St. James Bay Golf Club

Staff was upset we used Golfnow instead of paying them directly. They would not let us tee off early even though they had many empty tee times. They treated us like second class citizens because we used Golfnow. All the staff, even cart guys knew to shun the 11:30 tee time!

Bring plenty of your inexpensive “water” balls. Challenging off the tees to clear the native vegetation. Natural beauty and wildlife Course well maintained. Personnel very friendly and helpful. Full size range and nice rentals clubs.

Great Layout, beautiful scenery, well manicured. Only negative was the greens being a little rough, but could be due to time of year and a recent aerification.

Beautiful course, very challenging! Restaurant was very good and reasonable!!! Will definitely play again!

Staff was very friendly and nice. Course had a challenging layout and was in great shape. Tight driving course, so after a few lost Titleist Pro V1's, I moved to my used collection of assorted balls.

Course was in great shape. The greens had recently been sanded but were still plenty fast and rolled true. Staff was excellent as always.

Course was in wonderful, early spring condition.

Staff working on the course were friendly and professional. Pace was very good.

I could play here every day and be very happy. The course is well maintained and reasonably priced. It is remotely located and caters mainly to vacationers. A lot of forced carries so not a very good place for short hitters.

Nice course, especially for lower handicappers. LOTS of opportunities to lose shots, balls.

Eevery year we go to west florida to the beach. I have played there every year. Very nice, interesting course. Always in great shape!

Just a great course hidden in Franklin county. If I lived close by it would be my home course.

Having played several courses in this area I was very surprised by the condition of this little gem. Greens, bunkers, fairways, everything was above par. Don't let the yardage fool you, this is a true second shot layout. I enjoyed this course so much I booked a second round the following day. This will be the first of many rounds on this course. PS. friendliest staff I have ever encountered, they where great.

This is the slow season on the coast and I got a great deal on golf now for 25.00. What a deal for this golf course. The course is built in a sanctuary and is in pristine condition. From the back tees it is only 6,600 yds. but the course is tight and you have to hit the ball straight. They have GPS and you need to use it because of some of the shots. Overall a great experience.

Fun course, definitely worth the play. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course is extreme target golf, with lots of forced carries-the excellent in-cart GPS was essential for helping first timers on the course. Plan on an entire dozen balls unless you are extremely accurate.

My wife and I enjoyed our afternoon at St. James. Be careful when playing. With all of the nature preserve carries make sure to play the appropriate tees or you'll get really frustrated and lose a lot of balls. The course was in great shape, especially considering they had aerated the greens less than a week ago. The course is very secluded but worth the trip. The club house and restaurant are well equipped and the staff is very friendly.

This is one of the finest courses I have ever played. It is quite challenging for the average golfer. But it so fun to play. The fairways are perfect, and the greens were very good, even though they had been recently sanded. I will certainly recommend it to others and will play it again whim I come back to this area.
