Shalimar Pointe
Golf and Country Club
Also situated on the banks of Choctawhatchee Bay, Shalimar Pointe
Golf and Country Club boasts 18 holes of Finger-Dye acclaim. Bordered by rolling white
dunes and dense hammocks of pine, oak and magnolia, the course blends beauty with the
beast. Heralded by Links magazine as having "Two of the Hardest Holes on the Emerald
Coast," the 6,765-yard (6,156m) course highlights are undoubtedly the famed 11th and
17th holes. Requiring a 149-yard (136m) drive from an elevated and forbidding water
hazard, the 11th hole is banked by a tough grass bunker and lake to the right, and a
drastic downslope -- some swear it's a cliff -- to the left.
If that is not enough, an unforgiving dogleg left awaits at the
par-4, 455-yard (414m) 17th hole. With a stretch of sand and heavy woods to the left of
the tee, an immense tree on the inside corner of the dogleg, and a deep grass pit to the
right and lake to the left of the pine-bordered green -- the hole redefines navigational
know-how.
