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.

Very slow

cart path only due to overseeding, and pace of play reduced because of it, led to a less than acceptable day of golf.

Excellent experience

The course was just over seeded, but the fairways were still nice and tight. The greens were like glass, lighting fast. The staff were all super nice. I had a great time. I still suck though.

Great experience

We had all day to find a way to kill some time before flying back home and decided to play this course, especially since golfnow provided a hot deal.
We even asked for maybe a move up in tee times to allow more time before flight and they more than happy to do that as a couple of groups canceled.
The course was in excellent shape and we both had some highlights to talk about.
The staff was extremely courteous and would definitely go back, if I had the opportunity again.

Worth every penny!

The course was in very good condition, the staff very friendly and helpful and I played on a perfect day. All the things a golfer hopes for every time we play.
I have played this track a dozen or more times and have been pleased each and every time. If I were to join a club again, it would be this one.

Great Course

I really like this course. Fun layout, some challenging par 3s. The greens were still recovering from being punched, but they were still pretty fast. Beautiful clubhouse! I will definitely play here again.

Great course, aerated greens

Third time in this course & it never disappoints! Great range, great staff, great time.

The course was aerated about 3 weeks ago & it looked like they just gave it a second sanding so it was a little bumpy. Though this was the case, it was still quite fast on the greens & it looks like it will be fully back in about 1 - 1/12 weeks time.

Would highly recommend for the price right now, very much worth it!

Very Wet

St. Augustine has gotten a lot of rain - course was playing 90 degree rule. Some bunkers washed out, pin positions haven't changed in awhile - all resulting from way to much rain. Wait a week or so before you play - it should dry out.

Beautiful Course

I have now played King & Bear and Slammer & Squire. Have to say both are above avg price and worth it. For my money, I actually liked S&S a little better. Course was in amazing shape considering the amount of rain and storms in the area. Fairways and greens rewarded good shots. Starter and staff were very friendly. Very enjoyable experience. I will be back.

This course has a very straightforward layout

The layout was very straight forward; by that I mean not tricked up. Only one or two doglegs on the course and fairly large greens. The fairways were also pretty forgiving with large bunkers. There was water on the course, but it did not really come into play. Just a nice, fun round of golf. You know Pete Dye was not in the area!

Excellent Hot Deal!!!

Finally playing the course for the 1st time since moving to the area a year ago. With so many great and cheap courses in the area I was reluctant to pay $89 for this place until Yesterday with a $37+ tax deal don't get me wrong Have fun there course was in good shape, Staff was the best part very friendly and helpful, green were rolling true and fairways in good conditions Also. Not a $89+ kind of course, but there's a Resort and Golf Hall Of Fame also its pure Branding!! No more than $60 for this course, one close by Way Better and Cheaper
