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.

Great course
Enjoyed outing as always. Staff were courteous and friendly. Course in great shape
Sat. Morning Round
Played Sat. Morning for a round. Have played the course several times before the renovation. The course is good and challenging. If you keep the ball in the fairway great chance to score. In the rough hang it up! The course will only get better with the proper management. Hopefully that will happen. Woth the money! Will pay again in the near future.
Lovely course that’s recovering from summer heat
Had a great round with great company.
Staff really nice and friendly.
Some lovely holes and a nice layout.
Very Nice Course
The course is in excellent condition. The fall weather and cooler temperatures have been enjoyable to play in. Greens and fairways are superb.
Fun course but rough grass cut too long
We had a very enjoyable round with two other local golfers - their sense of humour and fun approach overcame the over-long Bermuda grass rough (so long we couldn’t see/find the ball even though we knew where it landed). It had been very dry so some areas a bit burnt out, but a nice course and good layout.
pro shop staff needs improvement
Came here for Veterans Day. The course is very nice however, pro shop customer service needs improvement. Me and two other veterans came play on Veterans Day, were told we would only be able to play the back nine twice. The front nine was unplayable due to recent rains. We paid for 18 holes on an overcast day, and were only able to play 8 before it started pouring. When we asked for a rain check or a voucher for the nine we didn’t play, we were told “no, you knew what you were getting into”. Happy Veterans Day!
Nice course!
Everything was in great shape, which allowed me to enjoy my round with my best bud Joe, who just retired from Air Force after 32 years of service!

The layout is great
Been playing here the last three years when we come for vacation in November. I will be back , probably on this vacation I played here Monday and the course was in good shape. Greens were a little slow and tee boxes could use some grass but overall it was good. I would recommend if your looking for a good course without breaking the bank
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Probably the same guys that got in our way the whole day - golf does NOT take 5 hours to play.
Rough is ridiculous
Overall course isn’t in good condition at all. Greens were ver good, fairways were average in the good spots and out right barren in most areas. The rough was entirely too deep. Miss the green by just a little and it could be a lost ball. Rough needs to be reduced as a pace of play issue. Get out of the middle of the fairway or miss the green and it takes forever to find your ball.
Second Time
Second time to play. Pay was slow due to people in front and desk sending to both front and back. Green seems to be struggling, but staff is excellent.
Love this course
Not too difficult, not too easy. Just about right for average golfers. Fairways and greens in really good shape. Will be coming back next year. Staff is awesome as well.
Best deal
Even with the drought conditions and still no rain in sight for the next 10 or more days, the course is green and plush. Rough is thick and oftentimes difficult to find your ball. Greens are fast but also slow going uphill. All in all, excellent performance.
In the rough!
If you are not in the fairway, finding your ball is a task based on the height of the grass!
It would be amazing if golfers (4-somes who take over 5 hours to play a round of golf) if they had any remote courtesy to GET OUT OF THE WAY for faster and smaller group players. Do better Shalimar Pointe - this is 3 times in a row we've wrote about this so get a marshal out there who will get people moving faster or out of the way or just kick them off the course!!
Fairways comment you made is somewhat of a fantasy comment - fairways for grass not 2 years old is not very well and greens are far too fast for the average golfer the way the course sets some of those flags up.
