Marcus Pointe
Marcus Pointe Golf Club: On the northern outskirts of Pensacola, a couple of miles south of I-10, Marcus Pointe provides a pleasant and challenging golf outing. Weaving through a residential development, the holes are usually laid out in pairs, which helps to maintain a pleasantly natural balance to proceedings, with unobtrusive housing flanking only one side of some holes.
On the flatter front-nine, oaks and pines lightly line the way. Attractive mounding also defines the gently rolling fairways. A significant downhill drop at the par-4 10th signals greater elevation changes on the back-nine. Holes 11 thru' 14 are played on the other side of Marcus Bayou, an offshoot from nearby Crescent Lake, which gets the more undulating and water-defended back-nine off to a pleasing start.
The juxtaposition of discreet housing on one side of several holes and attractive woodland on the other is a frequent feature of the layout.The nicely doglegging, gentle climb of the closing par-4 18th provides for a strong finish, although now with a backdrop of three houses rather than a picturesque stand of trees.
A solid if not outstanding collection of par-3s provide a good challenge, although only the 13th brings water into play.
With its mix of straightaway and doglegging holes, some pleasant elevation changes on the back-nine and a mix of housing and woodland beyond the course, Marcus Pointe is an attractive layout, and one that throws down a good challenge for your allround game.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

Nearby Pensacola is the westernmost city on Florida's Panhandle, and was the first mainland North American settlement to be developed by the Spanish. It is sometimes referred to as the "The City of Five Flags," recognising the fact that five different countries have flown their flags over the city in its long history: namely, Spain (Castile), France, Great Britain, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
