Really nice course.

Great in a aspects! Staff was awesome. Course was in pristine condition. Get there early to take advantage of the range and chipping green. Will definitely play this course more often.

first rate course as one expects

full rack rate is a bit over priced. look for the golf now hot rate and it's worth it.

Very nice course.

Course was in excellent condition. Staff from check in to starter to ranger were all very friendly. Pace of play could be improved as we waited at almost every tee. You will have to be able to play your tee shots left-right or right-left depending on the hole. Greens are quick and the breaks are deceiving. A very challenging and humbling course.

Nice course but the prestige of being in the World Golf Village makes it an expensive treat.

The course was in good condition and I played with a member and his wife who were the nicest people. In my opinion is not a 169+tax course but more of a 120.

Great Layout

Played the Blue Tees - Appoximately 6300-6500 yds, I believe. Most holes are straight forward with ample landing areas. Great variety of holes, every club in your bag will probably be used. Green complexes outstanding -smooth and fast greens. Nice, well maintained bunkers.

One of the nicer courses that I've played. Good practice putting green, practice hole, and range.

No GPS on carts as advertised. Used my rangefinder. Course is located approximately 3-4 miles away from Golf Hall of Fame - next visit will play Slammer and Squire which is conveniently located right at the World Golf Village/Hall of Fame.

Fast Greens

If your after the challenge of a Professional this would be the course. Only a couple days after very heavy rains the course was in excellent shape. A lot of workers were out making sure the course was in pristine shape. Two cart girls circling so you didn't have to wait for anything.

slow but great

This course is a resort course and pretty crowded, but definitely a great test and great value. It has well maintained greens and fairways and the staff and practice areas are top notch. The pace of play and wait off the tee will slow you down.

Great Course

We had a great time at the Slammer and Squire. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the course was in great shape, and although the round was 5 hours, we still had a good time. I will be playing this course again.

If you are travelling to Florida put this course on your wish list.

I got a tee time as a single and was paired with a single and a twosome. When you arrive you are transported by shuttled to the pro shop. After checking in you have use of the range. It is all you would expect of a pro facility. Also there is a bar and grill above the pro shop with views of the course, range and the Hall of Fame. We had a 2:05 tee time following a 1:30 shotgun start on 1-12. We did not have to wait after the third hole and were not pushed until a twosome caught up to us on the16th. The greens were transitioning from winter rye to Bermuda so you could see some brown in the grain. This did not effect the roll of the ball. These were the best greens I have ever played. The condition of the fairways, ruff and traps were just as good as it gets. The course wanders through a natural setting with only a few holes near any buildings. At time you have views of the WGV and The Hall of Fame. bring a camera.

Loved the course!

If I could have stayed out of the bunkers - a nearly impossible task with the number there are - I would have had a chance to shoot my handicap. It was a fantastic day!

Great Course

This course is totally pristine and absolutely beautiful, as well as a challenge to play. If you're lucky, you might see a few of the local residence swimming in the water holes. (alligators).

absolutely fantastic course

Jack Nicklas design...lots of bunkers. Bring your best short game, greens and entire course is in fantastic condition. Bunkers are very deep but sand is soft and fluffy, still a challenge to get out.

Phenomenal - A MUST

The course lives up to the rep of the names it bears, no pun intended. Played the black tees. Driving the ball is a premium or you will have long approaches or be living in the lakes. The whole experience was top notch.

No Bang for the Buck....

Was hoping that the course was BETTER than it's "sister course" the Slammer and Squire, but was definitely wrong. Play was LONG and the course did not manage the pace of play. Extremely slow groups and the only course warden was overloaded. The course was good, but the frustration build up due to slow play made the overall experience negative. Disappointed overall, but any bad day on the course beats a good day at work.
