Disappointing Greens

The greens were very disappointing. To spend a $100 or more for 18 holes, the greens need to be in much better shape for early April in N. FLA!

Bucket List Course

Course is in beautiful condition.
Loved apple on 1st hole. There were suppose to be some on the tenth hole also but there were none!
If you are an average golfer do not challenge some of the water carries.

Just good, but nothing really outstanding

We wanted to play it, as we have heard a lot about it. It is a nice course in mostly very good condition, but to me it is not worth the two hours drive from Orlando. The place is overall in very good condition, T-boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens very mostly very good. But somehow it did not convince me a something very special. The layout is just – well – just a golf course – no hole was really breathtaking. The service was very good out there. As it was rather cold, the beverage cart girl was clever enough to offer hot coffee…

Service and condition wise a nice place, but to me it is not worth this high rate they ask…

Excellent driving range

For a resort course, I've played better. The fairways were excellent but the green speed was a little slow for my liking, probably around 9 on the stimp. Never saw a ranger or a beverage cart on the front nine. Took almost 5 hours to play. Our foursome waited on nearly all the tee boxes.

Course is in great shape

Each hole offered a different look. The fairways are wide open as this is a Resort Course. The greens are difficult - multiple levels on each green, and the back of several greens slope away, so multiple shots at the pins rolled off the green. Greens are on 4 to 6 feet pedestals, so chips are critical. Overall , I had a great time. Fairways the greens are in very good condition.

Somewhat disappointing

It appeared that most of the players on the course were average handicappers. Most were playing from the White tees. Possibly for the lower handicappers with the extended tee boxes, the course would be more interesting. I found it sadly lacking any real creative design or challenge. Did not ever see a "signature" type hole. Greens were pretty average in design and difficulty. I just recently played all the courses at Grand Cypress. This lay-out was pretty tame compared to those lay-outs and greens.

Great Place for Golf

Played King & Bear and Slammer & Squire. After paying over $400 to play TPC Sawgrass, it makes World Golf Village a great value. The course layout, conditions, staff and facility are all fantastic.
I highly recommend.

"Close the gap"

We had a blast at King and Bear. It was a perfect day for golf. The course was in great shape, fun and challenging. Most of the staff was wonderful.
My only issue was with the course ranger, who kept harping on us to "close the gap" between us and the group in front of us. They were two holes ahead of us and the group behind us was two holes back pretty consistently. We were a foursome (three low handicappers) playing "ready golf". This guy just wouldn't let up. He approached us three times, the last being on 13th green. We just drove by him. BTW, we got around in 4:05. Other than him...it was an excellent day and I'll definitely be back there soon. It's a little overpriced, but worth the experience. All in all, loved it.

Great layout, great staff, average condition

The Slammer and Squire course at The World Golf Village is a true resort course. They know how to keep you moving and get you through with a respectable four hour round on a pretty busy day. The staff is fantastic all the way around. The course itself is a fun resort style course with some great par threes. The greens were not in great shape with one of them even having repaired tire tracks on it but the fairways were solid. I can not complain about anything about this course and I would recommend it to friends. As a matter of fact since I am the trip planner for my group's buddy trips I will be adding this course to a Florida East Coast trip.

March golf

The sand traps were terrible. An inch of sand then hard packed mud. F airways had lots of unfixed divots. Many very nice golf holes, though. Generally I feel it was overpriced.

Arnold and Jack

Great course, I'm sure the course would be more pristine in summer or spring, fairways, tee boxes and green in great shape. Some of the bunkers could do with being a little bit better maintained.
Overall a must play

This Course is a "Must Play"

Any avid golfer should play this course simply because it is a collaboration between Nicklaus and Palmer. When I played, the weather was basically perfect and the course was in excellent condition, which I understand it basically always is. Very challenging but not to the point that you feel "beat up" after the round. It's pricey, but it's a bucket list course. so worth the hefty expenditure, at least on an occasional basis.

Good Day

The course and conditions were good and they should be for the high green fees. The attendants were very nice however at times it seemed we had little direction on we're to go. Overall it was a great experience for my son and I.
