King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village
About
The King & Bear Course at World Golf Village is named for its designers, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. It is the first and only collaboration between the two legendary golfers. Combining the contrasting styles of the two designers created a challenging course that incorporates features from both traditional Scottish-links courses and new traditions in American golf. The course is known for the numerous lakes bordered by large coquina rock that come into play throughout. The front nine is dotted with loblolly pines while decades-old oak trees provide shade for the back nine. In addition to King & Bear, World Golf Village also offers another excellent 18-hole course, Slammer & Squire.

Golfer Reviews
Everything about this course is fantastic. It definately lives up to its name, and the apples on the 1st and 10th tees are definatley a plus.
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.
very nice challenging course...would recommend
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
Very good course and value (at$89).
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.
A pleasant experience
A varied and interesting test,i played from the blue tees,whih made it testing, but not impossible,a truly wonderfully designed course, it was in excellent condition, the staff were ultra friendly and helpful, starting from the boy who took our clubs, the pro shop and starter,and ending with the server for our lunch. This course has got it's customer relations right, which will make us return.
