Great course

Always love the course, but this year the greens seem to be having trouble recovering from being punched,, Others in the area have come back great with all the rain and sun

Challenging without tight fairways

The design of the King & Bear is spot on. With so many Florida courses controlled by tight fairways lined with trees and water, the King & Bear is refreshing. It had trees and water, but they were well enough off the fairway to afford some off-line hits. Its challenge came from sloping fairways and protected greens. Very well kept and the exceptional service is not typical.

The Bar has been set here

Have stayed at the Marriott nearby on several occassions and this was my first time playing here. The course was extremely fair as if you hit the fairway, you had great lies, but if you hit it into the rough, you did get penalized, but not too exteme. The course was marked extremely well and the cold apple at the turn was very good!! The people at the course were extrmely frfiendly, including a guy from High Point that had retired from military. I would play here again and suggest it to anyone without blinking an eye. Tough but fair and very scenic if you like seeing gators..but not too close.

King and Bear

The course was in great condition, even with punched greens. They had a tournament earlier in the day so I had to wait for a cart. Otherwise a pleasant experience, and will go back.

Course is Over Priced

No complaints about course condition or staff. The course was in good condition, but we played other courses nearby that were better. St Johns Country Club was the best course we played, and we payed less than half what we payed at WGV. I guess we payed for the name but will not do it again.

King and Bear Nice Layout and Great Condition

Enjoyed playing the King and Bear and personally believe the layout is more interesting than the Squire and Slammer course with water coming into play on many of the holes. I've played both courses and believe paying a little more to play the King and Bear is definitely worth it. The apples on ice on 1st and 10th holes is a nice treat in the hot summer weather as well. The only thing I experienced that could not be considered positive was the fact I bought a hat in the clubhouse and found an additional charge on the receipt for resort fee that I thought was kind of cheesy.
Just figured it would be better for the consumer to show that in the original price rather than including it as a surprise. Course is maintained at a high level with consistent fast greens throughout. The staff is very accommodating and the cart service around the course is timely.

Well Designed

Played before, but I met up with 3 guys who were fun to play with. Tough course if you get off of the fairways. Greens fast and true

short duration between tee times

Made the trip out for a Tuesday hoping for a smooth round. Being a hot Florida day, there were several groups getting out early, I was shocked at the short duration between tee times, i believe 9 min. Given the price, i would have expected more.
Course was in great shape, fairways and greens. Landing areas were friendly, then tightening up with few run up opportunities as i expected from a Nicklaus design.

Excellent Day at King and Bear

We were made very welcome on arrival, despite our booking overlapping with their Ladies Member Guest tournament. Course was in great shape from tee to green. We had to skip one hole to by pass the Ladies shoot out - Very politely explained and we were invited to complete the hole later - complimentary drinks and sandwiches were provided for us - a really excellent day
Thank you we will be back soon
