A masterpiece!

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!

World class golf

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!

One of the best in North Florida

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.

We felt like we were treated like pros!

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!

Beautifully maintain but slow pace of play.

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.

Beautiful course

Played here on Black Friday so pace was a but slow but we didn't mind because this is a beautiful golf course. The fairways and greens were immaculate and the many water and waste areas made you think about your shot. The staff was awesome and we got a great deal thru Golfnow. Definitely a course to be played.

Beautiful, challenging course

Course was in great condition, has many picture worthy, challenging holes. Excellent practice facility included in green fee. Pace of play was on the slow side and "player assistant" was missing in action. Otherwise, it was definitely worth the trip. The reduced price green fee offered by Golf Now made the overall value better than the normal rack rate.

Great course well managed and friendly.

Layout is fair with few forced carries and fairly easy doglegs to maneuver around. Staff very friendly and helpful made the round even better. Kind of pricey but worth it. Course is in excellent playing shape.

Great value and quality for the money!

We really enjoyed the course. The pace was great. We finished in less than 4 hours. The greens were fast avenging! They were in great shape as were the fairways. The personnel were very kind. The starter was especially helpful and kind.
It was a great day of relaxation and enjoyment!

As written up

Course was fantastic. Greens immaculate, fairways a little spongy due to the rain but still excellent play. Played in the morning and we were not pushed at all. Played less than 4 hours. Will definately play again..

To bad it rained all day the day before

Great course, maintained well, greens were just over seeded, but playable. Rained all day the day before, so fairways were a little soggy, but over all a great experience. Would definitely play again & recommend to friends

great course.... under normal conditions....

Fairways were in transition, greens we're sanded. It would not be fair to review it now.

Beautiful course and very playable.

I have played here four or five times and I think this was the best conditions so far. All golfers should try this course when they are in Florida just for the experience. My brother and I were placed with another couple from Tennessee and we enjoyed time spent with them. You can just get the feeling that people are happy being there.

Setting the Bar

The Slammer and Squire is setting the bar for the golfing experience. From the moment you're picked up in the parking lot to that last sip of your beer at the bar/grille 'The Slammer' delivers. The course is in perfect condition with each whole presenting its own set of challenges and fun. Plush fairways, smartly placed sand traps, undulating greens encourage and challenge every level of player. Mix that with the people, practice range, and cold apples at the turn and you've just had one the best golfing experiences you will have. Booking is a little pricey at $80-$150 but if you can find a better deal or use your GolfNow rewards the value is unmatched! I'll be back for sure :-)

Course is in great shape.

We are both 15 handicap. We enjoyed playing this course, very challenging. Greens in great condition. They were overseeding the course but conditions were very good. It was windy so not easy to reach greens in regulation on pars 4.

Not good. Living on its reputation.

The facilities were very nice and the staff very courteous and friendly. That's the good part. Sand traps were damp and packed down solid as if they are never groomed. Greens were bumpy as if they were never rolled and the holes were ragged around the edges. Maintenance needs to seriously get on the ball. First time playing there and seriously disappointed.
