Rating 72.7

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.

Great setting.

Great course, only unfortunate thing was the course was being overseeded and carts were on cart path only. Cart paths are about 20 to 40 yards off fairway so it was a long day with a lot of walking.

The course was in great shape.

Well let me state how professional World golf village was. On arrival found out Slammer and Squire course was cart path only. They in return allowed us to play the King and Bear course for no extra charge. We had a great time and the course was in super shape!

Hal of Fame Backdrop

The course is well maintained. The layout demands good shot making ability. Staff were freindly and the starter was extremely helpful explaining all the course features.
The only bad point was they were overseeding and it was cart paths only. Try the iced apples on 0ne and ten tee ....Great touch.

Golf now was wonderful. see comments below

I mistakenly booked the tee time twice. When I go confimations, I called Golfnow immediately and the personnel were just absolutely wonderful and courteous. They were able to cancel one tee time for me. What a great service to their customers.

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.
