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.

Meh

Greens were decent, course conditions about the same. You would get a good condition on one hole then poor to fair on the next. Paid $30, so for that worth the try. Wouldn’t play it again, would take my chances on another course for the first time.

Not good

The course seems like it could be great but it is just beat up in the fairways and especially on and around the green. Some areas of the fairway is understandable but the greens and around the greens need to be kept up with a lot better. Just my opinion but no way this is a dour star rated course.

Fun Course to Play

I've always enjoyed playing this course. There is quite a mixture of green sizes from small to large and very undulating putts. It really helps to have a laser range finder. The fairways are nice and green. The greens were a little on the slow putting, maybe they didn't mow them on the day I played. But overall, they were good.

An Enjoyable Round of Golf

I enjoyed my round of golf at Shalimar Pointe. It’s a well maintained course and reasonably priced. I was there as a single golfer playing a round on vacation. The staff was very helpful in helping me find the rest of the people in my foursome. Even though the course was pretty busy, the pace of play was not slow. The next time I am in the area, this is a place I will definitely return to.

You get what you pay for

Tee boxes were okay, some better than the others. Same with the greens. The fairways were in fair condition and not much cushion under the ball. Sand traps were not well tended. Some were hard mud. The course was not too busy so we could play at our pace without much concern

Disappointing but friendly

It is a 2 star simply because many of the greens are not well kept as well as some Tee off areas and fairways. The staff is great and everyone there are good people. The price was too high for the course conditions in my opinion.

Good play for the money

Told it was tight but I didn’t think so. Playable. Doesn’t kill you for an errant shot. Some bare spots on the greens. Several jumps in the middle of the tee boxes. Some decent elevation changes for being so close to the bay

Personal Best

I usually only get to golf while on vacation a couple of times per year. I shot a personal best on this course. Lots of sand and some challenging water but the layout was forgiving enough to enjoy a little left or right if needed. The greens were spectacular and mostly consistent even up to 3pm at 90 degrees. They were also pleasantly challenging with some curved hills but allowing you options to putt uphill often. Some of the distances and pin placements seemed to not follow the chart but it was pretty easy to adjust. That would really be my only complaint.

Circles

I swear the path takes you in infinite circles and through suburbs.. looking for a little nicer of a course when I visit Florida.. 25 a round is about what this course is worth.. Its playable.. it's not trash.. just not what I was gunning for on short notice.

Could be an amazing course

This course has so much potential. But the greens are absolutely terrible. Such a disappointment because this could be one of the really good courses in this area if only they did something about the greens
