Rating 72.0

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.

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.

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.

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.
