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.

Slammer And Squire A Must!

What's not to like?

18 well groomed and challenging holes, well laid out, out and in!

The weather was just about perfect, which enhanced the experience altogether.

Great setting, cool layout, can be picturesque

It’s a pretty straightforward course. It was the first of 4 courses we played in St. Augustine (we played TPC Sawgrass Dye’s Valley, King and Bear, and St. John’s Golf and Country Club) and it was everyone’s fourth ranked course. However, it’s still a really good track. The people and service are top notch.

Greens were a little chewed up but overall it was in good shape.

The setting with the World Golf Hall of Fame is really cool. Especially Hole 9.

OMG Great Course

I play a couple of times a week during the Spring, Summer, and Fall in Michigan, but only a few times all winter. This course is a must play if you are in the area, however it is rather expensive for me. I can usually find some rather good courses in the area for around 30 to 40 dollars. If the price were a little more reasonable I would play it more than once a season.

Great fun.

The course has been one that I have wanted to play since taking lessons at the PGA golf school off of the 10th hole. It was worth the wait. I had a great time. I met up with 2 other Golf Now players and was put into their newly formed group. Both of the gentlemen (Mark and Pete) were fun to hang with and made the round that much more fun the more we got to know each other. The greens were as fast as any I have played. The fairways were excellent and felt good under my feet. The carts were great and ran well, were clean and came with towels to dry the seats when it did drizzle. A shuttle takes you to and from the course from the parking lot and it runs constantly. The club house was beautiful and a pleasure to be in. I can not say enough about how well we were treated by the staff and even the cart girl was polite and always showed up at the right times.

Golf at the Slammer and Squire

I had a great time. Course was in great shape. It was cloudy and windy the day I played but was very enjoyable. Staff was great and very helpful. This is one of the best course I have played. If I have the chance will play again.

Love this course

This is one of the best courses I have played in the Saint Augustine area. The only problem was it was cartpath only because they were seeding the fairways. I will definitely play here again.

One of My New Favorites

I'll begin with the fact that the reason I played this course was a surprising Hot Deal ($30).

Got to the course and was told that it was cart path only because they had just done their fall overseeding on the fairways. As long as the greens were not aerated I was fine with that, although it was often A long walk :-).

Course was fairly deserted because of the overseeing, thus the price. Great condition. Consistent quick greens and layout.

I wish they would have more hot deals like this but will probably not happen. Too bad because a lot of people are missing out on a great course.

Surprisingly soggy

The course was surprisingly wet -- despite the fact that the area has not had an overabundance of rain in the past week or so. I played the day before at another JAX-area course, and there were no wet spots. The wet conditions were only half of the battle. Once I finally found the course (you would think that if World Golf Village can afford TV advertising it could afford more than two directional signs to Slammer and Squire), the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. As for the course, interesting layout, visually attractive and challenging enough (though not particularly long unless you play from the tips). Other observation was the relatively slow speed of the greens. This is the time of year when the greens all over JAX speed up. Not here though. I would like to play here again, but it will have to be during a prolonged dry spell.

Very nice course conditionsT

This is definitely a very nice course . However, the regular price of $95 is a little too high for my tastes. With a Hotdeal from Golfnow.com, I got on for $35. The staff was friendly, the course conditions were very good, and had it not been for the wet conditions that caused us to use "cart path only", this would have been perfect. Great resort next door, too.

Fun course , joy to play.

I have played the Slammer & Squire four times now and have enjoyed playing very much. Golf Now has made the price possible to play for an old guy on a fixed income. I hope they keep it up so I can play some more. Every golfer should enjoy playing at least once so you can play it again.
