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.

Challenging course, good for the money

If your looking for a value course, this is it. Challenging, need to play position golf. Greens were inconsistent. Overall good time, would play again.

Nice course and Dye fingerprints are here.

Firstime playing here while traveling with a friend. We both have played Pete Dye courses in the past, this one has his touch all over it. It’s more about hitting to spot than hitting it far. The course was in decent shape, greens were firm but not fast. Lots of undulating fairways and fairway bunkers. Some fairways were pretty narrow so hit it straight is imperative Staff was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely play this course again.

Good value

Good value, the greens and tee boxes were in great conditions. I make tee time for 7:07 am, the only thing I didn’t like is that I had to shoot to 5 greens without the flags because there were workers on those greens.

good value

I enjoyed the course/nice variety of hole layouts. Some long 3's. Tees and fairways good w enough grass on fairway/not thin. Greens are interesting but there are some bare to sparse areas. Not a lot of water hazard. Driving range so so. No long range water views. Use a satellite to find it. I'd like to play ;it again.

Well maintained and good pace

I was pleasantly surprised after seeing just 3 1/2 stars on the ap but the course was actually in very good shape. I finished as a single in 2 1/2 hours so the pace was good. The only minor negative was that there was no starter so the random person I was to be paired up with never happened.

Nice, good value

Nice, good course, good value. Very slow greens. Just a basic course, good challenge, views are okay, but mostly of back yards. Enjoyed the friendly staff and greens keepers.

Not up to scratch

We decided to give this course another try, the last time we played it was back in February and the grass on the greens had gone on holiday. They were in very poor condition. After hearing the advert on a local radio station boosting about how good the condition of it is we went back. Before we tee’d off there was a thunderstorm brewing so we asked if there was a rain check facility against it, we was told either way it was costing us $23 because it was pre booked. So we chanced it and decided to play. We got to the third tee and packed in because of the weather. What we saw in them two holes was no different if not worse than the last time we played it. The greens hadn’t been cut and were dyed a color that grass could never be and the second fairway had patches were grass just wasn’t there. This place is struggling in my view and it could never be cheap enough for me to play it again. It won’t be long before everyone who lives around this course has the chance to extend their garden. There are better places to play around this area.

Needs Maintenance

The greens were very sandy, couldn’t putt the ball straight, very bumpy. The fairways were decent. Overall golf course needs some touch ups all around. The layout is great and staff were very nice!
