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.

Friendly staff/Crappy course
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
Greens are awful.
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.
Great Design
Of all the courses in the area, this course has a fabulous design. Each hole has its own character. Greens had been recently sanded so they were fast. Fairways will be greener as the weather warms
Very disappointed with the conditions of the greens. They were obviously in transition from winter to summer but I would have thought that information would be provided during the booking.
Mediocre course
About as much sand as grass on holes.
Greens fair, but lots of painted areas.
If looking for average course and trying to save money, this is the place.
Does have some nice and challenging holes.
Good for winter tune up B4 heading home
Course layout good mix of challenging, moderate and easy holes. 4 choices of tee blocks. Greens are in poor condition, lots of mildew areas coated with green coating to disguise. Pace of play is good EXCEPT early morning. They allow a group of 5 members to play together. They are very slow and show no concern about pace of play with guests behind them. Over the past 2 months, have been stuck behind this group 3 times. As a result, I have played other courses in the area with early AM tee times. This takes away any enjoyment of play.
Not worth the money
The course was not in great shape. Greens were an absolute disaster. There are many golf courses in the area that I would rather play for the amount a round costs here.
Great Course Great Staff
Played a foggy round but managed to get it in before the thick stuff came in. Course was in good shape.
The staff was very helpful especially to one of our foursome that had not played before.
Very enjoyable day.
Worth Playing
Golf course is user friendly, was in decent winter condition and is worth while playing. We encountered slow play, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
pleasantly surprised by a very good course
the course layout is great with lots of different holes to challenge your game - play your right yardage and you should like it. staff was very friendly and welcoming. it was 'winter' so the course showed some thin spots, but tees were good and greens were certainly puttable. as a Snowbird staying in Miramar Beach, I would come more often if not for the distance. I do plan to play Shalimar again !
Thank your for playing and providing the kind review. We are always happy to have our winter guests here! Hope to see you again soon!
Thank you,

No thanks, Never Again
Whole front waited on a single waiting on 3 - 5somes. Went to front 9 again after turn. Assistant Super said my son and I should join 1 some, who never wanted us to join him, and play would get better. He said 2 singles and a foursome just teed off front. Told him no thanks. Never caught anyone and played front in 1 hour and 4 minutes as opposed to 2 hrs 15 behind the fivesomes. Would like to thank him for his honesty!!!!!!. My BS meter was right again. He just wanted to start watering, which he did anyway. Never again will this extremely out of shape course see me.
Enjoyable outing
32 Degrees when my gf and I arrived . The very friendly young lady had fresh brewed coffee ready and waiting . I checked both my gf and myself in and it went seamlessly with a friendly man getting the check in done promptly and courteously. I’m from TN and we don’t have the sand that Florida has so we have a lot more grass . The course was generally in fine shape and we enjoyed playing it and we will again soon.
Gary,
I'm glad y'all enjoyed your round and your time with us! Thank you for the review and the kind words about the staff. I'm blessed with a good group here! Hope to see you both again soon.

Mkster,
Thank you for playing and providing the review. I apologize for the pace of play yesterday. I'm thinking you played in the afternoon. We did have a couple of groups ran slow in spite of our efforts to get them to speed up. The finally were able to but regrettably the damage was already done. We hope to see you again soon.
Thank you,
