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.

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.
Golf
The greens were sand, the course was aerated it was difficult to play under those conditions.
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
GREAT Course in TERRIBLE Shape
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!!
Terrible
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
Same as always
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...
Shalimar Pt.
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.
Corona time
Course was just as I remember it, greens lacked a little, I guess due to reseeding/maintenance during sore period? Overall it was great.
Not the best course for the money
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
Poor Conditions
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.
Greens
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.
Shalimar Point OK Golf
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.
Best course played in FWB so far
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.
Greens were in terrible condition
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!
