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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Good course, needs some tlc

The staff were amazing, and the breakfast wrap was phenomenal.

What frustrated me the most was that I’m here on vacation and will only play one round. I called the day before I booked to ask what shape the course was in and I was told “really good”.

The greens were quite sandy and inconsistent speeds. Tee boxes were overgrown and in need of a cut. The fairways were nice, and some the whole were beautiful.

In better shape this is a course is play again, just annoyed by the condition of the tee boxes and greens.

Thank you for playing and providing the review. I'm sorry the greens and tees did not meet your expectations. The extreme dry conditions have made things a bit of challenge in a few areas but we continue to work through it and improve. Hope to see you again when you make it back.

Great value

Greens were recently punched but putts rolled well. Fairways look great. $30 9am on for the rest of the month because of the heat. Great value. I played Friday morning at 9 as a single and finished by 11:30

Very average

Pro Shop guy was super nice to start. Course had bunch of unkept areas near fairways. Greens had lots of spots covered in sand. Fairways were OK. Stuck behind a foursome that had only two sets of clubs for the last 3 holes. If your a good golfer you will expect more, if you're a hacker it will work for you.

Greens rolled good

Course layout was a bit strange/Blind tee shots

Looks like at one time it was a 4/5 star

Pro Shop guy was nice, but slow

Nobody working the Grill and was out of everything.... VERY SLOW

I wouldn’t pay 45 during the week

Nice carts

No GPS

Overall ok experience.
