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.

Challenging greens
Course was much different then what I'm used to in Eastern PA. Greens were very slow, surrounded by lots of sand traps.
Local golfer
The course layout is challenging but it needs more attention to the fairways, they were bare in spots. The greens were recently aerated and sanded, and no one mentioned it prior to our round.
“Treated greens” = SANDED GREENS
Would have been nice if they would have let me know that before showing up. Played auto two putt. I won’t be back.
Challenging layout
Very fun course challenging greens are in great shape will be back very soon
Very Friendly!
The coarse needs some water but the staff was excellent, food was good cart girl was around a good amount and it was a nice round of golf!
Not worth the money
Using Golf Now, this was the only course available at a reasonable time under $110 per player.
The best part of the course the sand traps near the greens. Other than that, there was sand in almost ever single lie, even at times, on the greens.
The fairway grass is so close to the ground that they look like a par three tee box; sand/seed mix poured everywhere because there are NO divots to replace.
The greens had something that looked like a dried green ash in large spots/ weird.
I do not like to assume but I doubt there is any irrigation on this course, including the greens.
Then there is the jet noise. That is not the fault of the course, but it makes the terrible condition even worse.
In summary, skip the course.
To say something positive the people and the pro shop are really nice
Great course to play
Fun day, weather was great. Greens are fast but coming out of the winter dormant season. It really hasn't been warm enough yet for the growing season to kick in so there was some bumpiness to the greens. This should be temporary until they really start growing again.
Worth the Price!
Course is always in pretty god shape, needs a little more attention to the fairways, but otherwise a decent and challenging course for the money. Pin placement was very challenging and didn't like that, we weren't playing in a tournament so not sure why the pins were all tucked away on the greens. Course card needs hole layouts and/or update to some GPS for yardage calculations on the course. Several holes have hidden shots and are layup drives.
Disappointing
I’d played solo in the afternoon. Disappointing considering the long time and large amt of money used to upgrade the course. Far too many patches and sand in the fairways and greens are embarrassing. Do something soon GM or you’ll start losing members!
Good Value
Due to poor weather it needs another month for the greens and fairways to grow in.
If you want to play an unrushed round of golf on fair layout with reasonable rates compared to the gulf coast courses this is it.
Thank you for playing with us and providing the review. We are glad you enjoyed it and look forward to hosting you again soon!
