Very noisy

Course is very close to Interstate 95, at times it felt like you were playing in the breakdown lane. Workers on the course had no consideration for the players.

Course was in fantastic condition and the staff was great.

Fairways were in pristine shape, rough was long but playable and sand traps and bunkers were in very good condition. the greens were in very good shape and played fairly fast but not out of control for the average golfer. We played as a twosome with no one holding us up in front or pushing us from behind. Amenities included red delicious apples in ice water at number 1 and 10 tees, and wet iced towels on holes 7 and 15 that helped lower the temperature considerably. Outstanding service.

The course to play.

I am new to the Jacksonville area and have played seven different courses now. This was the best of them all. I enjoyed this course as much as TPC Sawgrass. It was in beautiful shape. The greens were true and speedy but still held approaches and chips. The driving range and warm up area was great and the staff was the most friendly, professional staff I have ever encountered. A must play course.

Great Course

King and Bear looked great, the only thing I didnt really like was that you could still see where they had punched the greens. There wasnt any holes but it looked like they didnt fill the holes with enough sand. Other than that very nice course and the staff was great. The price was steep but if you get the hot deal its not so bad

Beautiful course, well maintained, fun to play

Except for the rain-shortened round, this was a great time. Will definitely play again.

Beautiful course!

The staff was very friendly and it made you feel like a pro. i would liked to have seen a little more hills and harder holes, but the course was very nice.

Crown Jewel of the WGV.

This is a fine course. Absolutely beautiful. The staff was super friendly. The course was in fine shape. The course had recently been aerated but had bounced back very nicely. Fairways and tees in super shape. We thoroughly enjoyed our round. My only knock is that this course is a bit pricey for your average golfer. The course wasn't very busy especially for a Sat afternoon. Every golfer should play this course at least once.

Normally a great place to play

However - I don't think it's right that they charge $129 for a course that's recently aerated their greens. Greens were bumpy and slow. Also - tried to grab a bite at the turn (at 3PM) and the kitchen was closed already.

Good Florida Course

I have played this course 4 or 5 times over the years and it is always in good shape. The greens looked like they had been punched a few weeks earlier but they ran fine. If you are a design nut like I am you can definetely tell which holes are Jack's and which are Arnold's.
Most people prefer this course to Slammer and Squire, I am not one of them. While it is the nicer walk with more picturesque views, I prefer the track at S&S. I have played at WGV about 20 times, and I have choosen to play S&S most of them.
Both however are always in great shape and fun to play. Play both of them back to back and choose which one you like best. Hard to go wrong with either course.

Great layout, transitioning from aeration but still on good shape. One of the higher greens fees in the area though.

K&B is one of the best courses around, a real treat to play. Played about three weeks after aeration but it will be in perfect condition by mid July and will remain that way all summer.

Not bad for the discounted price

Greens were a little bumpy and of average speed--found that disappointing. Fairways and boxes were in great shape. Rough is challenging. Played behind a foursome of members. On the 13th hole we were 40 mins behind per the marshall. Round took over 5 hours. They would not open the tips, which forced a friend I played with to play at 6800. He fired a 68 in large part because he could sting it around with a 3 wood all day. Overall not a bad course for the discounted price. No way worth the full price. There are a couple of courses in St. Johns county that are better buys.

This course is a class act.

They really take care of you here. From the parking lot to the first tee you are made very welcome. The course was fantastic. I look forward to going back again.

Great course

Great course , awesome layout I will say the greens are a bit hard and bumpy but they will be back. Expensive though. They need to come down on the price for locals. Locals can play other courses that are better or equal for a much better price. Nonetheless it's a fun course to play.

nice layout

The course had recently been aerated and I asked at the counter when I checked in and the person told me it was fine and the greens were rolling like normal. In fact he asked me if I played a few weeks ago and I said no. The truth is the fairways and greens still had holes. I was disappointed in that.

Nothing Special

It was a fun day, however, I don't plan on returning any time soon. There is nothing that sets this course apart from others closer to my home. The cost is out of line line with a facility of this quality. Like everything else in St. Augustine, it is old and over priced. The employees are fantastic and are the best suprise about the club. Cold, delicious apples await you on the first & tenth tee box. Now that is a great touch!
