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.

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.
A hard course.
Definitely thought for the price range was included. Not a bad place to play unless you are good. This was a hard course.
St James
Beautiful course, alot of water and obstacles, so staying in the fairway is a must. I will definitely be back
Fun/Challenging Course - Friendly Staff
Excellent - Challenging course that forces you to hit straight and play smart. Very nice layout and beautiful setting.
Staff was excellent and the Starter provided some nice course tips before we got started.
Thank you.
Nice golfing experience .
The course was in great shape, particularly the greens. Saint James Bay is a very tight course and when you’re off the fairway, your ball is gone! Very well-maintained. On GolfNow, it was a very good value for the money.
Challenging but fun course!
Make sure you bring a lot of balls. Very tough but a nice challenge for the above average golfer. Overall very nice and in great condition.
Not a scam
The previous review was posted in haste. Pro shop is not running a scam, was simply human error. The staff is VERY nice and accommodating.
Pro Shop Scam
This course is part of Golf Now, and we booked a few rounds, at GN pricing. Each time we went in the shop to check in we were told they did not get the GN reservation even though it went through on our end….instead we were charged $20 - $25 more per person than the GN price. It appears to be a scam they are running so beware.
Friendly staff, great layout and value
Always enjoy the challenge of this course. Some of the tee boxes and greens could use some detailing but doesn't detract from the game at all. Especially if you're scrambling a lot. Might have to keep the driver in the bag if you're having trouble keeping it straight!
