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.

Pleased again, mostly

The course was in great shape, greens were lightning fast and true, fairways were well trimmed and thr rough was even and true hole over hole. The driving range and practice facilities were in top condition and the pro shop staff was courteous and accommodating. The experience was truly enjoyable with the exception being the starter who was gruff and less than polite. Perhaps it was too early for him and he needed coffee but where the rounds are over $100 everyone should be a pro all the time.

I'll play again at Slammer and Squire because the course is great and it makes the golf worth the cost. Everyone else from the attendant to the pro shop was top notch.

Good Course, Fair Challenge.

Course was a fair test and in good shape. Obviously paying a premium for its location but had a hot deal that made it worthwhile. Regular price of $109 way too much for this course or King and Bear for $129. would recommend playing either of the two courses at World Golf Village but only as a hot deal. Not worth standard cost of $100+.

Can't expect more

Quality course in near perfect condition. Greens were punched about 2-3 weeks ago, but have recovered well. The fairways are pretty wide, but plenty of trouble on the course. I will be back.

Great amenities and very good condition

The condition of the course was very good. Would have rated it excellent but the greens were a few days away from recovering from a June punch. So only a couple were not rolling true. We enjoyed the course and the friendly staff. We will play again this week.

Great course

Ok, so the course is awesome - one of my favorites to play. Nice wide fairways on most holes, nice variety of holes.

The staff however was mediocre at best - when I arrived there was no one at the bag drop which is fine for me I don't mind walking my bag. I get to the clubhouse and have to seek someone out to put my bag on a cart (who wasn't very polite at all). I check in - get my ticket - go to the range then the putting green. After watching a few groups tee off I check with the "starter" to see where I stand - he doesn't even have my down on his last and he claims that the other 3 people I was paired off 'already went ahead and teed of without letting him know.' So I'm thinking great - why are you here then? Meanwhile a twosome had just teed off right in front of me. So I ask him why I wasn't with them? He can't answer. Comes back and says "why don't you go ahead and join them?" So I skip the first hole - drive to the green and let the group know I'm joining them. Rude. The people I played with were fun though so that made it better. For a 'resort course' at the World Golf Hall of Fame they really need to step up their game.

Can't wait to go back

The course was in great shape. The greens had just been punched about a week ago maybe week and a half but they were almost fully grown in. The layouts was really fun compared to king and bear. I felt slammer and squire was easier to score on. Defiantly wanna go back soon!

Very good design and playable for all skill levels.

S&S is a very good course in excellent condition. Greens were recently aerified but were good enough. Good golf course from the back tees for better players but still fair for women and shorter hitters. I've played the course before and will be back again when I'm on vacation in the area.

Recently Aerated Greens

Flat, wide, open fairways with the occasional bunker or water hazard. The challenge would normally be found in the very undulating greens. They had been aerated about 2 weeks ago so were slow and bumpy. Free apples on #1 and #10 tee. Got caught in an early thunderstorm about 1230 and had to hide under the bridge between 15 and 16. There was no warning about the aerated greens on golfnow. I would have been quite unhappy if I had paid full price but could not really complain since I got a hot deal. Also free range balls.

Great Loop but was recently aerated.

The Course was great and even though the greens were recently aerated they putted fairly true. The rest of the course was in mint condition and I would recommend visiting the World Golf Hall of Fame along with playing the Slammer & Squire.

Beautiful flow from tee to green.

In the words of my countryman, Gary Player; "If you love golf, you got to go". I had a wonderful experience on this golf course, it is a good challenge but yet forgiving. Will go back any day.

Airified

Had played course in the past and couldn't wait to play again. Booked our tee time a month in advance. However, the course was aerated a week prior to our round and no one advised us. We were quite disappointed.
