About
Located in Carrabelle just minutes from the pristine white beaches of St. George Island and Cape San Blas, St. James Bay Resort boasts the only Audubon Signature Sanctuary golf course in the area. It's not an understatement to say that water is the course's most formidable feature. There are 15 lakes throughout the landscape that present a hazard on every hole. Towering pines and colorful flowers accent the scenic parkland as well. In addition to the natural hazards that have been seamlessly incorporated, bunkers were carefully added to strategic locations to make the course more challenging, but they still allow the landscape to truly shine. In addition to the golf course, St. James Bay offers a full practice facility with a driving range, a chipping green with a bunker, and two putting greens.

Love the layout
The course is always fun. Great Layout. Pace of play was very slow. Greens need some attention...poa annua needs to be sprayed on the greens! Range, Putting and.chipping areas were nice.
Challenging Layout
The layout is challenging, yet enjoyable. .A few tough holes. Better make sure you a decent driver, there is a lot of carry off the tee.
Great course and quite challenging
We loved the course even if we lost lots of balls. Unfortunate that the grass froze. It will all come back! Resort lile place. We will come back!!!!!
Really challenging course
Really nice, challenging, lost lots of balls. The GPS in the cart was extremely useful. Unfortunate that the grass had frozen recently. It will return soon to normal. We will come back.
Enjoyed this beautiful course! Dad loves the greens!
We enjoyed our round! My dad said that he loves the greens. They putt so true. Bring extra balls!
Great Course, Great Resort
Great course that demands accuracy and distance control. The staff was exceptional. The restaurant was great.
If you’re looking for a golf getaway that is a true picture of North Florida’s natural beauty, this is it!
Great day at St James Bay
Had a super time playing with the family over Thanksgiving. Course was in great shape and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend if you are in the area
SJB
Excellent course excellent location. New owners are pricing saint james, out of the market.
Amazing experience
From the friendly staff at st James bay golf club to the beautiful woodland views, we had a 10/10 experience and plan on coming back soon! Very well maintained course.
Visiting from PA
Great course. Have to hit golf shots. Lots of tight fairways. Not a wide open course. Very nice though. Numerous mid irons off the tee is required. Had to lay up. 15 handicap. Finished front with 43. Blew up on back with 47. Started double / triple on 10&11 then got it back together. Really liked the course. Conditions were good. Layout and vibe are awesome. Greens were a bit slow. Started told us they were gonna be. Kinda fuzzy is best way to describe. Course definitely makes ya think! Great place.
Good for a Hot Deal
Fairways and greens fine. Tee boxes terrible. Decent layout. Plays to target tee shots. Lots of 3-wood/2-hybrid tee shots.
