World Golf Village

Took advantage of a free Golf Now Rewards deal and played the course with two gentlemen from "across the pond". As always, this course is meticulously maintained and just enough of a challenge to keep the game interesting. Take advantage of the iced apples in the barrel on Hole 1 and 10.

Its been over 5 years since I last played the King and Bear and it was the same then as now. Superb condition course as you would expect from the World Golf Village. Greens was the best I putted on this year. Although it was packed and the round was long, it was certainly enjoyable and the marshals kept things. Moving a must play if you are visiting the Jacksonville area.

Friend and I got a great Golf Now Hot Deal for the course, Lucky us, had a great round, excellent pace, super friendly staff from start to finish. Will play again!

the course is in pretty good condition, but they had put some top dressing on the greens the morning I played. It didn't mess with your putting too much.

We had a great time here and when we did not have our driving licence the friendly staff escorted us from the gate to the course and back which was much appreciated. We found the course in great shape and fun to play, we will definitely recommend to anybody coming to the area to play it.

From the moment that I arrived, the cart people, inside staff and the starter were very helpful. The course the layout was great. Would play this course again.

We made a mid-week trek to St Augustine from Orlando to take advantage of a free round from GolfNow rewards. Thanks GN!

We played the King and the Bear course and were very pleased. The staff was outstanding, from the guys at the bag drop, to the pro-shop staff, starter, and cart girl. The only slight miscue was the ranger on the course, who, while pleasant, seemed unable/unwilling to engage one 4-some that was holding up 3 groups behind with their slow play. Fortunately that 4-some took a longish break at the turn and we were all able to slide by them.

Course conditions were great. Greens had been punched 5 or 6 weeks ago and were still just a little grainy, but other than that, the course was pristine. The layout was challenging with a good mix of longer holes and some very good risk/reward short holes. A lot of water and sand, so keep it straight off the tee. Fortunately, the fairways are generous and the greens were receptive to a well struck approach. No GPS on the cart so I highly recommend spending the $7 to buy a yardage book to keep you out of trouble off the tee.

We chose the King and Bear course over the Slammer and Squire because it was a bit longer and rated a bit more difficult for our group of low single-digit players. Having said that, the course was very playable and less skilled players won't find it punishing if played from the tees that best suit their game.

We'll absolutely be back.

The course is fun and fair. They had punched the greens and tee boxes recently and did not include this information in an aeration alert on GolfNow. I think the courses should be put on notice when this happens as it is unfair to those of us who use the service. Otherwise, no problems. Beautiful course.

Great round with excellent service. The course was in terrific shape. The layout was challenging but very playable.

The temperature was above 98. Hot!!!! The course was great as there were very few players because of the weather and also in perfect condition. They had a huge barrel of chilled in ice apples at the 10th tee for refreshments which I considered an unexpected pleasure. Throughout the round they had an ambassador riding around offering chilled towels to cool down. Both these gestures were free and were beyond what one might expect therefore justifying the higher price charges. I would definitely play there again through GolfNow.com. The regular rates were a bit stiff for me as I'm retired.

the marshall should be more proactive to advise slow players, otherwise play was good.

Enjoyed the layout. The course had been aerated 2 weeks before which I knew. Obviously greens were not in normal shape. Will play again. Like the chilled apples after 9 holes. Awesome practice facility. Would not pay full price to play....worth playing for the Golf Now discounted pm price.

Great course to play. Just went through the airarization process so the course was not in its best condition but great views and super friendly staff makes up for a great day. My wife and I always enjoy this course and we will continue to play here in the future!

Nice course although just airified. Saw the beverage cart for the first time on 8th hole. She said she would see us on the back nine and we never saw her again!!!

Great experience! Great design and in immaculate shape. The greens were a little bumpy due to aeration approximately 2 weeks ago, but not a problem. Thanks to golf now we paid $64.00 instead of $129.00!

Green were aerated and sanded but other than that a must play.

I played king&bear with my dad a few days ago and was very impressed. The course had been aerated about ten days before so it was still recovering but we knew about this going and it was to th point that the course was very playable. I've played enough golf to see past the fact that is it undergoing routine work and realize this is definitely one of the top courses I've played. Will play again for sure. Being the only course designed by jack and arnie this is clearly a unique experience.

Yes I knew the greens were plug. I would hold off playing this course for the next three weeks. Every putt bounces off line unless you bang the putt.

Not worth the $ 109.00 Really only worth $ 30.00 then only if you want to play the layout and do not care about your score. You just can not putt these greens right now. They are really over charging for play right now.

Played with a guy from Orlando and he says the courses only charge a cart fee when they plug the greens for a couple of weeks.

I golfed by myself and the respected the fact I didn't want to be paired up. They let me go out as a single and up until the 16th hole I played alone. Great course for sure and if you get it for under $80 it's totally worth the $$$$.

Friendly staff, great course and looking forward to play it again.
