Great course! Cart path only because of over seeding, understandable. On course refreshments were highly overpriced.

Cart girl couldn't tell us how long it would be before she would be back around! Not even an approximation! Ordered 2 dbl Bloody Marys.....$32!!! Are you kidding me?!? I had ordered one inside at lunch and it was about $7-$8. I went in to ask the bartender why the difference, she told me she didn't charge me for a dbl that it should have been $12. She said that the $16 charge was for Ketel One (premium). Ok, I wasn't given a choice. Also, the cart girl's last round was our 7th hole...about 2:00-2:15. But other than that, it was a great round! Staff and bartender were great and the course was beautiful and in great shape!

As good as it gets

Golf course is excellent. Great condition, interesting to play with a good mix of golf holes and very fair. Lots of water on the course but mostly not in your line of play making it very playable.
5 star treatment from the staff and the apples are tasty !! Got a good discount on "golfnow", on my list of must plays if in the area again.

Hall of Fame King & Bear

What a fantastic day at King and Bear inside World Golf Village. The staff helped me from the 1st minute I arrived. Course conditions were great and they even over seeded a few days earlier. Only tee boxes and fairways were done, so the greens are absolutely perfect. It was cart path only, but it was an enjoyable walk. I hit balls in the AM, played 18 with 2 players from NYC for the gator/dawg football game. Had lunch then went out and practiced some more at their short game facility. Lunch? How about fresh Mahi fish tacos w/sweet potatoe fries and topped with a homemade dipping sauces. Delicious.Period. Server Linda.Keeper.
I have been living in the area a long time and somebody is doing something right here.
Classy place that has a terrific group of people.
Thanks again, I enjoyed it.

high dollar course rack rate is too high

Course in good shape. over-seeded fairways made cart path only necessary. Staff very friendly.

Great setting.

Great course, only unfortunate thing was the course was being overseeded and carts were on cart path only. Cart paths are about 20 to 40 yards off fairway so it was a long day with a lot of walking.

Good course

This was my first time playing this course and it is a great layout. My only complaint is that I played the day after a heavy rain and the course was soaked and it was cart path only. The greens were perfect and fast. there is also water on almost every hole that made it very challenging. You may want to use 3 wood instead of driver on a few holes to be safe.

Scenic Beauty !!!

This course is a must play, challenging yet fair. Although it was cart paths only due to 2 inches of rain the night before, the course was in great shape. Fast greens, immaculate fairways. Cant wait to play it again !!

NICE COURSE - WELL TAKEN CARE OF - FAIR TEST

Not pristine - but this is October in Florida.
Nice design with risk reward and only "fair punishment" if you terribly mishit or make a foolish choice.
No apples when we played :-)
Staff is very pleasant and "down to earth."
Altogether a really good value at the low rate I got using golfnow.com.
Everyone should play here at least once if you are in the area!

The course was in great shape.

Well let me state how professional World golf village was. On arrival found out Slammer and Squire course was cart path only. They in return allowed us to play the King and Bear course for no extra charge. We had a great time and the course was in super shape!

Hal of Fame Backdrop

The course is well maintained. The layout demands good shot making ability. Staff were freindly and the starter was extremely helpful explaining all the course features.
The only bad point was they were overseeding and it was cart paths only. Try the iced apples on 0ne and ten tee ....Great touch.

Golf now was wonderful. see comments below

I mistakenly booked the tee time twice. When I go confimations, I called Golfnow immediately and the personnel were just absolutely wonderful and courteous. They were able to cancel one tee time for me. What a great service to their customers.

A great experience!

To start off, I played "tpc sawgrass stadium course" exactly one week prior to king and bear and was still in shock and awe from that....

With that in mind, I still was completely thrilled and impressed with this course. Staff was extremely accesible at any moment and were extremely courteous to myself and guest. (Was my first time playing here.)

Conditions were pristine and that was after a nigh and early morning of florida rain on the course. Greens were splendid.

Wish there were some extra complimentary apples on 1 and 10 but it was still a great experience. A more costly outing for the "weekend golfer" but is absolutely a course i will frequent on special holidays and birthdays as a gift!

Also, the cold towles stored in mango left a wonderful impression on me. ITS THE LITTLE THINGS!

GO PLAY IT ATLEAST ONCE!

The sand traps needed attention, such as putting in sand

The course overall was in good shape except for a lot of the sand traps needed attention, such as putting in sand. Once a sand shot was hit, wet sand or dirt woould come up and the surface under the shot was hard because of the lack of sand.
