Course is great, even after heavy rains

This is my fourth time playing here and the course has never let me down. We have had heavy afternoon Raines consistently over the last couple of weeks and I was expecting this course to be in subpar condition.

We had a party of eight playing and we could not have asked for better conditions given the recent rain and we were all extremely impressed with just how good of shape the course.

Always wanted to play. Won't return, sadly

Booked on GN and found out when I parked that it was cart path only. Most members canceled, so it was wide open. Course was wet but probably could've been 90° by noon, bit they don't do that. Old guy in pro shop was a bit of a jerk. Tees and fairways were nice. Greens still bumpy even after a month since aeration. I normally have one or less 3 putts....had 4 today. Putts bounced around. Paired with a great guy but I don't think I will return. It's a shame, really. Wanted to play here for 15 years. Kind of a letdown.

Great Experience!

Fantastic Course Conditions

The course was in great shape, greens were firm/quick. Fairways were in great shape too. My only complaint was Mother Nature and the endless gnats buzzing my face and ears.

I’ll be back!

Just punched and sanded

Beautiful course, everything is fantastic but shouldn’t have paid full price for a freshly punched and sanded course

Near perfect conditions

Played on a Monday at 1 pm and finished in just over 3 hours, only played through one group. The course looked and played immaculate. I played it many years ago and did not remember anything with all the changes. Super friendly staff made a difference too.

Pristine Conditions

First time playing here and I was impressed. It’s the nicest public course in the area aside from TPC Sawgrass. The layout was awesome, definitely some memorable holes. The course conditions were second to none. Aside from the pace of play, it was a perfect experience

Very disappointed - an overpriced and very poorly managed resort

Starting with the golf shop my experience was poor. I have played dozens of 4-and-five-star courses in my life. On Sunday morning we were advised they were adding a fourth to our group. Ok, but I should have known this prior to booking a round that they would be adding a stranger to our group, Driving range in poor condition. I had to hunt for grass. to hit range balls. Many tee boxes were in poor shape. greens needed to be rolled as they were very inconsistent. Now the kicker that I've never experienced before at any quality golf facility, especially on a Sunday. The restaurant did not open to 11 and they were out of complimentary coffee in the pro golf. Overall, for the $178 fees I paid to play and a 5hr & 40-minute round (ranger said he couldn't ask anyone to move faster) me and my two friends were deeply disappointed and would never go back . Take my advice and stay away

Nice but slow greens

Conditions overall are good, but not great. Greens look nice, are firm on approach, but SLOW. Slower than the county muni a few miles away. Maybe a 7-8 stimp at best. We were constantly leaving putts short. Bunkers were also quite inconsistent - I was in soft sand, hardpan, wet to the point of almost muddy and everything in between. I expect better for the two WGV courses, especially for what they charge.

Meh

Arrived early to warm up. Star was friendly and picked me and my bag up in the parking lot. Nice touch! Then I paid with a debit card and still was charged the 3% processing fee (they must do this so much that they forget to ask). Driving range was nice. Course was in good shape. Greens need to be rolled to smooth out bumps from plugging previous pin positions. Nice to say I played here but unless I read that they updated the course I’ll probably not come back.

Great Layout

I really enjoyed playing the course. It's one of those what you see is what you get layouts. Nothing spectacular...Nothing ridiculous. Being from an area with mostly bent grass courses, it's hard for me to really love Bermuda grass venues - especially in the spring time during dryer than normal weather patterns, which lends itself to less than plush grass off the fairways and greens. Nevertheless the course was in great shape if the lack of greenery doesn't matter to you.

We paid $94 per tee time, which I think is somewhat above the value received. However, as I said, we enjoyed it and will return to play the King-Bear course on our next visit to St. Augustine.

Very nice experience

Staff could not find me on the tee sheet for the first few minutes, I got very nervous but they got it all squared away, staff inside and out were professional and polite and happy, very helpful, paired with 2 very nice guys from Canada. Wanted to pick up a few things from the pro shop but it was to late, they were closed

Overall we all had a great time and the course was in excellent condition. Will be coming back.
