Great Place for Golf

Played King & Bear and Slammer & Squire. After paying over $400 to play TPC Sawgrass, it makes World Golf Village a great value. The course layout, conditions, staff and facility are all fantastic.
I highly recommend.

"Close the gap"

We had a blast at King and Bear. It was a perfect day for golf. The course was in great shape, fun and challenging. Most of the staff was wonderful.
My only issue was with the course ranger, who kept harping on us to "close the gap" between us and the group in front of us. They were two holes ahead of us and the group behind us was two holes back pretty consistently. We were a foursome (three low handicappers) playing "ready golf". This guy just wouldn't let up. He approached us three times, the last being on 13th green. We just drove by him. BTW, we got around in 4:05. Other than him...it was an excellent day and I'll definitely be back there soon. It's a little overpriced, but worth the experience. All in all, loved it.

Great layout, great staff, average condition

The Slammer and Squire course at The World Golf Village is a true resort course. They know how to keep you moving and get you through with a respectable four hour round on a pretty busy day. The staff is fantastic all the way around. The course itself is a fun resort style course with some great par threes. The greens were not in great shape with one of them even having repaired tire tracks on it but the fairways were solid. I can not complain about anything about this course and I would recommend it to friends. As a matter of fact since I am the trip planner for my group's buddy trips I will be adding this course to a Florida East Coast trip.

March golf

The sand traps were terrible. An inch of sand then hard packed mud. F airways had lots of unfixed divots. Many very nice golf holes, though. Generally I feel it was overpriced.

Arnold and Jack

Great course, I'm sure the course would be more pristine in summer or spring, fairways, tee boxes and green in great shape. Some of the bunkers could do with being a little bit better maintained.
Overall a must play

This Course is a "Must Play"

Any avid golfer should play this course simply because it is a collaboration between Nicklaus and Palmer. When I played, the weather was basically perfect and the course was in excellent condition, which I understand it basically always is. Very challenging but not to the point that you feel "beat up" after the round. It's pricey, but it's a bucket list course. so worth the hefty expenditure, at least on an occasional basis.

We always enjoy playing here. It is peaceful and a challenge on the greens, when peace and quiet is a must to get that bird or humbly settle for a par!

Good Day

The course and conditions were good and they should be for the high green fees. The attendants were very nice however at times it seemed we had little direction on we're to go. Overall it was a great experience for my son and I.

Seasonal dormant grass + difficult pin positions

Generally very fine conditions, layout make for interesting and challenging round for even above average golfer. Seasonal conditions and pin placements made round more difficult than normal.

Good day of golf!

This place is awesome! The stretch of holes 3 thru 8 are some of the prettiest holes anywhere on the planet! I live locally and have wanted to play this course since it opened. It was better than I expected! Worth the $$$$!!!

It's a Bear!!!

This is the only course in the world that Nicklaus and Palmer designed together. It is extremely difficult but very enjoyable. It's also a Five-Star gem from a design point of view. They have scattered the fairways with deep fingered bunkers that occasionally slope into water like a beach. Greens were slicker than rat snot on a water slide and most putts will slide through the perceived break. Bring your A Game for this one! Tough but a lot of fun!!

Course was in good shape for winter, green speeds were quick and consistent. Pace was good with slower groups allowing us through. Staff was was mixed, some super friendly, some seemed not so happy to be there? Good track!
