Shalimar Pointe Golf Club

Overview: Shalimar Pointe brings a public 18-hole routing to the Florida Panhandle, playing to par 72 and 6,765 yards. Its parkland character comes from tree-lined fairways, water and the broader coastal landscape near Choctawhatchee Bay. The layout offers a full-length round while remaining part of a local community rather than a resort-only golf operation.

History: The course opened in 1968 according to the available records and credit Joe Finger and Ken Dye with the design, although one directory also credits William W. Amick. The homeowners association purchased the course and clubhouse in 2012 to preserve the facility, followed by a significant renovation effort in 2022.

Did You Know? The course has a distinctive split-green detail: reporting on the renovation noted a dual green serving holes 12 and 16. It is a small architectural curiosity that rewards golfers who pay attention to how the routing uses one putting surface for two different approaches.
