King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

The course was in great condition, even with punched greens. They had a tournament earlier in the day so I had to wait for a cart. Otherwise a pleasant experience, and will go back.

Enjoyed playing the King and Bear and personally believe the layout is more interesting than the Squire and Slammer course with water coming into play on many of the holes. I've played both courses and believe paying a little more to play the King and Bear is definitely worth it. The apples on ice on 1st and 10th holes is a nice treat in the hot summer weather as well. The only thing I experienced that could not be considered positive was the fact I bought a hat in the clubhouse and found an additional charge on the receipt for resort fee that I thought was kind of cheesy.
Just figured it would be better for the consumer to show that in the original price rather than including it as a surprise. Course is maintained at a high level with consistent fast greens throughout. The staff is very accommodating and the cart service around the course is timely.

Made the trip out for a Tuesday hoping for a smooth round. Being a hot Florida day, there were several groups getting out early, I was shocked at the short duration between tee times, i believe 9 min. Given the price, i would have expected more.
Course was in great shape, fairways and greens. Landing areas were friendly, then tightening up with few run up opportunities as i expected from a Nicklaus design.

Everything is in great shape. Would definitely play here again.

We were made very welcome on arrival, despite our booking overlapping with their Ladies Member Guest tournament. Course was in great shape from tee to green. We had to skip one hole to by pass the Ladies shoot out - Very politely explained and we were invited to complete the hole later - complimentary drinks and sandwiches were provided for us - a really excellent day
Thank you we will be back soon

Everything you would expect from a world-class golf venue. What a great day of golf!

Nice course. Awesome staff from pro shop to maintenance staff....great greens!

Golf Now deal $89 is $102 after fees and taxes and worth it!!

Staff a bit businesslike and could be friendlier
Play it you won't regret it

Course is in beautiful condition.
Loved apple on 1st hole. There were suppose to be some on the tenth hole also but there were none!
If you are an average golfer do not challenge some of the water carries.

We wanted to play it, as we have heard a lot about it. It is a nice course in mostly very good condition, but to me it is not worth the two hours drive from Orlando. The place is overall in very good condition, T-boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens very mostly very good. But somehow it did not convince me a something very special. The layout is just – well – just a golf course – no hole was really breathtaking. The service was very good out there. As it was rather cold, the beverage cart girl was clever enough to offer hot coffee…

Service and condition wise a nice place, but to me it is not worth this high rate they ask…

For a resort course, I've played better. The fairways were excellent but the green speed was a little slow for my liking, probably around 9 on the stimp. Never saw a ranger or a beverage cart on the front nine. Took almost 5 hours to play. Our foursome waited on nearly all the tee boxes.

It appeared that most of the players on the course were average handicappers. Most were playing from the White tees. Possibly for the lower handicappers with the extended tee boxes, the course would be more interesting. I found it sadly lacking any real creative design or challenge. Did not ever see a "signature" type hole. Greens were pretty average in design and difficulty. I just recently played all the courses at Grand Cypress. This lay-out was pretty tame compared to those lay-outs and greens.

We found the golf course to be in excellent condition and challenging. Great golf course; good value!

Played King & Bear and Slammer & Squire. After paying over $400 to play TPC Sawgrass, it makes World Golf Village a great value. The course layout, conditions, staff and facility are all fantastic.
I highly recommend.

We had a blast at King and Bear. It was a perfect day for golf. The course was in great shape, fun and challenging. Most of the staff was wonderful.
My only issue was with the course ranger, who kept harping on us to "close the gap" between us and the group in front of us. They were two holes ahead of us and the group behind us was two holes back pretty consistently. We were a foursome (three low handicappers) playing "ready golf". This guy just wouldn't let up. He approached us three times, the last being on 13th green. We just drove by him. BTW, we got around in 4:05. Other than him...it was an excellent day and I'll definitely be back there soon. It's a little overpriced, but worth the experience. All in all, loved it.

The sand traps were terrible. An inch of sand then hard packed mud. F airways had lots of unfixed divots. Many very nice golf holes, though. Generally I feel it was overpriced.

Great course, I'm sure the course would be more pristine in summer or spring, fairways, tee boxes and green in great shape. Some of the bunkers could do with being a little bit better maintained.
Overall a must play

Any avid golfer should play this course simply because it is a collaboration between Nicklaus and Palmer. When I played, the weather was basically perfect and the course was in excellent condition, which I understand it basically always is. Very challenging but not to the point that you feel "beat up" after the round. It's pricey, but it's a bucket list course. so worth the hefty expenditure, at least on an occasional basis.

this course is absolutely amazing. the design by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus was so beautiful. every hole is a new adventure. water on most holes and lots of sneaky bunkers. overall it was an amazing experience and a course i will defiantly play again.

Outstanding golf course in very good condition especially considering the time of year. Excellent, courteous staff. Will play it again on next time down
