King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

The only Palmer Nicklaus coarse in the World!

Need I say anymore?

In wonderful condition and great pace of play even on a Saturday. Super friendly and attentive staff!! Well worth the play!!

1). Map GPS route for Bear & King lead to a deadened street.

2). Bear and King course not integrated with World Golf Village proper.

3). Unbeknowns to me, the course was under substantial repair.

4). Only the back 9 was available for play...played it twice in under 3 hours.

5). The back 9 was also under repair in places, so if you landed there you had to move your ball out.

6). I was charged $100.00+ for half a course?

It was a great experience but we weren't told only 9 holes were open for play until we arrived for our tee time. The staff was awesome got us out at there sister course slammer and the squire. It was awesome as well. Looking forward to playing 18 holes next time

Good layout , great shape , good challenge even from front tees.

First time playing the course since it's 5 hours from home. There was a member tournament that started 15 minutes before my time. This made the round miserable since there was a wait of 20-30 minutes per hole. Took 5.5 hours to play! But the course layout was very nice. I played from the tips which played out over 7k yards. Fairway was to high and back 9 greens are over watered. If you haven't played here, I do recommend playing despite my bad experience

I played this the day after TPC Sawgrass so I had to take time to reflect on it to fairly grade it. Got a deal time for the course and found it to be a great value. At the rack rate of $150 it is just an ok value. $75-100 is a solid value for the course. The course is fairly easy as I scored my second best round ever, but it is still interesting. You could put this course in just about any city and it would be one of their better public tracks. I wouldn't make a special trip to play here but if you're in the area I would recommend it.

These are best greens we have ever putted on. Wished we lived closer to become a member!!!

The excellent service prior to the round set a enjoyable round into motion. From the bag drop to the clubhouse staff to the starter everything was first class. The pro shop alone is almost worth the visit with all the historic memorabilia and pictures lining the hallway to the restaurant. Practice facilities were excellent with good quality range balls.

The course was in great shape and the greens putted true and were lightning fast. Lots of water and tons of well placed bunkers that were all raked out perfectly which is rare mid-afternoon on most courses. I have played many nice courses and this one is of the best for overall service & quality.

Staff was great and professional. Free unlimited range balls. Only thing is no GPS although confirmation said GPS included.

Found this course while on vacation. Wanted to golf one more time before we left and we were pleasantly surprised by this course considering we only paid 18 dollars to play! The course is in good shape. The staff was friendly. The course is narrow and challenging. We plan to return the next time we're in town!

Very nice course with wide fairways and soft but quick greens. The rough was penal. Staff is friendly and helpful. After round the food was very good. Would play again if I make it back to this area.

Having played most if not all of the better courses in Central FL, I was thoroughly impressed with the course. The course conditions were spectactular especially for this time of year. It is a very fair course for all handicaps in my opinion. The fairways are wide enough and the greens have good roll with some challenging contour. I will be back!

EXCELLENT COURSE

GREAT CONDITION

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF

except for the wet conditions all was perfect

Enjoyed playing the course! It was very wet from five days of rain, but I'm pretty sure they have no control of that!!!

The greens just got punched a week before I played. I did not know this when i reserved. So initially I was not happy. However, the greens were still ok to play. Once I started playing I saw how beautiful the course is. The fact that I'm writing an extremely positive review even with the greens just being punched, indicates how good this course is. I would definitely recommend playing if you are in the St. Augustine area. I also would recommend making the trip to see the Hall of Fame.

Great course, challenging even from the up tees. Staff was very friendly in and outside the clubhouse.

I made the trek to World Golf Village expecting a PGA experience like I experienced at TPC Sawgrass. The hotel does NOT deliver on a golf-resort experience. It was loud, the service was poor, and the hotel was filled with many non-golfer groups. If you can find a way to play the King and Bear without over-paying for the mediocre (2-Star) hotel, I would. This is a fun course to play. The gator on hole 17 made this a real Florida golf experience. The greens were in better condition than the Slammer & Squire. The club house is what you would expect and the food was good.
