St. James Bay Golf Club

St. James Bay Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Carrabelle measuring 6,730 yards at premium pricing, set on a peninsula along the Apalachicola Bay and St. George Sound on Florida’s Forgotten Coast. The layout integrates the coastal setting with tidal marshes and the natural character of the Gulf coast’s less-developed eastern Panhandle, offering a distinct alternative to the resort-oriented courses farther west. A driving range is on site.

Carrabelle is a small fishing community in Franklin County, making St. James Bay one of the most isolated premium golf courses in Florida. The course serves as a destination track for golfers willing to travel to this remote part of the Panhandle, where the combination of coastal scenery and quality layout justifies the premium pricing. Franklin County’s tourism profile centers around nature-based activities rather than resort development, giving St. James Bay a distinctly different feel from the Destin and Panama City Beach corridors.
