King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

we got paired up with two other players that were very nice and made a great day. as in all top courses range balls are there. it is a high end course but golf now rewards took the sting out of green fees. thank you!!!

I was very impressed with the staff and their efforts to make everything go very smoothly from arrival until the round was finished. Course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was just under four hours.

Everything about our experience at the King and the Bear was excellent. In short, it was an epic golf day! The service provided by the entire staff starting with the cart attendants and especially the starter was top notch. They even had a gentlemen from the pro shop come around repeatedly to check on you and make sure that you were enjoying yourself. The beverage cart was always around as well.

We played 18 in 3:45 and still never felt pushed or rushed because they did a great job of managing the tee sheet. The course was in great shape and the greens were rolling to around 10 on the stimp but they held shots well. Putting was true. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape as was the sand.

Every time I get down to the Jacksonville area I will be sure to play this course. If you are thinking about playing here and are not sure if you should, I strongly encourage you to make a tee time today and enjoy a truly great golf course and a truly great golf experience.

I was a bit apprehensive going to this course since the name and reputation was a little daunting, being an average golfer. I expected a snooty country club crowd. However, when I got there and found the staff and other golfers very friendly and accommodating, I was put at ease.

The course itself is beautiful and in excellent shape. The fairways and greens are close to flawless. The full price would have probably not been worth it but using a Hot Deal on GolfNow.com, I was able to get a reasonable rate.

Good design, staff was friendly and pace was good. We played on a "Hot Deal", would probably not pay full rate to play here though.

Weather was pretty cool for FLA. Course was in great shape. Played with a member who was a delight to play with & really knew the course. Would play again ant time.

I am normally a big fan of this course and have played it many times, however, this round was the most frustrating round in recently memory. This was due to the fact that in my 25 years of playing golf, I have never played a course with such ridiculous pin placements on 16 of 18 holes. The course was not set up for enjoyment and was unplayable with the wind conditions. Congratulations to the staff for making this a memorable (a.k.a. miserable) experience!

Had a good experience. Saw the hall of fame and played the king and bear course. Very good course, challenging yet fair. Would recommend to my friends.

Awesome golf course...immaculate conditions...worth every penny.

Played the tips and at 7200+ yards it was all the couse I wanted, played with others who played the whites and it offered an awesome look for them too. Would play again. Was in awesome shape with fast contoured greens.

For the middle of December, the course was in great shape. Just thinking about who designed it and the way it played took my breath away.

Got last minutes Hot Deal from GolfNow ... Course condition was lush ... green was not lightning fast ... somewhat forgiving even for high handicappers ... highly recommended.

My wife and I got a great to play the King and Bear from Golf Now and thoroughly enjoyed every part of our experience. This course is beautiful to look at and very playable. Pace of play was great ,greens and fairwAys in excellent condition and support staff very friendly. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more.

The complimentary iced apples on the first and tenth made my round! I booked a hot deal through golf now and had two other awesome playing partners. We played in the morning in under 4 hours. There are some very awesome holes and I am planning on playing here again tomorrow. Wish I could get as good of a deal on the Slammer & Squire course.

If you like to practice before your round, arrive early. Range balls are complimentary and should be for the cost of the green fees. Nice chipping area and large practice green. Found that the speed of the practice green was a close match to the course greens. Plenty of friendly rangers to keep up the pace of play. Played it once before paying full rack rate, and said it wasn't worth that cost. When I saw the 48% discount on GolfNow, I jumped at the chance to play it again and am glad I did. Impeccable course condition.

You will not be bored with this well designed course. The greens are excellent.

The course was not as good as I would have imagine it to be. The workers were only so/so, the pace was terrible as we waited on 16 of 18 holes. The design was nice, but there are better in Fla for the price. Use Golfnow to get discount because it would not be worth paying the full price. I played S&S a few years ago and liked it better. As far as recommending to a friend maybe just to say you played WGV, but not because of the course itself.

This course was fantastic. The greens and fairways were awesome! The marshals were great. The weather was great in the end of October.
The only downers are Golfnow still shows that the course has GPS included and it does not...and this course is a little higher priced than the sister course the Slammer and the Squire but does not clean your clubs or include a shuttle from or to your car... so im just not sure why it would be higher priced?

Took my friend to the King and Bear for his birthday and we had a great time. We were paired with a couple from London and the wife, who is 70 years old, scored a 77. Amazing time!

When I booked this tee time for myself and three senior friends from out of state, I didn't have a clue that the course would be CART PATH ONLY due to overseeding. Had I known this in advance, we would not have booked it. Since the fees were paid on line,we couldn't get a refund,so we went ahead and played, as we were already there. Two of my guests are super seniors(both 78). They were not happy golfers,and could not finish the round,or play the next day. This course carrys a pretty hefty fee,even through Golf Now, and I feel we should have been notified prior to booking,or at the booking process.
We highly recommend the course to others ,but are very discouraged with Golf Now right at this moment, and will take precautions before booking again.
