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.

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!

Shalimar point golf club.

The staff at the pro shop was very friendly. He welcomed us to the course and being new to the course offered us advice on how to play the course and what to expect. He did warn us about the typical Florida saw grass in the rough that we would lose balls in…and he was correct in that statement.

They offered us complimentary range ball to loosen up before the round which I thought was a nice touch.

The course had open fairways which gave us some room for error off the tee box. The course layout didn’t hurt you with blind shots and hidden water hazards. The greens were in very playable condition and putted true for the most part. The only downfall was the rough the did make finding your ball a challenge. If it would have been cut to 1 1/2 inches instead of 3+ inches our balls would be easier to find and speed up play.

After we finished and pulled up to our vehicle to unload our clubs an attendant rushed over to help us which I thought was a nice touch. Eglin Air Force Base is nearby so we were entertained by F15’s, F16’s and F22’s flying overhead while we played. Except for the rough slowing us down it was a good experience and a great day to golf.

Nice course and good price

The course is tight, the greens were in great shape and the layout was fair. Try to stay on the fairway because the rough is brutal. The staff was friendly and the food at the grill was very good.

Good course. Little overpriced for the conditions

Nice layout, but conditions are not up to the dollar amount it costs for a tee time unless you get a deal.

Florida Fall Golf

The cooler temps are settling in. It still will get into the low to mid 80's, but the humidity is below 50% making it a more comfortable time playing golf. The greens are perfect and fast. The fairways are perfect and plush. But the rough is thick, so keep the drives in the fairway.

Fun, challenging layout!

Fun track and in very good condition as long as you stay in the fairway and avoid the outlying rough areas! If you can keep it below the pin On the greens, otherwise you’ll probably end up three putting! Bunkers are in good shape and the driving range is included, which is nice. Definitely worth the money.

Fall on the Gulf

Excellent condition. Greens are putting quite fast in the last 2 weeks. Fairways are green and plush, but stay out of the rough, you may lose a ball, like I did on hole 2. LOL

Bring your A game!

Excellent layout, greens are a little difficult to read, but roll well, bunkers are Primo. Stay out of the Rough!!! If you have a solid game, you will do well, but the course will beat you! When you play it, you’ll know what I mean. Love it!🏌🏻‍♂️

Fun course! One of my favorites is the area.

I really enjoy the course. Thick rough, plenty of water and hazards. The course is well designed and fun to play. Even though the greens and fairways could be a little better they are never in bad condition.

Good deal for the $

For the price the course is just fine. Just be careful if you miss the fairway, balls disappear in the rough.

Warm in Florida

The weather is still hot but may be cooling down slightly after this next hurricane moves by. Greens were much faster than the previous week. The fairways are beautiful, except for the rough, its thick and hard to find your ball.
