Great setting.

Great course, only unfortunate thing was the course was being overseeded and carts were on cart path only. Cart paths are about 20 to 40 yards off fairway so it was a long day with a lot of walking.

Good course

This was my first time playing this course and it is a great layout. My only complaint is that I played the day after a heavy rain and the course was soaked and it was cart path only. The greens were perfect and fast. there is also water on almost every hole that made it very challenging. You may want to use 3 wood instead of driver on a few holes to be safe.

Scenic Beauty !!!

This course is a must play, challenging yet fair. Although it was cart paths only due to 2 inches of rain the night before, the course was in great shape. Fast greens, immaculate fairways. Cant wait to play it again !!

NICE COURSE - WELL TAKEN CARE OF - FAIR TEST

Not pristine - but this is October in Florida.
Nice design with risk reward and only "fair punishment" if you terribly mishit or make a foolish choice.
No apples when we played :-)
Staff is very pleasant and "down to earth."
Altogether a really good value at the low rate I got using golfnow.com.
Everyone should play here at least once if you are in the area!

The course was in great shape.

Well let me state how professional World golf village was. On arrival found out Slammer and Squire course was cart path only. They in return allowed us to play the King and Bear course for no extra charge. We had a great time and the course was in super shape!

Hal of Fame Backdrop

The course is well maintained. The layout demands good shot making ability. Staff were freindly and the starter was extremely helpful explaining all the course features.
The only bad point was they were overseeding and it was cart paths only. Try the iced apples on 0ne and ten tee ....Great touch.

Golf now was wonderful. see comments below

I mistakenly booked the tee time twice. When I go confimations, I called Golfnow immediately and the personnel were just absolutely wonderful and courteous. They were able to cancel one tee time for me. What a great service to their customers.

A great experience!

To start off, I played "tpc sawgrass stadium course" exactly one week prior to king and bear and was still in shock and awe from that....

With that in mind, I still was completely thrilled and impressed with this course. Staff was extremely accesible at any moment and were extremely courteous to myself and guest. (Was my first time playing here.)

Conditions were pristine and that was after a nigh and early morning of florida rain on the course. Greens were splendid.

Wish there were some extra complimentary apples on 1 and 10 but it was still a great experience. A more costly outing for the "weekend golfer" but is absolutely a course i will frequent on special holidays and birthdays as a gift!

Also, the cold towles stored in mango left a wonderful impression on me. ITS THE LITTLE THINGS!

GO PLAY IT ATLEAST ONCE!

The sand traps needed attention, such as putting in sand

The course overall was in good shape except for a lot of the sand traps needed attention, such as putting in sand. Once a sand shot was hit, wet sand or dirt woould come up and the surface under the shot was hard because of the lack of sand.

Never a disappointment; beautifully maintained

Took advantage of a free Golf Now Rewards deal and played the course with two gentlemen from "across the pond". As always, this course is meticulously maintained and just enough of a challenge to keep the game interesting. Take advantage of the iced apples in the barrel on Hole 1 and 10.

Pristine condition and playability

Its been over 5 years since I last played the King and Bear and it was the same then as now. Superb condition course as you would expect from the World Golf Village. Greens was the best I putted on this year. Although it was packed and the round was long, it was certainly enjoyable and the marshals kept things. Moving a must play if you are visiting the Jacksonville area.

good condition

the course is in pretty good condition, but they had put some top dressing on the greens the morning I played. It didn't mess with your putting too much.
