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.

Fun course , joy to play.

Course was well cared for and spacious giving you some room for minor errant shots. Greens were somewhat quick but adjustments will give you a better chance to make some putts. Liked the course very much. Will play again.

Great Course, soggy fairways

First, there was a great deal on Golfnow. It was 11:57 and first tee time after a tournament made turn. They were running an hour behind and starter graciously asked and strongly suggested we get out early to avoid getting stuck behind group. It was admirable the way they looked out for us. I got paired with an avid golfing couple from St. Aug, Don and Miss Vickie, that were a joy to play with.

Fairways and valleys were soft and soggy. We had lots of plugged and muddy balls. It would have been good to get an advisory from starter or golf shop. Otherwise great experience again st WGV.

Fun Course with Challenging Layout

This course lives up to its hype. It has all that look for in a course Fast greens, wide fairways that provide a good challenge from both tee shots and approach shots. The course was in great shape when I played and pace of play was kept up throughout the round. Staff was friendly, and very reasonable with situations presented. All in all a great course to play.

All around great

As expected the course was in great shape. We caught a great deal online. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens were all in top shape. Only complaint of the day was having two balls pancake and sink down into green side bunkers from iron shots out of the fairway (I know, why would I hit it in there in the first place). Pace of play was outstanding and the course offers a great mix of layouts throughout the 18. Good views on 9 and 18 coming up to the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Pace of play needs to be improved

This is a great course. It is well maintained and challenging. Friendly, helpful staff. However, the three times that I have played here the pace of play was an issue. A lot of waiting behind slower groups. I think the rangers could be a little more forceful in getting groups to speed up. I will be returning because I do enjoy the course layout.
