The Champion Turf Club at St. James

Slow pace of play, even in the afternoon. Employee in clubhouse lied about how busy it was, saying “it’s wide open and you should have no problem,” when In reality there were multiple groups of 2-4 that just teed off. Frankly, many golfers I’ve encountered there are extremely novice and have no etiquette, won’t let you pass even on par 3’s. Won’t be going back unless it’s a last resort.

Not much in the way of water or trees to impede shots. This is definitely an ideal place for higher handicaps hoping to post their best scores. It’s still fun and the staff is great.

Our tee time was 7:45. We arrived at first tee at 7:40 to find there was no starter and there were two foursomes that Said they had 7:30 tee times. They were waiting to tee off behind a twosome that was waiting to tee off. We joined the twosome and the course was so backed up it took five hours to play 18 holes. Way to long and especially in the heat of south Florida!

They aerated greens a few weeks ago they’re almost back to normal no one on the course because variation show played fast shot 3938 play about three times a week. If you have not played this course in a few years I would recommend it to anyone it’s in excellent condition course lays out very well wide fairways nice greens greens .And for the money couldn’t beat it thanks GolfNow.

Other than the fact that the greens were just aerated and sanded, condition was reasonably well. Generous fairways, dry bunkers. Water and restrooms on front and back. Never went inside clubhouse.

Well maintained course with fast and true greens. Friendly and helpful staff.

Played around 11. Arrived very early for my Tee Time so I grabbed some range balls to loosen up. The pro shop employee told me it is pretty quiet whenever you're ready to go feel free which was awesome. Practice facilities were good. Course is very good. It is wide open so you don't lose a ton of balls. Tees are ok, fairways were good and greens were wonderful. This course is for everyone. It is extremely fair, in great condition and absolutely can't beat the price. If you are thinking of playing here you must do so. Will absolutely play here again soon. Highly recommended!!!!

It's nice to go to a golf course & get everything you pay for. Nice layout & fast/consistant greens, decent pace of play, courteous staff, & great food & drinks. I play here quite often & highly recommend it. It's a fun, challenging course.

5 Star outing. I highly recommend this course.. I went out as a single and the flow was relatively smooth with the exception of 1 beginer foursome. It appears as though this might have been their first time EVER playing golf. This group was slowing the pace of play for 3 groups behind them. I'm not a complainer about pace of play, these guys paid to play just like I did. They should be able to enjoy their round. I simply skipped the 1st par three and went ahead of them. It was smooth sailing from there on.

Great greens, fairways and subpar weather still = Great Golf!!

From the white tees, this is a pretty easy course. Not a criticism, just stating a "fact." Other than #10, every hole is a birdie opportunity, which makes for a fun round. Several short par 5s (watch out for the hidden ponds on the back nine) are particularly birdie-able. From the tee, the course often appears tighter than it actually is. I hit a few wayward drives I thought would be in trouble only to find my ball in good position. That makes for a largely stress-free round, and if you are playing well, you can shoot a low score. Really enjoyed my round here. Tee-to-green conditions are probably only a 2.5, but the greens are a 4.5 (save for #2, which is healing from some damage). If you are a public-course golfer and don't need perfectly-manicured fairways and tees, you will have fun.

I live in the area and have played this course a dozen times. You simply cannot beat the price for the quality of this course. A lot of fun holes with some challenging ones as well. Fairways and greens are always in good shape. Sometimes the pace of play is a little slow but we always get our round in a decent time. This is my go to course no doubt.

We choose this course for our last golf outing for this year, have to head home early next week and head for Canada. We have played this course several times over the winter.

We have played it with our usual couples, and our own men’s day. Never disappointed with this golf course.

Good value. Greens have nicely recovered from earlier maintenance damage. Played in 3:25
