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.

Nice atmosphere, not a course I would pay $100 to play again

Nice course, not extremely difficult. I think the premium price is because its in World Golf Village. Save your $$ and play somewhere more challenging for less $$

This was the last course on a vacation, and the least liked by my friend and myself. We played TPC TrevisoBay, Old Corkscrew, The Rookery at Marco, and Disney's Lake Buena Vista, all were less money, and more challenging and enjoyable

Course had just been aerated, but otherwise really enjoyed it

First time playing this course, and really enjoyed it. The greens and some fairways had just been aerated, but other than those areas the course was in great condition. It's a very playable course for amateurs and makes for some great scoring chances.

They had just punched the greens ten days earlier, so still a little bumpy. Gave reduced price coupon in recognition. Very nice place to play.

Not at this time

Played on Sat May 25. Greens were just pluged. 20 percent of the holes not filled with sand. Was not told when making tee time.

This course is always in great shape but right now it is not. Maybe three weeks from now it will fill out and be back in shape.

Greens roll true

Played the King and Bear late last year and had been looking forward to the Slammer. Fairways mowed tight and ball got very good roll. Greens in very good condition. Traps had adequate sand. Not as scenic as the King and Bear. Ok value with the discount. In my opinion, not worth the retail price.

Well trained staff & well maintained

The course @ 6132 yds.from blue and rated at 69.2/121 seems a little easy for 10/12 HDCP. The longest par 3 was 161 yds. I suggest some players move to the black tees at 6660 yds. For a more challenging round.
Range, towels amenities were good. They do have apples on #1 & 10, get them early. They do not replenish , we asked when barrel empty. Staff and cart guys helpful.
The course is definitely a resort layout, in better then good shape. Speed of play really slowed on the back 9, and we saw no Apparent reason for it. No GPS, which I prefer, they usually slow down play with players walking back and forth to look at the screen again. The sprinkler heads are so well defined with Front, middle & back you don't need it.
If you don't get to play well maintained courses much this is one to play, only on a deal. Hot Deal @ $79.00 was steep I thought. It's more in the $40/$50 range.

slow but great

This course is a resort course and pretty crowded, but definitely a great test and great value. It has well maintained greens and fairways and the staff and practice areas are top notch. The pace of play and wait off the tee will slow you down.

We had a great time at the Slammer and Squire. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the course was in great shape, and although the round was 5 hours, we still had a good time. I will be playing this course again.

If you are travelling to Florida put this course on your wish list.

I got a tee time as a single and was paired with a single and a twosome. When you arrive you are transported by shuttled to the pro shop. After checking in you have use of the range. It is all you would expect of a pro facility. Also there is a bar and grill above the pro shop with views of the course, range and the Hall of Fame. We had a 2:05 tee time following a 1:30 shotgun start on 1-12. We did not have to wait after the third hole and were not pushed until a twosome caught up to us on the16th. The greens were transitioning from winter rye to Bermuda so you could see some brown in the grain. This did not effect the roll of the ball. These were the best greens I have ever played. The condition of the fairways, ruff and traps were just as good as it gets. The course wanders through a natural setting with only a few holes near any buildings. At time you have views of the WGV and The Hall of Fame. bring a camera.

An excellent course

This is a great golf course. First time I've played here, but I'll be back. It was in excellent condition. Grass growing everywhere. No bare spots. Greens in excellent condition also. Also it's not surrounded by houses or condos. It just sits out there among the trees and lakes. It's a natural looking setting.
