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.

Nice Looking Course

I enjoyed the layout but the fairways and rough was very thin, it was hard to make a good shot.

I'm sure as the weather get's better the course conditions will get better.

Good time and great weather today and the price was very fair.

Poor Conditions

The course is dry and sandy. Couldn’t find a good lie anywhere. Greens are bare and bumpy. I love the layout of this course and really wish they could bring it back to life. They shouldn’t be charging more than $25 to play because of conditions.

Shalimar Pointe

Good layout. The dormant Bermuda was thin in the fairways, that led to a lot of bare sandy lies; but for $25 it was a great place to get your swings in. The greens were medium speed and rolled fine. A great value for the price.
