St James Bay Golf Resort

Commune with Nature

Watch herons, osprey, and kites take flight against the edges of the Apalachicola National Forest, as you play a course within an Audubon Signature Sanctuary. The St James Bay Golf Resort course was designed by Robert Walker in this wildly seductive setting, with lush fairways, undulating greens, and charming bridges that crisscross marshes. Spot a tortoise or a white-tailed deer, and hone your game in this naturally challenging playground for golfers.
