World Golf Village

For the middle of December, the course was in great shape. Just thinking about who designed it and the way it played took my breath away.

Got last minutes Hot Deal from GolfNow ... Course condition was lush ... green was not lightning fast ... somewhat forgiving even for high handicappers ... highly recommended.

9:50 tee time w/ Leah. $99/ea Golf Now Hot Deal rewarded free. Similar in quality to Waldorf Astoria GC, Shingle Creek GC, Orange Lake Resort - The Legends. Tee boxes, fairways, greens lush & plushly carpeted w/o any weeds. Wide tee shot landing ares. Large elevated greens rolling true & fast. Some unique hole layouts. Top notch Pro shop & clubhouse located adjacent to the Golf Hall of Fame. Battery powered carts w/ windshield & rain cover in back. An expensive course I'd never be able to afford, as well as most people & that's why the pace was tremendously good because hardly anyone was playing.

My wife and I got a great to play the King and Bear from Golf Now and thoroughly enjoyed every part of our experience. This course is beautiful to look at and very playable. Pace of play was great ,greens and fairwAys in excellent condition and support staff very friendly. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more.

It was extremely cold for the area (40 when I started at 9:30) and I was the first person off the 1st tee. Course was in great condition - especially the greens. I played the King&Bear two days before and was really disappointed in the course's condition so I was concerned this course would be in the same condition. Bad storms came through the area a couple of days before but you couldn't tell it by the course - it was prestine! Overall, a great experience!

Magnifique terrain. Comme toujours. C'est toujours un grand plaisir d'y revenir chaque année.

This is a very enjoyable experience except for 5:45 hour pace of play.

The complimentary iced apples on the first and tenth made my round! I booked a hot deal through golf now and had two other awesome playing partners. We played in the morning in under 4 hours. There are some very awesome holes and I am planning on playing here again tomorrow. Wish I could get as good of a deal on the Slammer & Squire course.

If you like to practice before your round, arrive early. Range balls are complimentary and should be for the cost of the green fees. Nice chipping area and large practice green. Found that the speed of the practice green was a close match to the course greens. Plenty of friendly rangers to keep up the pace of play. Played it once before paying full rack rate, and said it wasn't worth that cost. When I saw the 48% discount on GolfNow, I jumped at the chance to play it again and am glad I did. Impeccable course condition.

You will not be bored with this well designed course. The greens are excellent.

The course was not as good as I would have imagine it to be. The workers were only so/so, the pace was terrible as we waited on 16 of 18 holes. The design was nice, but there are better in Fla for the price. Use Golfnow to get discount because it would not be worth paying the full price. I played S&S a few years ago and liked it better. As far as recommending to a friend maybe just to say you played WGV, but not because of the course itself.

I agree completely with 10/30/2014 review. The course had been recently overseeded, the fairways were wet (rain, dew, watering), and it was cart path only. None of this was mentioned in golfnow reservation. My wife and I had to take 2-3 clubs, range finder, and divot sand back and forth on every shot. It was not fun. There were several crews doing work on the bunkers. We quit after 9 holes and we are not quitters. The course should have been closed. We saw only one other group of golfers on the course.

This course was fantastic. The greens and fairways were awesome! The marshals were great. The weather was great in the end of October.
The only downers are Golfnow still shows that the course has GPS included and it does not...and this course is a little higher priced than the sister course the Slammer and the Squire but does not clean your clubs or include a shuttle from or to your car... so im just not sure why it would be higher priced?

Took my friend to the King and Bear for his birthday and we had a great time. We were paired with a couple from London and the wife, who is 70 years old, scored a 77. Amazing time!

The course was in beautiful condition except it
had been freshly seeded and we were asked not
to use golf cart on fairways only on cart paths.
It made it a long walk and very bad for selecting the correct club for the distance you had to guess when
walking to your ball. Had we told this when reservation was made at Golf Now we would not
have played this course as my wife has problem with her knees and this made it unbearable for her.

When I booked this tee time for myself and three senior friends from out of state, I didn't have a clue that the course would be CART PATH ONLY due to overseeding. Had I known this in advance, we would not have booked it. Since the fees were paid on line,we couldn't get a refund,so we went ahead and played, as we were already there. Two of my guests are super seniors(both 78). They were not happy golfers,and could not finish the round,or play the next day. This course carrys a pretty hefty fee,even through Golf Now, and I feel we should have been notified prior to booking,or at the booking process.
We highly recommend the course to others ,but are very discouraged with Golf Now right at this moment, and will take precautions before booking again.

The coarse is very nice, but was not told when made the reservation a few days prior to my arrival that they had over-seeded and it was path only. I understand the reason for that, but find it unacceptable to not be told that as a disclaimer. Arrived at the coarse expecting to have breakfast, options were a muffin or a heated sandwich.

The coarse is very nice, one that I would play regularly if I were in the area. The food options in the clubhouse are slim to none. The pace of play is terrible.

I really enjoyed this course. I was paired up with 2 others and had a very enjoyable round. The course was in great shape. The greens were very consistent with a smooth roll. I would recommend this course to everyone.

Don't be intimidated by this course ladies it's actually very playable
