World Golf Village

I like the layout. It tests working your ball right to left and left to right.
The greens are not as nice or not nearly as fast as St. John's CC but our price reduction thru GolfNow.com made this a good deal.
I would not pay the full price unless you can get a deal on GolfNow.
Play St. Johns CC for way less than this course's full fare if you cannot get a price reduction on GolfNow.com. If you get the reduction for The King and Bear, then play this course over St.John's CC, even with a slightly higher price for The K&B!!

I thought the layout was very nice, not too challenging but hardly easy. It was complete with wild life, even a gator. The guy in the pro shop said the course was about 85% and he was accurate. I appreciate honesty. The only issue I had is the greens. The greens were thin in some areas and not consistent with speed. Not many of the greens were consistent. didnt seem the grass was mature at this point on the calendar. Do I plan on playing again, if I do and I want to, I need to know that the King and Bear deliver some professional greens for professional green! and not just an apple..

The greens were not in good shape.

Have played around Jacksonville the whole month and these were the worst.

Have played here before and they were excellent.

Not good for the price.

Would still play again, but ask about green condition.

One of my favorite tracks in North Florida. Tough test from any tee. Always in great shape.

First time playing this course . I just so happened to be in the mecca of golf states. Well first off the greens were excellent the staff was oh so friendly. Had a tee time for 5:46 got there early no problem still was able to warm up and head out early. Price wise maybe could be a little cheaper. I needed to rent some clubs and he gave me a great discount. No one held me up the greens were beautiful and fast tough course though open fairways

Great facility! Everyone was very helpful and friendly!
The course was in great shape. As a threesome we got around in 3hrs 20min. Anxious to go back!

A course you will be glad you played. Well worth the experience. T entire staff made me feel very welcome.

Really enjoyed this course although the weather could have been better, lol. The entire staff was very friendly and made me feel extremly welcome. Would reccomend this as a must play.

I love this course because the grounds are always well cared for, the greens are large and receptive, and the fairways, though narrow, are never ragged-looking. The staff are polite and friendly and I've never had to play as a single.

Conveniently right next to the world golf hall of fame, this place is unreal. Perfect fairways and greens. Challenging, but true. A must play for any golfer. Its such a beautiful course. Sand and water play into most shots and fairways are narrow, so your approaches have to be spot on. Book it!

This place is any golfers dream. Beautiful holes. Sand and water play heavily into most approaches, but fairly wide fairways. Pristine fairways and greens roll true. A must play for any golfer!

The course was good except for the greens which were in poor condition. Expected more from a course that charges 4Xs as much as other courses in the area.

Great conditions (weather, course, and facilities). Held up a little by twosome playing slow (we were a foursome). Only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars everywhere was pace of play (average) and cost of round at about $90.

Very nice facility, friendly and helpful staff, and the course was in great shape (other than the traps being packed sand at the bottoms).

The King and Bear is a great place to play. Excellent condition, challenging layout.

I was in town for business and extended it one day to make sure and play King & Bear. The prices on GolfNow.com were $169 up until 2 days before I played. I had read that you could find a good deal if you waited until a few days before. I was able to find a "Hot Deal" on golfnow.com for $99. I am from Arizona and right now it is hard to find a goat track for less tha $50/round, so I was okay with paying $99. The course was in fantastic shape. The greens ran fast, but were fair. I am a 4 handicap and played from the Black tees (they don't leave the "stone" tee boxes out there for regular play. The blacks were still a challenge at 6,800 yards. What I liked most about the course is that every hole is different. Some bend left others right. Most require driver, but playing a 3 wood or long iron off a few make more sense. Trees, bunkers, and water all come into play throughout the course. Loved it and would recommend it to any decent golfer (less than 20 handicap).

Great day, great weather, greens were true, fairways in great shape, a little tighter than its sister course, loved the layout, would not hesitate to play it again. Staff, club house and overall facilities the best. Got a decent rate off list price from golf now what more could you ask for.

The course was ok but the greens had just been sanded and no one said anything. Was some of the worse greens I have played in a long time. Would not play this course again.

Came down from Augusta. Course condition was very good. Staff was very friendly. Apples on 1 and 10 were outstanding. Joined up with two very nice gents. Will try Squire and Slammer next visit, but wouldn't hesitate
to play King and Bear again.

For a premium course in great shape, one should expect a better pace. We were told pace was averaging 4 Hrs 10 Min. We walked off the 14th green at that mark. Don't know how long the round would have been due to having to leave after 16 to catch a flight. But it would have been about 5:20.
