World Golf Village is home to 36 challenging holes of championship golf. The Slammer & Squire Course is named after the two World Golf Hall of Fame legends, Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, who served as consultants to the course's designer, Bobby Weed. The golf course is known for its tricky par-3 holes and the carefully preserved beauty of the landscape. Its traditional layout meanders through native flatwoods and hardwood hammocks, running alongside wetland preserves and a wildlife habitat. The scenic Slammer & Squire Course features contoured greens and gently rolling, generous fairways. There is also an abundance of water on the golf course in the forms of lakes and marshes.

Underwhelmed for the cost

The course is decent.condition for March -. greens were fine.. Found it difficult to see the greens and they have many sharp edges - not clear where should miss on each hole.

Surprised there was no GPS on the comfy cart but found out after that there was an app. Not interested in using a phone and another app when i playing - always other distractions..

We got a long briefing before hitting off about irrelevant stuff and no mention of app- despite being first time players. Asked the starter how the course was playing to determine appropriate yardage. He said soft and then the course was playing hard and fast.. Sigh

We had a few holes free ahead of us on tee-off but quickly caught up on 3rd hole and waited all day. Two groups on the tee..etc Over 4.30 hours despite fsst start

Do not appreciate the 3 pct credit card fee that is not advertised when you book.

Why not make it 10 pct ??

Will not be back

Nice but overpriced.

While this is a nice and challenging golf course, the price tag does not match. When this was attached to the world golf hall of fame I could understand tourist pricing, but now you have golf course without GPS on the carts that is just way higher priced than courses of equal quality in the area.

Must Play

Beautiful Course in excellent condition. Staff was very friendly and the ride back to your car was very nice. Would have given 5 stars, but I got charged 64 dollars through Golf Now and then I still had to pay another 75 dollars when I checked in. Golf now shoed it at 79 plus tax for a foursome. You do the math

Great shape for winter

I know - winter isn’t the same here but greens were green and even some green in the fairways compared to all the brown courses around right now. It has a great practice area and the staff does a good job. Enjoyed the day even thought it was cold to me! 55 degrees and windy. Thanks

Nice course, no Marshall.

The course was in great shape. The greens were great (very quick). However, as single player, it took me 3.5 hours. There was no Marshall to move anyone along, which resulted in extremely slow play. For the price, you’d expect a little more attention to detail on the whole round, but it was still a nice course when actually speaking of the golf.

WET!!!

This must be Aquaman’s home course. Everything is wet. Cart path only for the entire course. On top of that, only members are allowed to walk, so don’t bring a push cart and expect to be able to use it. My shoes were soaked after 3 holes. Very disappointing for the price. I know we’ve had a little rain recently, but this is Florida where it rains almost every day. If you decide to play here, remember to bring a bathing suit and 3 pairs of golf shoes, you’ll need them.
