"This place was awesome! Definitely headed back! By the way the restaurant Crooked River Grill is incredible!!!!! Great food did not have one bad meal! Staff very nice beautiful Pro Shop in the green ! Can’t wait to go back!"

"We just discovered St. James Bay. What a fantastic place to stay in the middle of nowhere. Just kidding but you will not find a nicer place for many miles! We choose one of the new golf villas. It was a large room with a queen bed, nice bathroom, minimal kitchenette, laundry room and a nice seating area to watch the TV. This is now on our list. Anytime we travel to the forgotten Coast."

"Great girls golf trip! Looking forward to next year. Course was challenging and unique and great shape. Saw lots of wildlife including a rare white squirrel! Staff was nice and food was great. We took a day trip to Apalochicola (great seafood at The Gibson Inn)/cute shops) and St. George Island - Patty’s for drinks and music, lighthouse, and saw amazing sunset on the beach!"

"We visited St. James Bay with 3 other couples and had an absolutely amazing time. Stayed in the golf villas, which were great!! The meals at the restaurant were delicious. It was nice that once we arrived we didn't need to get back in our car until we were ready to leave. The staff was very friendly and welcoming!! We will be back!!"

"Our family - me, my son, granddaughter, and her boyfriend - had a great weekend at the St. James Bay Resort. Enjoyed the golf course -- yes, the course is very difficult and really tested us. But it was an experience in golf which we can talk about for a long time. The restaurant is outstanding - the food was great across the board; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our three-bedroom condo was excellent. Coach is great in the pro shop. He took time to tell us how to play the golf course, the holes to be careful - and the alligators. Even warned us about the bears at night by the condo. And he quickly rescued us when we had a golf cart problem on the course. Beth Parr ("Parr" for the course?) capped it off. As the date approached, Beth and I traded phone calls (even gave me her cell phone number); she made sure I knew what to do when we got to St. James Bay. While we were there, she was outstanding; laughed with us, joked with us; friendly and helpful at all times - the perfect hostess (keep her on the job). Thanks for a great weekend."
