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.

Shalamar Pointe
Loved the layout of the course. The greens were not your normal flat greens as they had nice undulating surfaces to putt up or down. The course required thinking about how to attack the greens. Really enjoyed the experience. The staff were very good to work with. Thanks.
Good Greens
Nice course. Prices in Destin Ft. Walden area are high in Jan - March...if you get a good price this course is worth it. Greens and T boxes are good and course lay-out is nice. Fairways are OK (not great). Will play again.
Wide Open but Challenging
Some of the holes were pretty challenging although the it was during the dormant season so there was very little green grass.
First time playing
I really like the layout,,when everything is growing, I bet it is beautiful, ut for February, it was very good.
I'll be back..again this .month
Nice!
Greens were as good as you could want. Speed, slopes, condition, and challenging. Just fun. Bermuda grass is dormant now but fairways were very playable. Price was just right. Staff friendly. I was very satisfied. It met my expectations. I'll be back soon!
Shalimar
Fairways are not that great.
Thought the greens were quick. Don’t get too aggressive on putts.
Appreciate the free range balls.
Will be much nicer when things green up.
2/5 max
Layout: Ok. Fairways: horribles. Greens: ondulated and 10 Ttmes too fast. Won't hère again
Worth the money for Destin in Feb.
I would play this course again. Greens were fast with a lot of undulation. The fairways were just OK...I think this is normal for FL in the winter as the fairways are dormant.
Average but difficult
Greens were below expectation
Layout was pretty good but lack of grass and water makes a potentially good course ordinary
Wrong time of year.
Course looked good but wrong timing. Not green enough. Like to play when it greens up.
Nice course, challenging greens...firm and fast with tough pin placements. Not a lot of straight putts.
