Good deal
This was only the 2nd time I played the course. It's a good challenge for most golfers depending on the tees you play. The holes have a good mix of lengths and the fairways are quite generous which helps in the Florida winds. The greens could be a bit faster but were in OK shape.

Beautiful day of golf
We are Snowbirds, and we were anxious to play Champions Turf Club at Saint James because we knew that they were redoing the greens in 2022. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the greens were in great shape, fast and true. A real value for $33. It was a beautiful day, and pace of play was slow on the front 9. When we made the turn, it was pretty obvious that we were going to run out of daylight before finishing the back 9. The starter went out of his way to offer us the chance to replay the front, rather than getting caught in the logjam on the back. We replayed the front in 90 minutes, and finished well before dark. That's typical of the folks at Saint James, they're always pleasant and helpful.
