Shalimar Pointe Golf Club — Local services in Florida

Worth the Wait!

Shalimar Pointe Golf Club has re-opened to the public after extensive renovations, is in spectacular condition and a delight to play. Greens and aprons are without flaw; tee boxes flat and perfect; fairways are great and well maintained. The gentleman in the pro shop was helpful and there was friendly assistance at the bag drop area before and after our round. Hot deal is running $50 to $60 + taxes/fees and is a fair price for this track.

We played on Friday, July 7th and it did not look all that busy but steady. No on course beverage service so stock up before heading out! Water coolers had cold fresh water on the course. You do make the turn at the club house and drink prices are fair with friendly service.

If you’ve played Shalimar before the renovation, you will notice only a few changes in the course, other than improved turf in the fairways/tee boxes, and of course the new greens. A couple hazards (bunkers/waste areas) have been reduced or otherwise converted into a water hazard, making the fun factor even higher than it was before.

We really cannot understand how anyone could rate the course conditions as sub-standard or lacking somehow when comparing to other courses in the area. We could find only minor changes that would improve this facility and they are: There is no GPS on the carts but plenty of yardage indicators on the course. There was signage indicating pin placement in the #1 position but no sheet provided. We would recommend including a pin placement graphic on the score card next revision and in the interim, provide a sheet to the player. My brother and I are mid-handicappers and played from the green tee box. Although the weather was warm, we enjoyed lots of breezes off the bay. This course provided us with lots of challenges but because of conditioning, we could not blame our score on the course! We will return again soon and encourage those reading this review to...

My experience at Shalimar Point Golf Club has been nothing short of exceptional, earning it a well-deserved five-star rating as the best golf value in the area. From the moment my wife and I stepped onto the course, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere from staff and members who would stop to chat to ensure all was going well. We played a round early in the month, enjoyed the course, and afterward, we discovered they offered a monthly snowbird rate at a very reasonable cost. Consequently, we opted for a couple's membership.

The staff at Shalimar Point Golf Club goes above and beyond to make visitors feel at home, creating an environment that truly enhances the overall golfing experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the course itself. It's a fun layout with excellent greens, and the design incorporates some challenging risk-reward situations, providing a perfect balance for golfers of all skill levels. Additionally, it is a fair course with open fairways and is not punitive.

One of the most impressive aspects is the pace of play. Our average round was typically completed in under 3 hours and 15 minutes. It was always easy to reserve rounds for the next day at our preferred time.

Shalimar offers a fantastic blend of well-maintained fairways, scenic surroundings, and a layout that challenges golfers of all skill levels. The course design strikes a perfect balance between playability and strategy, making it enjoyable for both the casual player and the seasoned enthusiast.

But what truly set this round apart was the backdrop of F-35 jets soaring through the skies above us all day—a stirring reminder of the “sound of freedom.” The deep, resonant roar of these remarkable machines added a uniquely patriotic touch to the experience, making it unforgettable. For a moment, it felt like the perfect harmony of sport and spectacle, with every swing accompanied by the awe-inspiring soundtrack of national pride.
