World Golf Village

Greens were the worst I have ever seen here. They were all painted in attempt to hide the major flaws. Maybe later in the spring it will be worth the money again.

It was my first time playing this course and I had a great time. The course was in great shape and had some challenging holes. I didn’t play very well on the front nine, but played even on the back. The staff was very nice and I would love to play King and Bear again..

Our foresome tee off at 2:05 pm. There was no drink cart after 4:00 pm and the club house was completely closed by the time we finished.
If you want to enjoy food and a drink after playing, do not come to this course.
The golf course is great, but there is no amenities in the afternoons.

Early tee time, 3rd tee time of the day. Was done in 2 1/2 hours. Fairways and greens were perfect. Going again next time I visit that area.

Top notch place to golf. Friendly staff and course is in great condition.

Took friends from SD, they said it was the best coarse they ever played. Wish the bar would of stayed open past 5pm.

Course was in great shape for this time of year, greens were rolling 10ish. Would have given 5 stars but pace or play I was almost unbearable. Should not take 5 hours to play golf in carts. On course rangers there are useless. Group in front of us was at least 2 holes behind.

I was very anxious to play this course and it did not let me down. The staff was very nice. The cart guy even let me start on 10 because there was back up on 1. Course was in great condition. Loved my experience.

Paid more at the golf course than golf pass said on receipt. They said they didn’t like dealing with golfpass. Problems with software or something. Took awhile to get checked in.

Course was in pretty good shape, but not what you expect for $220. Layout has nothing memorable about it. The round took 5.5 hours. They have lots of marshalls on the course, but none that will do anything about pace of play. The restaurant is a joke in every way. You would think with the price of the course, they would have better staff and better food in their restaurant.

Course was very dry and hard. Was not able to take a divot with any shot. Sand traps were hard and greens were sanded. When I booked this round for 2 people we were not notified of any of this.

While it may not have the name cachet of its sister course, King & Bear, Slammer & Squire is the more compelling of the two courses at World Golf Village, in my estimation. Especially through recent renovation work, architect Bobby Weed massaged interesting strategy, eye-catching bunkering and fun green contours - including several that fall away from the line of play - into an otherwise fairly standard resort routing. The variety in the greens means that it would be worthwhile to play this course multiple times during an extended visit.

It's cart golf for the most part, but Slammer & Squire is more stimulating than the bulk of Florida resort golf, especially when the greens are firm and quick, as they were in April. I'd gladly play here again as a waypoint to elsewhere along Interstate 95.

The attraction of playing a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer *and* Jack Nicklaus is obvious, and marketable. While I'm not sure it produced a golf course far and away better than either golf legend's crew could have built individually, it is definitely a pleasant resort golf experience.

Most importantly, King & Bear won't beat you up too badly as long as you play the proper tees. The fairways are pretty generous and the greens are on the larger side, though they are due for resurfacing, which should enlarge them and incorporate some helping contours that have fallen out of use in recent years. The fall-away first green sets a positive tone, and other highlights include the par-5 5th and 8th holes, as well as the short par-3 11th and tempting par-4 15th, a favorite of Palmer's.

Visitors to World Golf Village seldom leave without playing both the King & Bear and Slammer & Squire layouts. While I prefer the latter, I would not turn down another chance at the former.

Course was in great shape except for a few greens that were VERY sub par for this price point of course. The pace of play was very poor. We waited on every hole to tee off and yet there was no push by the ranger at all. A little financial reprieve for the local players would really be appreciated.

Most greens were pock marked with old ball marks and old hole locations which were not healed. Love the course and hate to demean it, but that was how I found it!
