King and Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village

K and B is a fun course and multiple tee options allow you to make it as challenging as you want. The greens were true and quick. My one question is why ring every green with a collar of grass that a) doesn't match, b) is three times greener than any other grass on the curse, and c) is a new kind of hazard I've never encountered before. Putting from off the green was next to impossible as the collar was a different height than either side of it. Hopefully it will grow in and blend in as the other grasses grow this summer.

Ok so played the sister/brother course in the morning. Had the proshop book us for their double play. Both courses for one price. They booked us two tee times and gave us time for lunch. We were fine in the morning pace was great, in the afternoon at King and Bear, it was obviously overbooked..the group in front of us was two 4-somes that played as an 8 some. They slowed the course down a lot, over a 5 hr round. No course rangers to keep pace of play, called pro shop, and seemed very unconcerned about pace of play. We asked for cart girl to come out and she did met up with us by the next hole. We saw her a ton on front 9. Just be prepared to play a slow round here, especially if it's afternoon. They have a lot of groups play both courses. Worth the wait great layout, lots of water, challenging. but not too hard. Put it on your bucket list you will not be disappointed. I PROMISE

The King and the Bear bring the creative course designs of Nicklaus and Palmer together. If enjoy challenging length and strategic shot making this course will deliver! Excellent staff, facilities, course conditions

The wind was steady at 30 and gusts to 45 made for a tough day. The course was still in good condition and the greens were receptive. The course is on the expensive side, but worth it, if only once.

Good course. typical Nicholas design. greens hard to read at first.

Tee to Green, well designed...some memorable holes...greens/tees in great condition...fairways pretty good....rough penal as it should be. Only turf issue was fringe...with greens rolling pretty well, should be able to putt or chip from fringe...not the case today...fringe thick...nearly impossible to putt with any speed control from even 1foot off.

Under Construction: Where this course really falls short of the $179 asking and even the $89 golf now deals is the environment surrounding the course. I have played great golf across the country and what stands out to me is premiere golf in a natural setting. I could only recall 2-3 holes tops that were not lined with houses/condos/thru roads. Too be clear; the homes are not right on top of you...and are nice...but they are present at every turn. What makes the setting even less appealing is the ongoing construction of new houses/condos on several of the holes.

It's too bad...this course on a natural Florida wilderness setting would command the current rates. Hope this review helps your decision to spend your golf dollars. I would play Slammer and Squire if deciding between the two.

This golf course was in tremendous condition-best greens in Jacksonville area....I highly recommend that you play this course No rating on food as we did not eat at course

I love this course. I paid only 8$ with my 75$ voucher how sweet is that? course is well maintained and in excellent shape. challenging for any level golfer because it has multiple tee boxes.

The course is designed by Arnold and jack so it is very amazing to play. Mostly challenging with some water but the layout does include some easier holes.

Great course. fairways needed cut and bunkers needed work. A little pricey but worth the afternoon deal on "golf now" $89 after 1:00. Would not advise paying full price.

I've played King-Bear many years ago and jumped at the golfnow rate. Fairways were great and greens were FAST and true. Reminds you of his good the WGV courses are....wish they were regularly cheaper.

Always a great experience. Challenging but fair. Immaculate condition. Greens fast but true. Designed to make you think, enjoyable for handicaps of all ranges. They've finally upgraded the menu variety and quality appropriate to a facility of this stature. Taking 3 friends to play in February, everyone's looking forward to a great experience.

I thought it would be more than it was...very nice staff!

11:24 tee time w/ buddy. $109/ea - $200 Golf now reward. Similar to Club @ Eaglebrooke, Julliette Falls GC, & Bella Collina CC. Fun & fair layout. Visually appealing course. Huge well stocked proshop. Great driving range & short game practice area. Tee boxes & fairways plush as carpet. Bunkers well sanded. Huge elevated greens rolling true & fast. Front nine wider open (Links) than back nine (tree lined}. Battery powered carts w/ windshield & rain cover in back. Great value w/ Golfnow reward.

The King and the Bear lives up to the legends the course is named for. The staff made me fell like I was a celebrity. Range balls are included with your round on the well manicured range. The course was pristine and a definite challenge. The greens putt true and are lightning fast. The greens definitely added some strokes to my round as they are much faster than I am used to. I will definitely return.

We arrived early with plans to visit the hall of fame prior to round but it was not open until 10:00. The course received us well and we were set up at the range in a matter of minutes.
The course was in good shape and we really enjoyed the round.

I beautiful course that is very well maintained. Wonderful staff, nice pro shop. Played Slammer & Squire the day before but enjoyed King & Bear more... will definitely be back!

Not up to expectations for a resort course. Thought we were getting a great deal at $70.00 early afternoon price, but have played better at half the cost. Staff and all were very friendly. Tees and fairways good but bunkers were not in best of shape. Greens slower than expected. Would recommend for a one time experience, but doubt I will play again

Will play again. Feel of a private club. Staff excellent
Plays pretty long from the blacks no roll in lush fairways but they are great to hit from.

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.
