King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

Really fantastic course, gorgeous hole after gorgeous hole. Everything was in perfect condition and the staff was great too. On the pricey side but definitley a must play in the area

Gorgeous course! It's too bad when I showed up I was told that I was not getting a GPS unit even though my reservation said I did, also was given a scorecard that was already used (of course I didn't notice that until I finished the first hole), and a random twosome was allowed to jump in front of us at the turn. These issues were just a few. Outside of that, the course was great and challenging. Not easy at all! I probably will not ever play here again though. Not worth the $150+ fee. Slammer & Squire is a FAR better experience. There are a ton of nice courses out there so unless you're dead set on playing here, you will get equal condition, better value and better service for half the cost or less somewhere else!

We got a good deal, otherwise the 169 USD regular rate would have been our limit for playing the course.
Arnold palmer and Jack Nicklaus did a great job when creating this fantastic course. We played at excellent weather, were very welcome by the helpful and friendly staff.
The course is winding thru various neighbourhoods but still creates a feeling of being in the nature. We liked all 18 holes but the last 9 were even nicer than the first ones. Water on almost every hole makes it challening but the fairways allow slices and hooks, at least most of them. Lot's of bunkers which make it require to have a strategy before you hit the ball, fine quartz sand in bunkers though. The course was in excellent condition, the greens could have been a little more undulated but they are challenging anyway.
If you're in the area, play it you won't regret it!

Was allowed to play alone which is important to senior at the age of 83!

Whenever I get the urge to treat myself to a great round of golf -- perfect greens, challenging layout, well marshaled pace of play and excellent customer service -- this is the course I think of Northeast Florida. If you're a fan of golf architecture and seeing how the designers used the topography of the land to create natural settings, King & Bear is also a must visit. No it's not your typical muni or semi-private and you will have to pay a bit more, but it's worth it. Just remember to check your ego at the door, play the forward tees and remind yourself why you enjoy playing this game.

The best course we've ever played and will definitely come back again! Apple barrels full of iced down fresh apples was a great feature too!

Played here on Black Friday so pace was a but slow but we didn't mind because this is a beautiful golf course. The fairways and greens were immaculate and the many water and waste areas made you think about your shot. The staff was awesome and we got a great deal thru Golfnow. Definitely a course to be played.

the course was wet from the rain day that it was and we had to walk from cart paths but it was in great condition.the course has all the shots and greens are great. the course is not long from white tees and is very forgiving.

Course was in great condition, has many picture worthy, challenging holes. Excellent practice facility included in green fee. Pace of play was on the slow side and "player assistant" was missing in action. Otherwise, it was definitely worth the trip. The reduced price green fee offered by Golf Now made the overall value better than the normal rack rate.

Course was fantastic. Greens immaculate, fairways a little spongy due to the rain but still excellent play. Played in the morning and we were not pushed at all. Played less than 4 hours. Will definately play again..

We are both 15 handicap. We enjoyed playing this course, very challenging. Greens in great condition. They were overseeding the course but conditions were very good. It was windy so not easy to reach greens in regulation on pars 4.

The facilities were very nice and the staff very courteous and friendly. That's the good part. Sand traps were damp and packed down solid as if they are never groomed. Greens were bumpy as if they were never rolled and the holes were ragged around the edges. Maintenance needs to seriously get on the ball. First time playing there and seriously disappointed.

Had overseeded fairways and I ended walking about 5 miles. Though there might have been a discounted rate for such conditions.

Cart girl couldn't tell us how long it would be before she would be back around! Not even an approximation! Ordered 2 dbl Bloody Marys.....$32!!! Are you kidding me?!? I had ordered one inside at lunch and it was about $7-$8. I went in to ask the bartender why the difference, she told me she didn't charge me for a dbl that it should have been $12. She said that the $16 charge was for Ketel One (premium). Ok, I wasn't given a choice. Also, the cart girl's last round was our 7th hole...about 2:00-2:15. But other than that, it was a great round! Staff and bartender were great and the course was beautiful and in great shape!

Excellent course. Even with cart path only the course played very fast. Nice practice facility.

Golf course is excellent. Great condition, interesting to play with a good mix of golf holes and very fair. Lots of water on the course but mostly not in your line of play making it very playable.
5 star treatment from the staff and the apples are tasty !! Got a good discount on "golfnow", on my list of must plays if in the area again.

What a fantastic day at King and Bear inside World Golf Village. The staff helped me from the 1st minute I arrived. Course conditions were great and they even over seeded a few days earlier. Only tee boxes and fairways were done, so the greens are absolutely perfect. It was cart path only, but it was an enjoyable walk. I hit balls in the AM, played 18 with 2 players from NYC for the gator/dawg football game. Had lunch then went out and practiced some more at their short game facility. Lunch? How about fresh Mahi fish tacos w/sweet potatoe fries and topped with a homemade dipping sauces. Delicious.Period. Server Linda.Keeper.
I have been living in the area a long time and somebody is doing something right here.
Classy place that has a terrific group of people.
Thanks again, I enjoyed it.

Found the course to be in pristene condition. Everyone was very helpfull and courtious. Greens were challenging put ran true. Highly recomend this course.

This was my first time playing this course and it is a great layout. My only complaint is that I played the day after a heavy rain and the course was soaked and it was cart path only. The greens were perfect and fast. there is also water on almost every hole that made it very challenging. You may want to use 3 wood instead of driver on a few holes to be safe.

This course is a must play, challenging yet fair. Although it was cart paths only due to 2 inches of rain the night before, the course was in great shape. Fast greens, immaculate fairways. Cant wait to play it again !!
