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.

Course is Over Priced

No complaints about course condition or staff. The course was in good condition, but we played other courses nearby that were better. St Johns Country Club was the best course we played, and we payed less than half what we payed at WGV. I guess we payed for the name but will not do it again.

Disappointing Greens

The greens were very disappointing. To spend a $100 or more for 18 holes, the greens need to be in much better shape for early April in N. FLA!

Course is in great shape

Each hole offered a different look. The fairways are wide open as this is a Resort Course. The greens are difficult - multiple levels on each green, and the back of several greens slope away, so multiple shots at the pins rolled off the green. Greens are on 4 to 6 feet pedestals, so chips are critical. Overall , I had a great time. Fairways the greens are in very good condition.

Great layout, great staff, average condition

The Slammer and Squire course at The World Golf Village is a true resort course. They know how to keep you moving and get you through with a respectable four hour round on a pretty busy day. The staff is fantastic all the way around. The course itself is a fun resort style course with some great par threes. The greens were not in great shape with one of them even having repaired tire tracks on it but the fairways were solid. I can not complain about anything about this course and I would recommend it to friends. As a matter of fact since I am the trip planner for my group's buddy trips I will be adding this course to a Florida East Coast trip.

Good Day

The course and conditions were good and they should be for the high green fees. The attendants were very nice however at times it seemed we had little direction on we're to go. Overall it was a great experience for my son and I.

Seasonal dormant grass + difficult pin positions

Generally very fine conditions, layout make for interesting and challenging round for even above average golfer. Seasonal conditions and pin placements made round more difficult than normal.

Good day of golf!

This place is awesome! The stretch of holes 3 thru 8 are some of the prettiest holes anywhere on the planet! I live locally and have wanted to play this course since it opened. It was better than I expected! Worth the $$$$!!!

Enjoyable Resort Course

I enjoyed this course. It is a typical Florida course - lots of water and sand. The landing areas are generous and the trouble is obvious. Staff was great, and sent me out as a single on a slow Sunday morning - finished in under four hours with no problem. Would recommend as long as you're up for paying resort prices.
