World Golf Village

Nice course in good condition, especially greens. Most fairways lined with houses which was not very appealing. I showed up as a single about 30 minutes before my tee time and the starter insisted I go out immediately with a two-some who were already on the tee. Otherwise I would have to wait until 45 minutes past my tee time. So I didn't get to warm up. I thought the course was overpriced compared with similar courses in the area.

We had several days of rain. It stopped when we got to the course. Had the course almost totally to ourselves.
The course is immaculate and would love to play it in dry conditions.
In wet conditions it played extremely long.

Arrived an hour early. The range facilities are excellent and there is no additional charges for
the balls. The 3 of us played as part of the Golf
Now rewards program and could not have made
a better choice. Course is impeccable!!

The course was challenging but not overly impossible. Good course for all levels but if you are long ball hitter, you must be accurate. Course was in very good shape.

Reserved tee time got there early catching a flight later (into snow storm ny flight set for 6:27 boarded at 10 pm but thats another story) driving range for a bit then asked if wanted to play alone or pair up nice that had option.Paired up pace of play was great no waiting at tee box, course was great shape. better than 4 course played prior 4 days (had to get it in while there) looking back would have played both course's there for the four days i had. Would recommend .P.S the pair I played with said it was much better shape than sawgrass champion

Good time. Was disappointed that the greens condition was not divulged, but other than that, this is the WGV course you want to play. Challenging, nice layout, good elevation changes.

Awesome golf course. We enjoyed the hospitality, conditions and speed of greens. Did not appreciate the amount of visits from the " player assistants" keeping up with our pace of play.

This course never disappoints. I always enjoy the
course and the practice facilities are superb.

It was raining when my 3 some arrived. The course was empty. The pro shop desk refused to give us a  rain check. Informed us the course was cart path only, it was so wet you couldn't drive on the course if you tried anyway. If you have never played there , most of the course was once swamp.So you can imagine what it was like after a couple of days of steady rain. Anyway you couldn't make a shot from the fairway with anything but an iron because the water just grabbed a fairway wood. Iron shots weren't much better. By the third hole my pants were wet and muddy to the knees from walking the soaked course. We were the only ones out there as well.

If you're in the Jacksonville area but can't get on TPC, King & Bear is a fabulous (and far more affordable) alternative. While a championship-caliber design by Nicklaus & Palmer, it's certainly far more forgiving than the Stadium. The course makes nice use of waste areas and water hazards and is beautified with loads of fountain grass and rock walls along the water. I suppose if I had to nitpick on design, I found that if you missed a green you almost always ended up in a bunker, but maybe I just had bad luck that day. I'd prefer to see a few more run-off areas around greens, which seems to be the trend recently. Having said that, fairways are very forgiving and while the course is part of a residential community, homes are well off the playing corridors.

Conditions and facilities are about as good as it gets in the area, with a gorgeous clubhouse with a full dining room and bar.

This was the first time ever golfing out of the state of Kansas. And boy did I get spoiled! The play of the course was great for a golfer with a long drive. I would love to go back. And when I do I'm gonna visit the world golf hall of fame and its sister course Slammer and Squire.

This course is not cheap to play, but is worth every penny of the fees.
Course was in great shape. I have played all over the
US including Hawaii, plus Canada, these were the
best greens I have ever putted .

Really fantastic course, gorgeous hole after gorgeous hole. Everything was in perfect condition and the staff was great too. On the pricey side but definitley a must play in the area

Gorgeous course! It's too bad when I showed up I was told that I was not getting a GPS unit even though my reservation said I did, also was given a scorecard that was already used (of course I didn't notice that until I finished the first hole), and a random twosome was allowed to jump in front of us at the turn. These issues were just a few. Outside of that, the course was great and challenging. Not easy at all! I probably will not ever play here again though. Not worth the $150+ fee. Slammer & Squire is a FAR better experience. There are a ton of nice courses out there so unless you're dead set on playing here, you will get equal condition, better value and better service for half the cost or less somewhere else!

We got a good deal, otherwise the 169 USD regular rate would have been our limit for playing the course.
Arnold palmer and Jack Nicklaus did a great job when creating this fantastic course. We played at excellent weather, were very welcome by the helpful and friendly staff.
The course is winding thru various neighbourhoods but still creates a feeling of being in the nature. We liked all 18 holes but the last 9 were even nicer than the first ones. Water on almost every hole makes it challening but the fairways allow slices and hooks, at least most of them. Lot's of bunkers which make it require to have a strategy before you hit the ball, fine quartz sand in bunkers though. The course was in excellent condition, the greens could have been a little more undulated but they are challenging anyway.
If you're in the area, play it you won't regret it!

Was allowed to play alone which is important to senior at the age of 83!

What a treat is was to play the Slammer and the Squire. The greens were nice and the overseeding of the fairways made them perfect. The course had a nice variety of holes. The apples in a barrel were a nice touch but playing such a nice course on a hot deal was fabulous!

Whenever I get the urge to treat myself to a great round of golf -- perfect greens, challenging layout, well marshaled pace of play and excellent customer service -- this is the course I think of Northeast Florida. If you're a fan of golf architecture and seeing how the designers used the topography of the land to create natural settings, King & Bear is also a must visit. No it's not your typical muni or semi-private and you will have to pay a bit more, but it's worth it. Just remember to check your ego at the door, play the forward tees and remind yourself why you enjoy playing this game.

The best course we've ever played and will definitely come back again! Apple barrels full of iced down fresh apples was a great feature too!

Staff was very accomodating and the course is beautifully maintained. The greens were pristine and running about 10 1/2 according to the starter. My only knock is they had a single join my wife and me at the turn, and the back nine took more than 2 1/2 hours because the course was so backed up.
Good value for the rate we paid.
