King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

Great course in excellent shape from tee to green on every hole. Great layout, sure to present a challenge for all level of golfers. Weather was terrific, and paired with three others that help make the round even more enjoyable. Thanks GolfNow for this great deal.

great course- will be back...played with the strangest players...like playing by yourself...cart path only due to rains...course over seeded and had not had first post cutting...I had over looked playing this course for 8yrs...will look for good deals on surcharged golfnow in future

Course and staff were great. But got there and course was over seeded and my guest with a handicap flag could not even drive in rough. Made play very difficult and would not have gone had we known. Golfnow should provide that information at time of booking. Also, a junior tournament was happening which made pace of play 2:45 for 9 holes. Quit after 9 and took a rain check which they graciously allowed.

The only reason, i didn`t rate 5 Stars: Since the course was overseeded, we could not drive to our balls. And there is construction work along some fairways. The course condition is top, the Greens are fast, close to perfect.

This is one of the course's that you have to play. I definitely recommend the surf
Board cart

Not worth the money! You would be better off going to one of the other local courses.

Beautiful, albeit windy Fall day. Played as single, card/cart/tee box have no diagrams or yardage, although plenty of sprinklers with info in fairways. Generous fairways - more than you think from tee, just aim for/over poles in fairways - it helps if you can work ball both ways. Big greens - they had recently been punched/sanded, and were slow/bumpy. Water really doesn't come into play for good players, but may for shorter/crooked drivers. Due to recent heavy rainfall, fairways somewhat burnt/bare, got little roll with drives, ball picked up mud. Overall, a typical Fla course, but not worth the premium greens fee they charge. If you have choice, play Slammer & Squire - on WGV site, just as challenging, less $$.

Had a great day of golf. This was the first time I walked through the clubhouse, wow it is beautiful. The course has been in great condition each time I have played and this time was no different. In spite of heavy rains here recently the course was well kept . the greens rolled true and the fairways were beautiful. It does play much longer with very little roll. I look forward to my next round out here with Jack and Arnie.

Great golf course Very enjoyable. Was paired with a good golfer that had played the course below and that really helped. Course was in great shape. Very well manicured course and greens roll great. I would say this is a must if you are in the St. Augustine area.

Hands down best experience in north Florida pristine while other courses are swamps playable and challenging at the same time masterpiece

I normally love the course, but right now the course is soaked. Cart path only and saturated. Mud and water flying everywhere when hitting from fairway. There also was a fivesom in front of us for a little that did not ask us to play through so we skipped a hole. Not my best outing there.

beautiful course challeging design.but some pins were less than 10 feet from water or sand trap. it played like sunday tourament.

The only reason for the good condition was due to the rain that the area has had, left for soft fairways in areas.

Awesome course...one of my favorites in the area. Pace of play was kind of slow but that may be expected with the difficulties of some of the holes. Booked thru GolfNow and got a excellent rate. Looking forward to returning and playing again.

I have not been there for about 1 1/2 years. Participated in a 4-person scramble for Folds of Honor. Outside staff very friendly and very helpful. Practice facilities are close to clubhouse and cart staging which is great when in a tournament when carts cannot be moved. Hot and humid morning and course adviser was out early with cold towels. Nice job! there were a few greens that needed some major attention on the collars where the turf is dead and bear dirt. staff needs to get sod patches so the grass can regrow.
Downfalls: no yardage books available for purchase at front desk. answer was that they are getting new ones made. Course has not changed so why out?
Water feature between the 16th green and 17th Tee box was not working and looks as if it has been forgotten. When course first opened, this feature that Jack and Arnold designed was beautiful and the water was circulated from the lower pond to the upper by a pump house. Now the feature is full of weeds, mildew and algae since the water does not move. Hope someone reads this and brings it back to life. Would be nice to hear the running water in a quiet corner of the course.
Bonus: Compressed air hose at shoe cleaning station outside clubhouse to blow out/off the dirt and grass from your shoes.

This course is fun to play! Great layout, excellent conditioned course! Complimentary Washington red apples on the 1st & 10th tee are awesome! I can't wait to play this course again.

We were asked to let a group of members through when it was already backed up.Im all for golf etiquette but we were made to let members through then go sit and wait on next box with the @ssholes... was priceless...Not to mention they both shanked next .
drive into woods...again priceless..south hampton and st johns gacc are much better. they only cater to members when necessary..which is more than understandable!!!!Will not be back..make it a private course.let all the members pump all the money into it.so they can complain then shank it in the woods...

We had a great round at the King & Bear Sunday. I thought the staff was extra friendly and very nice to us all day long. It was hot, hot, hot and they had towels and water for us on the course. The course by the way was in great condition, greens terrific and we enjoyed the day. It was a little busy so gave the pace of play 4 Stars instead of five, but all the players in front us moved it as fast as they could. It was just busy.

Roughs were tall and balls were difficult to locate once they rolled into the rough. Course unremarkable in design, nothing special. Fairways were in good shape..

Being new to the area, it was the first chance I had to play and I was not disappointed at all. I booked single, and requested to remain single, and they made it happen. Pace of play was a little slow, but I was single with a 3-some in front, so thats to be expected. Course was in excellent condition considering the huge amount of rain in the area lately. Staff was very friendly. I will definitely play again.
