Paint dryers faster

First of all they take my money send our foursome to the starter. Starter does have a listed. Says they are giving up golf now and it’s all messed up. Finally get on the course and it’s backed up. Waited from the first tee on. -8 holes in 5 1/2 hours. Never again.

Course is great especially the greens

The course is easy to get tee times. Greens are especially good since being redone in last 6-8 months. Staff members are friendly. Practice range has sand chipping driving and putting areas. Great value and they offer clinics twice a week staffed with knowledgeable instructors. Great place to learn, play or just practice…

Great Place to Play

I always enjoy my rounds at St. James.The Staff always remember me and if you play early you can finish in less than 4 hours. Greens renovation made the course the best value around. fairways are a little tight but manageable.

First Time Playing

First course played on our Florida vacation

The sign in, cart people, and starter were all pleasant and helpful. We used the nice practice areas. We found our way around the course with no problems. Play could have been quicker even with the wind. The fairways were hard and fast. They could use some work while the greens were excellent. Bottom line we have put this course on our Florida list of places to play. I also enjoyed an excellent ham and cheese sandwich afterwards.

Good deal

This was only the 2nd time I played the course. It's a good challenge for most golfers depending on the tees you play. The holes have a good mix of lengths and the fairways are quite generous which helps in the Florida winds. The greens could be a bit faster but were in OK shape.
