World Golf Village

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.

Outstanding golf course in very good condition especially considering the time of year. Excellent, courteous staff. Will play it again on next time down

I was paired up with two guys both a pleasure to play with. Hadn't played here in 15 years-better than I remembered. Challenging but playable. Played while my wife shopped turn into a great day !

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.

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 $$$$!!!

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!

Excellent layout - has everything to test your game, i.e. side hill lies, down hill lies, uphill lies, lightning fast greens. Great condition.

good course but not what we were lead to believe have played many better courses that were at least as good but cost much less.

I was very excited to play this course after hearing so much about the World Golf Village and the Hall of Fame. This was my first visit to the area. I booked my tee time with GolfNow and when I got to the pro shop to check in the person there said I owed a different amount then what was on my confirmation. She said Gold Now had not included the "resort fee" of $5.00. I thought it odd that Golf Now would not have known about this an included. I paid the fee and went to the carts. I would have thought that a world class course like this would have had GPS on the cart but none on board. Would have been important to have since I did not know the course at all. The staff didn't seem to care much about the non members like me. Not very friendly or customer oriented except for the members. I was a bit insulted when I finished the round and got an email from the course with a $20.00 lower green fee then I had just paid to play. I probably won't play this course again if ever in the area. There are too many other choices.

On a positive note, the course was in great shape and I was paired with two gentlemen who were very gracious and fun to play with.

There is something about playing a course designed by both Palmer and Nicklaus. Layout was good and the course was in great shape. Lots of water and bunkers. Greens were in great shape. My only complaint would be the cost. Not a lot of people playing this course or the Slammer & Squire the entire week we stayed at WGV. If they lowered the price to under $100 for the K&B and under $75 for the S&S, I suspect they would fill both courses. Worth playing at least once though!!

I enjoyed this course. It is a typical Florida course - lots of water and sand. The landing areas are generous and the trouble is obvious. Staff was great, and sent me out as a single on a slow Sunday morning - finished in under four hours with no problem. Would recommend as long as you're up for paying resort prices.

we got paired up with two other players that were very nice and made a great day. as in all top courses range balls are there. it is a high end course but golf now rewards took the sting out of green fees. thank you!!!

Upscale resort course; great conditions.
Pricey, look for discounts. Tricky fast greens.
Not very busy.

I have wanted to play here for a while. Signed up on Golf Now discount and got first class service from the Bag drop, on practice tee, starter, on course, and end of round return to my car. Id love this to be my home course!!

I was very impressed with the staff and their efforts to make everything go very smoothly from arrival until the round was finished. Course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was just under four hours.

Everything about our experience at the King and the Bear was excellent. In short, it was an epic golf day! The service provided by the entire staff starting with the cart attendants and especially the starter was top notch. They even had a gentlemen from the pro shop come around repeatedly to check on you and make sure that you were enjoying yourself. The beverage cart was always around as well.

We played 18 in 3:45 and still never felt pushed or rushed because they did a great job of managing the tee sheet. The course was in great shape and the greens were rolling to around 10 on the stimp but they held shots well. Putting was true. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape as was the sand.

Every time I get down to the Jacksonville area I will be sure to play this course. If you are thinking about playing here and are not sure if you should, I strongly encourage you to make a tee time today and enjoy a truly great golf course and a truly great golf experience.

The course is in excellent condition. We were able to play as just a twosome, which was nice. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

I was a bit apprehensive going to this course since the name and reputation was a little daunting, being an average golfer. I expected a snooty country club crowd. However, when I got there and found the staff and other golfers very friendly and accommodating, I was put at ease.

The course itself is beautiful and in excellent shape. The fairways and greens are close to flawless. The full price would have probably not been worth it but using a Hot Deal on GolfNow.com, I was able to get a reasonable rate.

We arrived about an hour early by a friendly staff member to take us and our bags to check in. I was very surprised how slow it appeared considering it was a Saturday morning and the weather was perfect. We let the starter know we could go off as soon as he was ready and went to the practice green near the first tee. I understand we were early but was a little miffed that we no one teed off for the first twenty minutes we were there. Then the starter sent out a couple of foursomes in front of out twosome. Finally we teed off and yes we were still early so that was nice but by the time we reached the fifth tee we were waved thru both foursomes. At that point we did not see anyone in front or behind the rest of the round, nice. Anyway the course was very nice but perhaps too expensive hence the lack of play on a beautiful Saturday morning.
