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.

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.
Love the course
This course is challenging fairways narrow playing in between homes one of my favorite courses

Shalimar
First time here. I visit & play Destin every December. This course pales in comparison to some of the more spendy courses in Destin, but if you get a good deal on it it’s definitely worth playing. Old school layout and is relatively short
Thank you for playing and providing the review. It is a great layout and we pride ourselves on a great customer experience! Hope to see you again soon!

Exquisite layout
Beautiful course to play! Everything was in very good shape. The greens were quite fast to putt on, but just a slight bumpy. But all in all, New Years Day playing golf is better than working!
Thank you for playing and providing the review. It's always nice and the sign of good golfer when they appreciate this layout! It is a good one and we pride ourselves on a great customer experience! Hope to see you again soon!

Challenging layout, fun to play here.
Course is in good shape and the fairways are filling in nicely and the greens are really coming around. There were a few spots on a couple of the greens but overall they were really nice and puts were tricky to read on some greens. I recommend if you are in this area that you should seek out this course and play it a couple of times.
Thank you for playing and providing the review! We are glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again soon!

Golf course condition
Look, if you don’t like paying a lot, it’s great. $72 for two? How do you beat it? The course has a great layout, but obviously struggling for cash to take care of the course. Pretty tough conditions, and I don’t think there is a watering system.? Not any grass to speak of. Cheap is the largest plus.
Carts are gas without computers and very few yardage markers
Thank you for playing and providing the review. The recent rains have helped tremendously. Give it another try soon!
Thank you,

Not great
The course has potential but the condition is poor. The fairways are spotty with some really thin areas. The green were very slow, bumpy and had a lot of other weeds in them. There were also a bunch of dead spots and bare dirt.
Thank you for playing and providing the review. The recent rains have helped tremendously. Give it another try soon!

Nice Course at Shalimar
Played here last year (Sept 2018) and greens were not in great shape...This time they were terrific and very well maintained. Challenging course, nice layout..and friendly staff. Some of the tee boxes and fairways could be better...but overall this was a great value
Thank you for playing and providing the review. We are glad you enjoyed the round and hope to see you again soon!

Shalimar Point
Always enjoy playing this course. Last 4 years it has been great. This year greens were in pretty bad shape. Fairways were great staff was great. All in all we had a great time. We will be back next year.
Good Test for an Average Golfer
Greens are anything but flat. Hard breaking and moderately fast. As a bogie golfer I was challenged, and had a good time.
James,
Thank you for playing and providing the review. Looks like you enjoyed it and we're happy to hear that. Hope to see you again soon.

Shalimar pointe coming back!
I hadn’t played Shalimar pointe in several years. The course condition had gotten pretty rough for awhile. Played this morning and I was happy to see the course is in really good shape! The layout is kinda tight with a lot of curves. I have always liked the course quite a bit, and I’m looking forward to playing it more now that it’s coming back.
Thank you for playing and providing the kind review. We continue to work on improving the golf course and we're glad to hear you've come back! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Thank you,
