Two things to know: 1) this is a great golf course when it…read moreis in good shape. Fair hole designs, good tee options, lots of water and trees, tough fast greens 2) In the Winter/Spring of 2026 almost all the greens died. They are currently unplayable for 80% of their total surfaces. I trust that by the end of the summer they will be back in shape. But for now, just know what you are getting in to. They aren't offering discounts but should. Other than that. The fairways, tee boxes and sand traps are all in great shape (May-June 2026). They have a nice driving range and two practice greens. You can get a complimentary small bag of balls with your round which is just enough to warm up. The range is OK, but you can only hit off mats and cannot use driver or fairway woods. The staff is friendly. Would be nice to have more than one water station on the course but you can fill up your jug before and at the turn just inside the clubhouse. If the greens recover, I'll come back and update this to 4 star review, but not right now.

The greens are horrible. The staff is great…read more Fairways are not terrible. just tough to pay full price when putting isn't much of an option.

We had fun playing as a family of 6, but at $18 a person, it was pretty expensive for us to play 18…read morepretty simple holes. The biggest problem was the condition of the course for the price. There were a ton of leaves and pine cones all over the course that would constantly affect the roll of the ball. We asked about the condition of the course, and they said that they blew it off and cleaned it at 4 o clock. We golfed at 6 PM... there's no way that the course got that messy with leaves and pine cones over the span of 2 hours. The workers were clearly lying to us. The big thing they use to market is you win $50 for a hole in 1 on hole 18, but on both courses, it's a very long blind shot, unlike the others holes on the course, and you are very unlikely to hit it. It's fun for the family, but if you're looking for the best mini golf experience for the price, I'd recommend somewhere else like Coconut Creek.

I thought I sort of knew what I was doing and he made me realize that I did not . Within one hour of him training one on one I was hitting the ball better already I'm excited to go back home now to beat my friend .

Do NOT rent Villa 1911 at Edgewater from Khushbu Patel…read more This was by far one of the worst rental experiences we've had. We arrived around midnight to a hot, uncomfortable unit -- the A/C was clearly struggling to work properly. We informed the host, Khushbu Patel, right away. At first, she seemed receptive, but that quickly shifted. She later accused us of causing the A/C problem by leaving doors and windows open -- which was absolutely false. The windows in the unit don't even open, and we were extremely careful to keep everything closed. Things got worse. We were told by the host to vacate the property on Saturday evening around 7 PM, and we did exactly that. I even followed up with a message and a phone call to confirm we had left. Despite this, the host later accused us of staying the second night -- which was entirely untrue. I had clear evidence of our departure, but the host continued to make false claims. This experience was stressful, disappointing, and handled with a total lack of professionalism. I would strongly advise anyone considering this unit to look elsewhere. There are plenty of places at Edgewater that offer a far better experience -- and respectful, honest hosts.

Played 18 holes here June 6. Friday 320 tee time…read more We arrived for our round and were greeted by friendly staff that took the time to explain the course to us with great detail. Facility is very well kept range is nice cart paths are nice tee boxes nice. Course was absolutely amazing. Each hole feels like you are completely secluded and in the middle of nowhere. Lots of strategy here not a driver everywhere place. The course wasn't particularly busy today, but it was probably the only round of golf I've ever played where I only saw one other group while playing. Our group of three scrambled and had a fantastic time enjoying the day and taking our time. 5 stars we will be coming back. Maybe with a few extra sleeves of balls next time!

I stayed in a villa at St. James Bay Golf and Pickleball Resort this weekend, and it was…read morephenomenal!!! For starters, the location itself is beautiful, conveniently located next to the coast, minutes away from convenience stores, and very well kept and updated overall. The villa that I stayed in was fully remodeled and refreshed, equipped with everything you could possibly need for both a short-term and long-term stay. Living room with smart TV, pull-out couch, kitchenette, spacious laundry room, spacious bathroom with a walk-in closet and beautiful tile shower, desk space, nightstands with well-sized drawers, and a more than comfortable bed. The room has good central heating and cooling, two remote-controlled fans, and an entry code lock so you can't lose a room key! If you're resting for the day or afternoon, many of the villas come with cute patio chairs too. Everything at the resort is minutes away- the pro shop, driving range, putting green, children's playground, pool, fitness room, pickleball courts, free bike rentals, the parking, and of course, the first hole of their outstanding golf course. When I entered the pro shop for check-in, Lisa Grundlock (the lodging manager), Jason Weslager (the Marketing Director), as well as a few other staff members, were unequivocally polite, welcoming, and cheerful. I received a full, detailed tour from Jason and was offered assistance with anything I may need. The driving range and golf course were extremely well-maintained. At the driving range, the golf hitting mats didn't have any uneven blemishes (of course, regular weathering), the water cooler always had fresh cold water with plenty of cups, and each teeing area was very state-of-the-art. Additionally, for those not playing or simply wanting to take a break, there were nice benches behind the teeing areas. When I went to get my golf cart the process was clean and simple. When I got the cart it truly felt brand new. Each cart is equipped with usb ports, a plethora of cup holders, ball holders, tee holders, and other extra spots for phones, wallets, etc. Each golf cart also had touch screen monitors that offered tools such as the course map (with distances), a digital scorecard, Bluetooth music (and radio), a weather radar, and so much more. The course itself was the most beautiful course I had ever played on. It had so much natural beauty, nicely paved roads for golf carts, well-maintained teeing grounds, and a good amount of ball cleaning and water cooler stations. Each hole was also truly unique; it didn't feel like I was "repeating holes." There was a good balance of holes with and without water, some with swamp land, sand pits, hills, and everything in between. There was one instance where the people behind me caught up, and I let them play through, but they were extremely polite. Overall, being on that course felt like I was one with nature. I passed homes here and there, but they were so secluded it wasn't bothersome at all. It was also very quiet and serene. On my last night of staying at the resort, I went to the Crooked River Grill. At first, when I got there, it was busy because they were having a live music night, but even with that, the waitresses were extremely quick and accommodating. By no means were they rude, impatient, or seeming like they were "in a rush." There were a few families, one even celebrating a birthday. Outside, they also had a karaoke session, which looked like a lot of fun. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and "Mermaid Water" Drink, which were amazing!! At one point I realized one of my blinds was missing (they were in the process of putting new ones in), but before I was able to ask someone if they could fix it, they already sent a handyman out to put a new set in. Even the handyman was polite, quick, and apologetic. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to play a game of pickleball or go to the fitness center, and it was a bit on the cooler side, so the pool didn't seem very appealing to me; however, I definitely plan to make another trip back to check those out. For those who may be concerned about fitting in or being treated negatively, I myself am a younger mixed-race college student, and I can't think of one uncomfortable moment or negative thing to say. Even being new to playing golf again, everyone was so nice and accepting of how I played (being that I needed a refresher), and didn't treat me differently or give me any "bad looks." Even my dog, who is a lab-pitbull mix, didn't get any negative looks or comments. We were both accommodated and treated just as equally as anyone else. Not to mention, it really blew my mind how dog-friendly the resort itself really was, too. Before I even made it to the pro shop to check in, a man playing on the putting green had a dog who instantly became friends with my Denali. There's dog poop bag stations every so often as well. Overall my trip was amazing and I would do it 10x over. Thank you St. James Bay Golf!!
