King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

We played through Golf Now ... they had a "deal" for around $100 vs the $169 through the course. Yes, it is a good course BUT a lot better considering it's about a $100 course. The greens were in good shape after a tough winter, fairways good for that time of year and location. YES, I'd play it again ... and enjoyed the experience ...

Start time @ 3:30 twilight discount, free balls @ driving range but nobody came to tell us when it is our time to start, web site mentionned GPS on every cart, there were no GPS on any cart we would have appreciate at least a yardage book to help us for a first time on the course.
King & Bear is a very nice course but for the money spent we would have expected a bit more.

First time in WGV, and it was very beautiful and challenging course. Love the layout and apple!

Staff very professional courtious made you feel comfortable

more difficult than slammer & squire golf course . More challenging. Arnold palmer signature through high quality bunkers. Great course

Played Feb. 2013 and the conditions were superb for this time of year. Greens rolled true and the overall layout was very challenging. Nice assortment of holes. Cannot beat the service and the whole experience. Playing Arnie and Jack's combo is well-worth the visit. Also, clubhouse has nice amenities and staff was very attentive.

The course was in superb shape. It is beautiful, challenging, but fair. The facilities are magnificent from the practice areas to the restaurants. Make sure you visit the Golf Hall of Fame. It is a must do.

I played this course on a very cold and windy day. It is a good test of your golf skills, especially during harse conditions. This course appears to get more play than the other, so the conditions are not quite to the same level. That said, it is still in very good shape for this time of year.

Played this course on a Friday and then again on a Monday. I made my tee time on GolfNow 30 minutes before showing up at the course, but despite my quick reservation, the staff had my reservation, was super friendly and went out of their way to make my experience wonderful!

was unable to get any discount golfnow due to time constraints ( catching flight that afternoon.) played 2 other courses in 3 days this was best . Slammer & squire (very close to this course as far as review ) also 1/2 price since had flexability as far as time. also amelia island which is nothing more then muny course plus very crowded and slow

GolfNow got me great pricing for this course and even in early Feb the course was in excellent shape! GolfNow is an awesome tool for booking out of state tee times.

Great course nice fairways, greens are quick but fair

Amazing golf experience. Great deal for the chance to play on a challenging, pro designed course. Complimentary range balls, tees, towels, and apples. Very nice pro shop. Lots of large, deep bunkers, but overall an amazing golf experience. I would love to come back to play and see more of the property.

This course, which is part of the World Golf Village, is a must play. It is a couple miles from the resort but WGV offers shuttles to and from course. It is a bit more challenging than their sister course, Slammer & the Squire. Included in the greens fees is unlimited range balls, and a nice practice green for putting and chipping. The tee boxes are in mint condition and the greens were fairly quick. It is a course that is relatively open off the tee but can be punishing if you are on the wrong side of the hole. The one dissappointment that I can think of is the lack of GPS. I would recommend getting to the course early for a nice breakfast and then taking an hour or so to hit the range. If you are in the St. Augustine area and looking for a couple of rounds of golf, I would suggest playing the King and the Bear.

The course was nice but not worth $170/round. Just because you can command that price during the holidays doesn't make it affordable for most. The young lady at check-in acted like she didn't want to be there and didn't even make eye contact with me and my playing partners.

Booked via Golfnow @ $90; best deal available; at this price the course is a fair deal, Oustanding condition, fairways, greeens, tees, rough....all perfect. The landing areas are generous, and the course is very enjoyable to play. Excellent range. Arnie & Jack did an excellent job of designing a great course for all; just pick the tee that suits your game...you will love it. Would play again and again.....

Played this course with a couple of Army buddies that were visiting for the weekend. Very impressive layout. Long but fair. Good landing areas and a course that requires a little thinking and timely ball striking. Tee selection is key. Traps and hazards are there for taking. Water never seem to cause us any issues. If you hit into it, its not because of the layout.

windy conditions due to storm Sandy..challenging well kept excellent and true greens..free range balls.. all in all I would recommend this course even though a bit pricey

Conditioning of course and facilties was excellent. Very helpful and friendly staff. Course facilities are very good (practice range/trap/green; restaurant/bar). Course has many good golf holes and is aesthetically pleasing, though is inside a home development (upscale), which does not appeal to some people. Average level of difficulty from mid tees; played with a novice player and it was enjoyable for them too (no forced carries or unusually difficult water hazard positioning). At the normal rate of 189, the course is overpriced, though thru GolfNow we got an 89 rate, which is an excellent value for a very good course/facility.

only negative thing was they were out of apples when teeing off on the back nine
