Shalimar Pointe Golf Club

The course is a fantastic layout but is in DIRE need of complete aeration, overseeing, and water! This place would be the hands-down best track around if a whole bunch of TLC were added.

PROs: Great course layout. Friendly Staff.

CONs: Terrible greens, hard and barren fairways, and bald spots everywhere. No cart service available either.

OVERALL: Do NOT come to play here unless you want to practice your ball-striking on the course! If that’s what you plan on doing, by all means come out, but you’re going to pay too much! It’s a darn shame! I hope this course gets new life bc it’s a fantastic layout that only needs some professional attention!!

The greens were absolutely atrocious. Almost unplayable. More that 50% of each green was just dirt. The course is in terrible shape. Fairways were awful as well, felt like my ball was always in some sandy area. DO NOT PLAY HERE. IF YOU DO AND DONT LIKE IT, DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU

The driving range was only available to members so we couldn’t warm up. (Always makes for a fun day hitting cold off of 1) not much fairway grass and the greens were atrocious. The few that had grass were unevenly mowed. The t boxes were in decent conditions. I quickly remember why we said we’d never come back...

The course was challenging for me.

Having not played it before made it a lot harder.

We enjoyed our round we were not held up by any slow players.

Our only complaint would be the greens need a lot of care. They were in pretty rough shape compared to the other courses in the area.

Course was just as I remember it, greens lacked a little, I guess due to reseeding/maintenance during sore period? Overall it was great.

Went and played the course for the first time after scoring it on a Hot Deal for $32 and I don’t think it was even worth that unfortunately. The greens were very poor for the most part. We weren’t allowed on the range to warm up prior to the round. They 1st and 10th tee boxes were backed up 3 groups deep when we teed off and made the turn. I was expecting to see some of the bay being so close to the water but none of the holes have any great views of the water. I think you would be better off playing else where near Destin

The course was in very poor condition with many of the greens suffering from fungus and large bald spots and the course if a very dry and burned out status. I would save my money until they get conditions back under control.

This course is always a challenge and today the greens were the challenge, they need a lot of attention. There are a lot bare spots and what grass that was there was pretty shaggy and slow and bumpy.

Buy like the layout of the course and the staff are plesant and helpful. I have played this course for years and it is normally in much better condition and I sure they will be again soon.

To be honest I thought course would be in better condition. Don’t get me wring I’m glad they’re open during the wuhan virus. But the course was disappointing in relation of what a great layout this course is. It’s a great layout that’s not being kept up very well. Slow greens and sparse fairway grass in many areas. Overall an ok round.

Details says includes range balls, but range is members only. Not much of a practice putting or chipping green. Course was in pretty good shape. Nice fairways and greens. Interesting layout. My favorite course I’ve played in this area so far.

Great course layout, played 2 or 3 time already this year. It will be some time before I play it again due to the fact that the greens were in absolutely terrible condition. I really hope it’s a temporary blip in maintenance standards as this course is a great layout.

I would advise reading recent reviews prior to booking. Crossing my fingers it gets back up to scratch!

I like the course but, the greens were sand. Drove an hour to get there. Some patchy fairways.

Always enjoy playing here but today there were 3groups of 4 member players covering 4 holes and wouldn’t let others play through. Call before you play to make sure there aren’t members playing.

Shalimar Point is a good test of one’s game and is very well trapped to catch an errant shot. Greens are rough. Not much grass on them.

After a 13 hour drive from Chicago (and 3 months of not golfing), this was the first course I played in the Destin area. Affordable rates, and few golfers, made this the perfect place to knock the frost off my swing.

The Good: Great layout. Lots of potential. Some tough holes (#17 got me good). Staff seemed nice and helpful.

The Bad: This place needs some love. Tee boxes are crowned. Spotty lies in the fairways. Maybe clear some trees. I did like the natural sand areas, though I'm not sure if those are intentional or not.

The greens were top dressed the day I played, but I paid the twilight rate so I didn't mind (they still rolled pretty well).

This course served as a great "tune up" for the rest of the golf I played in Destin. And for that, I do recommend this course. Thank you!

Everyone was very friendly but we all agreed that If it were the last course on earth we would quit golf. Greens were horrible. Fairways had varying degrees of grass dirt and gravel and tee boxes were very unlevel. I feel sorry for the staff because I’m sure they are limited by funds but we were very disappointed

I will not be back to this course. The conditions of the golf course were not good. The greens were the worst I’ve ever played on.
