St James is a course where I check any ego I might have at the 1st tee box. Let's just call it tactical. You'll probably use your driver about half the time and your hybrids a lot.
Plan on losing a pretty fair amount of balls-- not the time for the new Pro VIs, but rather the dingy ones in the bottom of the bag. A couple of other tips -- drink a lot of water ( it gets hot); take bug spray (which you might need); and be careful around the water hazards (alligators)
Having said all that, you need to simply embrace the course for what it is. One that is very well maintained, not crowded, and not like most of the courses many of us play. St James Bay and Franklin County is what's left of the "real Florida"
