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.

Never a disappointment; beautifully maintained

Took advantage of a free Golf Now Rewards deal and played the course with two gentlemen from "across the pond". As always, this course is meticulously maintained and just enough of a challenge to keep the game interesting. Take advantage of the iced apples in the barrel on Hole 1 and 10.

Great service.

The course is fun and fair. They had punched the greens and tee boxes recently and did not include this information in an aeration alert on GolfNow. I think the courses should be put on notice when this happens as it is unfair to those of us who use the service. Otherwise, no problems. Beautiful course.

Fun layout

Enjoyed the layout. The course had been aerated 2 weeks before which I knew. Obviously greens were not in normal shape. Will play again. Like the chilled apples after 9 holes. Awesome practice facility. Would not pay full price to play....worth playing for the Golf Now discounted pm price.

Beautiful course. No houses on the course which is a huge plus for me.

I golfed by myself and the respected the fact I didn't want to be paired up. They let me go out as a single and up until the 16th hole I played alone. Great course for sure and if you get it for under $80 it's totally worth the $$$$.

Very noisy

Course is very close to Interstate 95, at times it felt like you were playing in the breakdown lane. Workers on the course had no consideration for the players.

Course was in fantastic condition and the staff was great.

Fairways were in pristine shape, rough was long but playable and sand traps and bunkers were in very good condition. the greens were in very good shape and played fairly fast but not out of control for the average golfer. We played as a twosome with no one holding us up in front or pushing us from behind. Amenities included red delicious apples in ice water at number 1 and 10 tees, and wet iced towels on holes 7 and 15 that helped lower the temperature considerably. Outstanding service.

Great course

Great course , awesome layout I will say the greens are a bit hard and bumpy but they will be back. Expensive though. They need to come down on the price for locals. Locals can play other courses that are better or equal for a much better price. Nonetheless it's a fun course to play.

Nothing Special

It was a fun day, however, I don't plan on returning any time soon. There is nothing that sets this course apart from others closer to my home. The cost is out of line line with a facility of this quality. Like everything else in St. Augustine, it is old and over priced. The employees are fantastic and are the best suprise about the club. Cold, delicious apples await you on the first & tenth tee box. Now that is a great touch!

Nice, but not quite what I expected

Very nice course but I wouldnt call it (Pristine), the staff was super friendly, but the greens just were not what we expected. You could tell that the greens had been punched at least a month prior and they had still had not fully recovered from it. They were bumpy and you could still see some holes with sand in them, there were however very few bare spots on the greens. The fairways were all in good shape and the bunkers were about 50/50, some were soft (like they should be) and others were like concrete. But a 5 Star to the staff, they were super friendly. We actually arrived about 2 hours early and the starter told us he had an opening in about 15 minutes and that we could go ahead and go out if we wanted to, and since this is Florida we took it since there is always a chance of rain in the afternoon. I cant wait to go play King and the Bear next.

Very interesting course!

We were met promptly in the parking lot & had assistance from that point until we were delivered back to our car after our round. The course played well even though it is still recovering from overseeding the greens. The course is challenging for me but the holes are very interesting. Oh, yes, I love the apples at #1 & #10 tees.
