Golf in Carrabelle

Carrabelle is a small community in Franklin County on the Forgotten Coast, in the Florida Panhandle's least-developed Gulf shoreline east of Apalachicola. Saint James Bay Golf Resort is the sole course here, in a part of the state where the oyster-and-fishing heritage, the undeveloped barrier islands, and the remote character of the Forgotten Coast create a distinctive setting. No hole-count data is in public records for the course. Franklin County is one of Florida's least populated counties, and the golf market here is sustained by the small permanent residential community and visitors drawn to the natural environment of the Big Bend coast, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Apalachicola Bay estuary system.
