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.

Bucket List Course for Sure!

I haven't played in a course of this type of caliber in a long time. The course and facilities were world class. Very befitting with the World Golf Hall of Fame. I was truly amazed at how well kept the course was considering all the traffic it gets. The value was just right at roughly $100 a round, where you would be paying 6 times more than that at TPC Sawgrass. I was lucky to be paired up with a seasonal member who knew the course pretty well and gave me great tips on where to aim my shots. The course was absolutely gorgeous, with little to no residential housing around, making it seem like a true magical experience. The nature surrounding the course was breath taking, with tall pine trees surrounding the fairways, and beautiful features all around. The tees, fairways and especially the greens were pristine. 5 out of 5 stars no doubt. Can't wait to return and play the other course.

World Golf Village

Definitely be sure to stop in the Hall of Fame before or after your round. Very cool.

Shuttle service in the parking lot was convenient. Nice pro shop. Cart guys were helpful. Starter was typical grump. No biggie. Course conditions were pristine. Lay out was nice. Stuck behind a large group of golfers that didn’t seem to mind backing things up while they were carrying on and gathering together to analyze every shot. 5 hour round as a threesome… not a ranger in sight. Got off at sunset from our 1:30 tee time. Everything was closed down. Overall a good golf course.

Best course in Florida for the money

I have played well over 1000 rounds of golf across our great United States. The Slammer and Squire is the best course I have ever played for the $$ you pay - Bar none

Great Course, Great Round

At the World Golf Village you should expect no less. Challenging yet playable course with lots of water and sand. Hey, it's Florida! Great conditions throughout, although greens weren't 100% back from aeration a month ago. Great staff, starter, bev cart, etc. Only quibble was the group behind pressing us because they were playing from the very forward tees, then driving within a tire width of the greens.

Average course conditions because the greens had just been aerated. (Yet, they still charged full price).

Great Exerience

The course has an excellent layout and beautiful landscape. The greens were almost healed from being punched. I really enjoyed the round. I would like to see a hole layout on the card or on the cart.

Course was in good condition. Beautiful day in the 80's.

Some wind but just enough to keep it cool.
