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.

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.

Greens are destroyed
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!
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.

Inexpensive
If you want to play and not pay the exorbitant rates of other area courses try Shalimar. Greens are rough but layout is fun. It’s seem better days but if you are an average golfer then worth it. Booked on golf now for $24 on Saturday for 18 with cart.

Terrible course conditions
I have played this course many times over the last 11 years so I am familiar with it. The current course conditions are horrible. The greens have large areas with no grass, the fairways are very thin with the grass and the tees are also in very poor condition. I will not be playing this course again for a long time until I hear that the conditions have improved greatly

Great course for the money. Always very friendly. Area had a lot of rain the week before we were there and that affected course conditions.
Payed for 18 only played 9
The greens were terrible and the rest of the course was like hitting off concrete. No beverage cart but bartender was nice. Would give course conditions no star if possible. Don’t waste your money!

Snowbird Golf
I've been playing the course during snowbird season for the past few years. For us, it's just a pleasure to be outside hitting a ball. The course does not over seed, so it's tight lies golf in the fairways. The greens and the bunkers are very playable. What I really love about the course is the layout. It will challenge your game and keep you coming back to try and beat the course.
