St. James Bay Golf Club

Have played it several times. Always in great shape. The facility and grill excellent.

Truly enjoyed the day. My husband loved the course and said it was the most fun he has had playing bad golf. The course is in great shape.

Very precise shots are required. Greens moderately fast. Beautiful course. I will play it again.

A very good test of your golf game. One of the most beautiful courses I have played. Staff was wonderful. Pricey, so look for deals....maybe they will reduce prices in the future and offer half price senior rates.....

One of the best and most challenging courses I have ever played. Excellent facilities, great staff, and a beautiful course layout. Everything was in great condition except for the greens but that was only because it appeared that they had been recently aerated and overseeded. However they still rolled true. Will definitely be returning to play this course again.

Always enjoy rounds at St. James Bay when visiting locally. Beautiful course, always well-maintained and professionally run. Bring lots of balls -- it is fairly tight with lots of water! GPS on cart is very helpful. A hidden gem!

We played after they aerate and top dress the green.
It was impossible to have your ball hold it's line. But the course is great and worth the trip when the green are in top shape.

Very nice challenging course. The only reason the rating is 4 stars instead of 5 stars for conditions is that they had just aerated the greens. You do need to be able to get off the tee as many holes require a carry.

This was my first time playing St. James and I was impressed. I thought it was a great, challenging layout. The only down side to my visit was that the greens had recently been aerated so putting and saving strokes was pretty difficult. Not a long course but you definitely need to be able to place shots to set up your next one. I would never pay the full price of the green fee for this course, but as long as Golf Now keeps having these discounted prices, I will definitely play this course again.

What a wonderful challenging course. There is water and/or marsh on every hole. Plenty of bunkers as well. Greens were great. The course is not a monster as far a length is concerned but has enough to make it a challenge for anyone.

. We got up early and drove from Orlando and it was well worth the drive. The course was uncrowded, in great shape and the greens were fast and true. Each hole was unique and had a challenge which made the course fun to play. This was by far the best course we played on our 10 day golf trip thru Flordia.

What a beautiful course in the middle of no where. It was in such pristine condition. Wasn't too lady friendly with the carries and layups of the marsh areas. A 111 slope is way too low for the average woman. The pros could carry the marsh areas and maybe in warmer weather the average player could get over more of them. Wouldn't stop me from playing it again. Had beautiful views and the par 3's were fun. If I could think of a reason to return to this area, would definitely play again.

Course was in great shape. Very nice course design with just enough water to make it interesting and enough easy holes to make the golfer want to come back again & again!

Beautiful day in paradise and the course was in great shape. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a very challenging course with water and marshes. Bringing plenty of golf balls.

Played twice. Will play again in the spring. I highly recommend this course in every way, gorgeous, very friendly staff, good restaurant. Wish I had found it years ago. Been coming to the area for 13 years, Wild Wood was closed so came here. Will not be any where else but St. James in the future.

I was visiting Apalachicola, and had a chance to get 18 in. Few courses in the area to pick from. It was 38 miles to St James Bay and well worth it. The staff told me to know my distances, "think links style, but worse," and look out for bears.

Distances were critical. Too long or short and it was irrecoveravle hazards. Rolling fairways and greens are always tough. I learned to avoid short cuts and play the design, very quickly. The course was very well maintained and in great shape. The greens rolled true and quite fast.

In the end, I saw no bears. I also saw no other golfers, until I finished. However, I did see too many penalty strokes. It was golf at my pace and very relaxing, while enjoying true panhandle beauty. I recommend going out of your way to play it.

Very well maintained and a super challenge for accuracy, many balls needed.
Enjoyed the round immensely.

This is an excellent course. If you able to get a hot deal on GolfNow, it will be worth the price. It is a must to keep it in the short grass on this course

Play this course, Played from the blue tee, which fits my game, 240yd drives, you can use red is less and black if longer, but keep it in the fairway. Great layout, you will use most of the clubs in you bag, but tight layout. Tees and fairway were great, greens were just punched and sanded so putting was slow., but should be perfect in a couple of weeks

Bring extra balls! If it is out of bounds it gone forever.
