Challenging

Thought this course a little more challenging than the King & Bear course.

Course Condition

The only reason for the good condition was due to the rain that the area has had, left for soft fairways in areas.

Worth every penny!

The course was in very good condition, the staff very friendly and helpful and I played on a perfect day. All the things a golfer hopes for every time we play.
I have played this track a dozen or more times and have been pleased each and every time. If I were to join a club again, it would be this one.

great course to play

the only thing could be a little better view from tee box on some holes if brush was a bit lower for better views where fairway was. the day had some rain and sunshine mixed. got a great deal from golf now 30 percent off. got to play a great course watch the golf chanel for that deal wow.

Great Course

I really like this course. Fun layout, some challenging par 3s. The greens were still recovering from being punched, but they were still pretty fast. Beautiful clubhouse! I will definitely play here again.

Play K and B...get free apple!

Awesome course...one of my favorites in the area. Pace of play was kind of slow but that may be expected with the difficulties of some of the holes. Booked thru GolfNow and got a excellent rate. Looking forward to returning and playing again.

Great course, aerated greens

Third time in this course & it never disappoints! Great range, great staff, great time.

The course was aerated about 3 weeks ago & it looked like they just gave it a second sanding so it was a little bumpy. Though this was the case, it was still quite fast on the greens & it looks like it will be fully back in about 1 - 1/12 weeks time.

Would highly recommend for the price right now, very much worth it!

Overall very nice with a few let downs

I have not been there for about 1 1/2 years. Participated in a 4-person scramble for Folds of Honor. Outside staff very friendly and very helpful. Practice facilities are close to clubhouse and cart staging which is great when in a tournament when carts cannot be moved. Hot and humid morning and course adviser was out early with cold towels. Nice job! there were a few greens that needed some major attention on the collars where the turf is dead and bear dirt. staff needs to get sod patches so the grass can regrow.
Downfalls: no yardage books available for purchase at front desk. answer was that they are getting new ones made. Course has not changed so why out?
Water feature between the 16th green and 17th Tee box was not working and looks as if it has been forgotten. When course first opened, this feature that Jack and Arnold designed was beautiful and the water was circulated from the lower pond to the upper by a pump house. Now the feature is full of weeds, mildew and algae since the water does not move. Hope someone reads this and brings it back to life. Would be nice to hear the running water in a quiet corner of the course.
Bonus: Compressed air hose at shoe cleaning station outside clubhouse to blow out/off the dirt and grass from your shoes.

Very Wet

St. Augustine has gotten a lot of rain - course was playing 90 degree rule. Some bunkers washed out, pin positions haven't changed in awhile - all resulting from way to much rain. Wait a week or so before you play - it should dry out.

KIDDING ME ?

We were asked to let a group of members through when it was already backed up.Im all for golf etiquette but we were made to let members through then go sit and wait on next box with the @ssholes... was priceless...Not to mention they both shanked next .
drive into woods...again priceless..south hampton and st johns gacc are much better. they only cater to members when necessary..which is more than understandable!!!!Will not be back..make it a private course.let all the members pump all the money into it.so they can complain then shank it in the woods...

Beautiful Course

I have now played King & Bear and Slammer & Squire. Have to say both are above avg price and worth it. For my money, I actually liked S&S a little better. Course was in amazing shape considering the amount of rain and storms in the area. Fairways and greens rewarded good shots. Starter and staff were very friendly. Very enjoyable experience. I will be back.

Great day at the King

We had a great round at the King & Bear Sunday. I thought the staff was extra friendly and very nice to us all day long. It was hot, hot, hot and they had towels and water for us on the course. The course by the way was in great condition, greens terrific and we enjoyed the day. It was a little busy so gave the pace of play 4 Stars instead of five, but all the players in front us moved it as fast as they could. It was just busy.

Good not great

Roughs were tall and balls were difficult to locate once they rolled into the rough. Course unremarkable in design, nothing special. Fairways were in good shape..

This course has a very straightforward layout

The layout was very straight forward; by that I mean not tricked up. Only one or two doglegs on the course and fairly large greens. The fairways were also pretty forgiving with large bunkers. There was water on the course, but it did not really come into play. Just a nice, fun round of golf. You know Pete Dye was not in the area!

King & Bear was awesome

Being new to the area, it was the first chance I had to play and I was not disappointed at all. I booked single, and requested to remain single, and they made it happen. Pace of play was a little slow, but I was single with a 3-some in front, so thats to be expected. Course was in excellent condition considering the huge amount of rain in the area lately. Staff was very friendly. I will definitely play again.

Excellent Hot Deal!!!

Finally playing the course for the 1st time since moving to the area a year ago. With so many great and cheap courses in the area I was reluctant to pay $89 for this place until Yesterday with a $37+ tax deal don't get me wrong Have fun there course was in good shape, Staff was the best part very friendly and helpful, green were rolling true and fairways in good conditions Also. Not a $89+ kind of course, but there's a Resort and Golf Hall Of Fame also its pure Branding!! No more than $60 for this course, one close by Way Better and Cheaper
