St. James Bay Golf Club

It was a very pleasent experiance, However more then a fair share of hazzards which can not be played out of.

Very good golf for North Florida in the spring and excellent bird watching on every hole.

Our twosome have played this course in February for the last several years. It always plays tough for us. The weather was cold and windy, but the course was in excellent shape. The started provided us with great insight for holes we needed to be cautious on and "lay up" off the tee. Very enjoyable despite the weather!

Interesting layout. Not long or too tight, but it does require careful shot selection and strategy.

Couse is in great condition for early Feb.

Very interesting design. Played white tees. Several tough holes require long carry but usually a bail out area designed in. Good fairways, okay greens (fast even though recently over sanded). Lots of bunkers but they're in good shape. A very enjoyable course.

Very nice, extremely challenging course. You do need to be able to get off the tee as many holes require a carry. GPS in cart is very helpful. Bring lots of balls.

Stayed an hour away - have played and stayed there before...worth the drive. Immaculate and challenging course in good winter condition. Staff friendly especially considering Golf Now super discount. Some water holes and several tricky marsh areas crossing fairways - recommend lay ups. Hard to believe so nice for remote location - if in area or passing thru - play it!
Nice Condos and 2-4 golf modular cottages on site.

I love playing the course. It's always a great time and very challenging. Hit it straight or have plenty of balls. Go Play!

Great layout. Rewards accuracy, not distance. GPS helps you "think" your way around the course, would be very difficult without it. Beautiful lots with a lot of potential for RE investors!!!

This course is difficult for 25+ handicap female golfer. Lots of forced carries but beautiful.

Nice to find this course in an area that has very little golf nearby.

Might be closest course from St George Island - worth the drive

Great staff very friendly, very helpful, the course was immaculate and the GPS systems on the carts were dead on

Enjoyed my first time at this course. GPS is important to pay attention to. Course in good shape. Greens a little brown in spots. Outside staff were very good.

This is a great course in excellent condition. Pay attention to the GPS and bring all the balls you own, this course will take them. We had a great time.

Bring your A game to this challenging layout. Keep it in the fairways and you will do fine. Greens were challenging, but true. Believe your GPS for yardages. You will have to hit over waste areas on several holes, so overclub for safety sake.

I played this course twice while on vacation, once on Sunday and again on Friday. The course was in great shape! Pace of play was very good both days at just over 3 hours. The carts are equipped with GPS and even if you have your own, as I did, utilize the cart GPS to identify landing areas for your tee shots. There is lots of trouble out there. The second time I played I kept the driver in the bag for most of the round and shaved several strokes off my previous score. Avoid the bunkers. The sand is very soft and a ball hit into a bunker from any height is likely to plug. I will certainly play there again next year.

Course in excellent condition. Use of on cart gps is critical to have any chance of avoiding trouble. Strategy is required to score well, macho shots likely to result in lost balls.
Restaurant had excellent grouper.
Well worth effort required to get there.

This was the third time my son and I played St. James Bay and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Watch out for the Alligator in the lake on number 9! Definitely need to take the GPS advice on your cart to keep your ball in play.

Front nine has some tricky shots to keep in the fairway and the greens were fast - even though it was early (8:30am). Number 8 is a birdie hole if you come up from the right and stay dry.

Course was again very well maintained and we did not feel rushed or overcrowded. A real gem of a course tucked into the coast ... we always visit when vacationing. Worth the drive and the Grill has a great breaskfast.

I first played this course in February 2009 and fell in love with it. It is by far my favorite course in the tallahassee area. It is always in great condition and never busy but can be a little pricey. I suggest you look for a deal as it is well worth it.

The course itself is carved out of wetland and places a premium on accuracy off the tee. It's tight off the tee and seems as if every hole has a carry over marsh. If you can get over the fact that you will probably lose quite a bit of golf balls, you'll have a blast.
