World Golf Village

Great staff, fun course & really enjoyed our round.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I set the reservation through GolfNow and it’s I would owe $197.34 at the course after paying $41 up front. But I got charged $213.13 at the course when I paid in the pro shop??

The clubhouse and proshop were extremely hot and everything was disorganized. The staff inside were pleasant enough.

The starter was a complete jackwad and made our group of 8 immediately question our decision to play this course. You would have thought he wanted nobody there and acted like we had never played a round of golf anywhere before and that we were about to enter the hallowed grounds of Aigusta. It's like he was the lead performer at a one man show as his speel took like 15 minutes and we almost missed our tee time. ABSOLUTELY ridiculous!

The course was in below average condition, especially compared to King & Bear. Price was good but pace of play was very slow. Probably because of the starter honestly.

Overall, I would not play this course again, which is the only one (out of 8) that I can say for Florida.

Over priced for overall quality

Greens are excellent to be fair but a little shabby around the edges

Course staff were

Outstanding,

3h45mins

The course and the layout were excellent. However the pace of play was extremely disappointing and greatly affected our experience. Better course management by rangers is really needed as well as the lack of on course concessions.

Not sure why the course would allow 250 reservations in one day. we didn’t get to finish the round and we started at 3:13pm. We left at 8:00pm because there was a line on 17 and 18. i placed this reservation in February in hopes of them not overbooking near my party’s tee time. Tee times ended up being 5 minutes apart and it was unorganized.

The is a good option in St. Augustine. Greens were in good shape but slow. Hard to predict the break. Slowed down at the end with some slow groups in front of us. Staff was extremely friendly!
