Great course

Greens are great, Course gives you a challenge but not to the point where you get frustrated. Staff friendly and helpful.

Great experience

We had all day to find a way to kill some time before flying back home and decided to play this course, especially since golfnow provided a hot deal.
We even asked for maybe a move up in tee times to allow more time before flight and they more than happy to do that as a couple of groups canceled.
The course was in excellent shape and we both had some highlights to talk about.
The staff was extremely courteous and would definitely go back, if I had the opportunity again.

Nice Course Golfnow needs to provide better info

Course and staff were great. But got there and course was over seeded and my guest with a handicap flag could not even drive in rough. Made play very difficult and would not have gone had we known. Golfnow should provide that information at time of booking. Also, a junior tournament was happening which made pace of play 2:45 for 9 holes. Quit after 9 and took a rain check which they graciously allowed.

One of the best courses in the JAX Area

The only reason, i didn`t rate 5 Stars: Since the course was overseeded, we could not drive to our balls. And there is construction work along some fairways. The course condition is top, the Greens are fast, close to perfect.

Overvalued

Beautiful, albeit windy Fall day. Played as single, card/cart/tee box have no diagrams or yardage, although plenty of sprinklers with info in fairways. Generous fairways - more than you think from tee, just aim for/over poles in fairways - it helps if you can work ball both ways. Big greens - they had recently been punched/sanded, and were slow/bumpy. Water really doesn't come into play for good players, but may for shorter/crooked drivers. Due to recent heavy rainfall, fairways somewhat burnt/bare, got little roll with drives, ball picked up mud. Overall, a typical Fla course, but not worth the premium greens fee they charge. If you have choice, play Slammer & Squire - on WGV site, just as challenging, less $$.

King And Bear

Great golf course Very enjoyable. Was paired with a good golfer that had played the course below and that really helped. Course was in great shape. Very well manicured course and greens roll great. I would say this is a must if you are in the St. Augustine area.

Midweek round

Had a great day of golf. This was the first time I walked through the clubhouse, wow it is beautiful. The course has been in great condition each time I have played and this time was no different. In spite of heavy rains here recently the course was well kept . the greens rolled true and the fairways were beautiful. It does play much longer with very little roll. I look forward to my next round out here with Jack and Arnie.

WET!

I normally love the course, but right now the course is soaked. Cart path only and saturated. Mud and water flying everywhere when hitting from fairway. There also was a fivesom in front of us for a little that did not ask us to play through so we skipped a hole. Not my best outing there.

Course Condition

The only reason for the good condition was due to the rain that the area has had, left for soft fairways in areas.

Worth every penny!

The course was in very good condition, the staff very friendly and helpful and I played on a perfect day. All the things a golfer hopes for every time we play.
I have played this track a dozen or more times and have been pleased each and every time. If I were to join a club again, it would be this one.

great course to play

the only thing could be a little better view from tee box on some holes if brush was a bit lower for better views where fairway was. the day had some rain and sunshine mixed. got a great deal from golf now 30 percent off. got to play a great course watch the golf chanel for that deal wow.

Great Course

I really like this course. Fun layout, some challenging par 3s. The greens were still recovering from being punched, but they were still pretty fast. Beautiful clubhouse! I will definitely play here again.

Play K and B...get free apple!

Awesome course...one of my favorites in the area. Pace of play was kind of slow but that may be expected with the difficulties of some of the holes. Booked thru GolfNow and got a excellent rate. Looking forward to returning and playing again.

Great course, aerated greens

Third time in this course & it never disappoints! Great range, great staff, great time.

The course was aerated about 3 weeks ago & it looked like they just gave it a second sanding so it was a little bumpy. Though this was the case, it was still quite fast on the greens & it looks like it will be fully back in about 1 - 1/12 weeks time.

Would highly recommend for the price right now, very much worth it!

Overall very nice with a few let downs

I have not been there for about 1 1/2 years. Participated in a 4-person scramble for Folds of Honor. Outside staff very friendly and very helpful. Practice facilities are close to clubhouse and cart staging which is great when in a tournament when carts cannot be moved. Hot and humid morning and course adviser was out early with cold towels. Nice job! there were a few greens that needed some major attention on the collars where the turf is dead and bear dirt. staff needs to get sod patches so the grass can regrow.
Downfalls: no yardage books available for purchase at front desk. answer was that they are getting new ones made. Course has not changed so why out?
Water feature between the 16th green and 17th Tee box was not working and looks as if it has been forgotten. When course first opened, this feature that Jack and Arnold designed was beautiful and the water was circulated from the lower pond to the upper by a pump house. Now the feature is full of weeds, mildew and algae since the water does not move. Hope someone reads this and brings it back to life. Would be nice to hear the running water in a quiet corner of the course.
Bonus: Compressed air hose at shoe cleaning station outside clubhouse to blow out/off the dirt and grass from your shoes.
