.
