Shalimar Pointe Golf Club
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.

Great layout just not in great condition
This could be one of the best courses in the area. The layout is great and even tricked me into losing a ball in the water on #3. If I could improve one thing it would be the greens, they seemed to be burned out or something? Overall it was my first time playing here and I will most likely play here again.
Nice course for medium level golfers
Fun course. Great Price. Challenging but not too bad.
It's been a long time
It has been a year since I played. Found the course in need of better maintenance. I do understand they lost their pumps during Hurricane Sally.
The speed of play on the first 9 holes was not good. There should have been a marshall on the course. The starter doing both roles is not sufficient, especially the day after Thanksgiving.
The grill staff was great except they closed at 2pm so no 19th hole.
The check in desk and starter were friendly and courteous.
Average Course
Course is not in the best of shape but is priced fair for the conditions

Good time on a friendly price
We had fun. Still some storm damage as to be expected, but have spend a lot more at other places in the same condition.
Well worth it... $160 for 18 holes with carts for 4 of us. Will play again.
Relaxing course
As with many courses, this one is still beat up from after the hurricane. $40/18 holes with cart is well worth it though, and staff is great with excellent drink prices too. Will play again.
BOOM
Great course, glad to see her coming back. Has always been a hidden favorite of everyone in the area, CHEERS to all making the comeback!
Only play if it's cheap
Course was in very rough shape compared to other courses in the area. This is a $20 golf course

Course has a great layout and awesome staff
It is a fun course. Definitely a little damage from storms but nothing unbearable. The greens had some bad spots but majority of green was playable. We had a rain delay for almost 2 hours but didn’t mind it a bit with everything the club house had to offer. Cold beer and college football with great staff to talk to. Went back on the course and all the water drained well and had a nice rest of the round.
Very Nice Indeed
Haven't played this course in a while. Glad to see it back on GolfNow at a reasonable price and time slot. The course was in overall excellent shape. There were just a spot of two on a green or two that needed work, but that was it. The greens were probably the best we have played on while in the panhandle this trip. The layout is quite challenging still playing from roughly 6,000 yards. I hope to be back soon.
So disappointing
I’ve been coming down to visit my Parents for 38 years and playing Shalimar almost every time. This is the worst conditions I’ve ever seen the course. Burnt out everywhere. Piles of fallen trees everywhere. Shame to see a once excellent course waste away
Hello and thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your recent visit with us. Please know that the current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Shalimar Pointe Golf & Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Not the same course as in the past
This is a great track and a very challenging course however is not been kept up over the years. Have always enjoyed the challenge here however very disappointing since I was here last time it's gone farther downhill
