ST. JOSEPHS BAY COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Port St. Joe, FL, USA
Designed by Bill Amick


St. Josephs Bay Country Club sits along the Florida Panhandle coast in Port St. Joe, a small Gulf community roughly midway between Panama City and Apalachosa. Bill Amick designed the course, which opened in the 1960s during a period when Florida's northwest coast saw modest residential and golf development. Amick, a regional architect active across the Southeast during the mid-twentieth century, worked primarily on accessible daily-fee and community courses rather than high-profile resort layouts.
The routing occupies relatively flat terrain typical of coastal northwest Florida, with holes moving through stands of pine and palmetto. The proximity to St. Joseph Bay and the Gulf of Mexico means the course experiences steady coastal breezes, particularly in the afternoon, which can influence club selection and shot strategy. Water features appear on several holes, and the sandy soil provides good drainage year-round, a practical consideration in a region that receives substantial summer rainfall.
St. Josephs Bay serves primarily as a local club for residents and seasonal visitors to the Port St. Joe area. The course offers straightforward golf without severe elevation change or dramatic design features, reflecting both the natural landscape and the era in which it was built. The club functions as a gathering point for the community, with a clubhouse that hosts social events and casual dining typical of smaller Florida Panhandle golf facilities.
