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 Layout
Fantastic pace of play. Two of us played 18 in just over two hours. Layout is great fun; you won’t get tired of this layout playing it every day. Unique holes requiring different strategies. Good test. Several years ago was a qualifier site for the U. S. Open. It’s that good!
Nice course
Nice course, carts need to be upgraded. Driving range is irons only because of the distance & houses close by. Overall it was enjoyable, will definitely play again!
Great Experience
We were in town on vacation and just wanted to play an affordable round of golf. Great value and the complementary driving range was a nice surprise.
Good layout
This is a good course that just needs some maintenance on the greens.
Friendly staff all around. From the Pro shop to the staff in the grill. Cart guys were friendly as well.
You need to be precise off the tee and to the greens.
The greens have great potential if they can bring them back. It appears many have infected areas on them. Give the grounds crew credit as they were applying fertilizer and watering during my round.
Good value compared to the other courses in the Destin area.
I look forward to playing again next time I’m in town.
Great time
The day was raining but I had a blast
Staff are great
And I'm playing that course again
It's a mixed bag
For the area, this course is reasonably priced. I enjoyed complimentary range balls, but it was irons only. The layout is good but the fairways were patchy in areas and there were small patches of different grass in some areas on some of the greens, maybe poa? By late morning it was higher than the rest of the green. But didn't affect many of my putts. If you want good conditions, and have the money, I would not play here. If you're a muni person who wants to just play golf in the Destin area like me - it's acceptable.
Good Condition
I hadn't played Shalimar Point in over a year and it is in good condition. The fairways are in decent shape and the greens are in great shape. They have made some hole adjustments to a few of the holes and I like them.
Course
The fairways need to be seeded as there are too many bare dirt spots. The greens play like you are putting on cement. Over the top fast.
Good course for the money
Wife & I enjoyed our round. A local joined up with us & was friendly & provided tips on spots to avoid. Greens were fast; bunkers were in good shape.
