World Golf Village

The King and the Bear bring the creative course designs of Nicklaus and Palmer together. If enjoy challenging length and strategic shot making this course will deliver! Excellent staff, facilities, course conditions

Holy cow were these greens slick. I took 10 feet out of my first putt and I needed to take out another 10. Course is in excellent shape and the rough has thinned out a little by the cold so you can catch some breaks there. I'd just like them to rig the greens again next time so I can get 3 birdies in 4 holes regularly. Little pricey, but such is life during Snowbird Season.

Multiple tee points let you set the course for your game...do this correctly and you'll have a wonderful time. Excellent condition with great greens and a fine overall layout. Would play again for sure.

My brother in law and I played this course as a "Hot Deal" on golfnow.com. Paid $59 each including cart. Outstanding value at this price. Very nice course. Scenic layout with virtually no homes on course. Had 0959 tee time on a Friday and sailed around course with no one in front or back of us. Fair amount of sand and water, so have to use your head, but plenty of room for safe shots. Course in excellent condition. Would definitely play again.

The wind was steady at 30 and gusts to 45 made for a tough day. The course was still in good condition and the greens were receptive. The course is on the expensive side, but worth it, if only once.

Looked forward to playing the course for a few years. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The course is very golfer friendly, no matter what set of tees you care to play. The condition was very good. Greens were fast, but fair. Recommend this place for a good round.

Our foursome played from 3 different boxes-Mens, Seniors and Womens. We were warned about playing too slow because we were 12 minutes behind pace by the time we reached the 14th hole. In other words- less than 1 minute late per hole played. Give me a break!

Poor weather....windy and cold, but course was good!

Good course. typical Nicholas design. greens hard to read at first.

My golf partner and I figured that the course would be in great shape and the greens were. Other than that, the price was a little high for the type of course conditions and layout we played. This is a $50 track....NOT $80

Well conditioned course tee to green. Memorable golf. Greens are undulated and tricky which I like. Many of holes in natural setting and not too much construction on the course, although I noticed there was a big plot cleared for future development and some of the course is played under the shadow of the world golf hall of fame. I prefer this course to the King and Bear because it is less developed currently.

Value: the reason for the ranking was my experience this particular day. Playing as a single the starter made the experience by putting me on the back nine first ahead of all the traffic. I played a relaxed 3 hour round never being on the same hole as another group all day. This allowed me to get in the zone as well as take in the natural setting and wildlife. To me...this was worth every penny of the discounted greens fees of golf now. Would the course be a good value at $159...absolutely not.

Cheers

Tee to Green, well designed...some memorable holes...greens/tees in great condition...fairways pretty good....rough penal as it should be. Only turf issue was fringe...with greens rolling pretty well, should be able to putt or chip from fringe...not the case today...fringe thick...nearly impossible to putt with any speed control from even 1foot off.

Under Construction: Where this course really falls short of the $179 asking and even the $89 golf now deals is the environment surrounding the course. I have played great golf across the country and what stands out to me is premiere golf in a natural setting. I could only recall 2-3 holes tops that were not lined with houses/condos/thru roads. Too be clear; the homes are not right on top of you...and are nice...but they are present at every turn. What makes the setting even less appealing is the ongoing construction of new houses/condos on several of the holes.

It's too bad...this course on a natural Florida wilderness setting would command the current rates. Hope this review helps your decision to spend your golf dollars. I would play Slammer and Squire if deciding between the two.

Great condition, wonderful staff, and playable layout. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the pairing, range, and putting green all in great condition. Thanks

Our group enjoyed the the entire facility and the professionals were the best.

The Slammer and the Squire was a fun golf course to play. The layout was interesting and the greens were fair and they rolled true. We played this course during the worst weather on our trip (45 to 50 degrees with wind and rain showers) and we still had fun out there. I wouldn't pay $100 to play here but a weekday rate found on golf now in the $65 range was well worth the price. If it is good enough for Gary Player, it is good enough for me!

This golf course was in tremendous condition-best greens in Jacksonville area....I highly recommend that you play this course No rating on food as we did not eat at course

I love this course. I paid only 8$ with my 75$ voucher how sweet is that? course is well maintained and in excellent shape. challenging for any level golfer because it has multiple tee boxes.

The course is designed by Arnold and jack so it is very amazing to play. Mostly challenging with some water but the layout does include some easier holes.

Great course. fairways needed cut and bunkers needed work. A little pricey but worth the afternoon deal on "golf now" $89 after 1:00. Would not advise paying full price.

I've played King-Bear many years ago and jumped at the golfnow rate. Fairways were great and greens were FAST and true. Reminds you of his good the WGV courses are....wish they were regularly cheaper.
