World Golf Village is home to 36 challenging holes of championship golf. The Slammer & Squire Course is named after the two World Golf Hall of Fame legends, Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, who served as consultants to the course's designer, Bobby Weed. The golf course is known for its tricky par-3 holes and the carefully preserved beauty of the landscape. Its traditional layout meanders through native flatwoods and hardwood hammocks, running alongside wetland preserves and a wildlife habitat. The scenic Slammer & Squire Course features contoured greens and gently rolling, generous fairways. There is also an abundance of water on the golf course in the forms of lakes and marshes.

Trop cher

2h30 pour jouer le premier neuf. Les verts étaient horribles. Le terrain ne vaut pas le prix demandé.

A Mess

Went there with a tempered expectation after seeing all the negative reviews. The negative reviews were spot on. The greens were terrible as were the tee boxes. This course should be better in the shadow of the once proud hall of fame location. It’s a shame because it is a great layout. Not worth the money. Go play somewhere else

Utter disappointment

I’ve been playing this course for quite some time and it is in the absolute worst condition I have ever seen it. The greens are a disgrace. 1/2 of them are spray painted mud with very sparse grass. Horrible is an understatement. We should be refunded 3/4 of our money. It’s worth about 30 bucks to play here right now. There are plenty of other courses in the county that have grass on the greens. No excuse for these conditions and to charge over 100$ is a slap in the face.

Nice course, but for the money paid, carts should have GPS

This is a very nice course with excellent playing conditions. My only issue is the lack of any available information on the layout of each hole. They are not provided on the scorecard, there are no diagrams on the tee markers, and for paying $200 after taxes and assorted fees, I would expect a course of this caliber to have GPS equiped carts. Carts are nice but somewhat uncomfortable for larger sized players, as the seat bolsters kind of force you into your riding partners shoulders.

The greens were awful

I’ve never played greens in this bad of shape. Not only was the grass sparse, you could tell where the previous holes were for at least the last month or more.

Not worth the price

Disappointed with the course especially for the price. Nice fairways but the greens were in terrible shape especially on the front 9. I spoke with a staff member who advised members voted against treating them in the fall and a fungus killed the grass. I wouldn’t recommend playing this course for the price.

Enjoyable course made tough by adverse weather conditions

Nice layout,
nice practice facility
Greens need lots of tender loving care
real wet conditions took some of the fun away
Price a little steep considering course not tip top shape.

Fun Course.

Fun Course with a nice layout and pure greens. Our experience was overshadowed by constant harassment from the ranger about pace of play. We played a walking 3 hour 51 minute round with noone behind us, yet every other hole he was harassing us to pick up the pace. On the 2nd green he said we should be at the 12 minute mark of our round and we were at 20, ridiculous. Then on the 7th tee att the 1 hr 10 min mark he came and harassed us again about picking up the pace. Just very annoying and disrupted the entire round.

It's a resort golf course, folks.

So the good -

Grass everywhere, minimal GUR locations.
Located on the property so leave the hotel and go play.
My coworker was loaned the pro's clubs to play since he couldn't bring his from Cali and when we were making the turn, my playing partner's sugar, who has type 1 diabetes, was crashing, so we stopped into the pro shop to see if they had anything and the pro loaded him up with snacks. Nice touch of humanity.
Free water, towels on the carts, etc.
The guy's manning the starter house were super as well.

The bad -

Greens were punched two days before we showed up. No mention of this at all. $89 for punched greens? That's a bit tacky for me. The round came with a dozen Callaway Super Soft balls that I don't play, so will give them away or maybe play them in the winter.
The course was lacking attention to detail, bunkers edging, etc. the only reason these stick out more for me is this is the WORLD GOLF VILLAGE.

If we would have had time after the day's work to go and play elsewhere, prolly would have played this one time. As it is, we played it all week due to time constraints.

Very nice course.

Course in good shape. Great layout. Fairways were nice and wide. Favors straight or slice driver. Get a dozen of Calloway balls included in green fee. Afternoon green fee was about $40 cheaper than morning tee time.

Just picked the wrong day

Hey guys , we played a round on Slammer yesterday afternoon and I have to say we had hoped for better. Starting right behind a shotgun tournament, we were never able to get into a good rhythm. Multiple holes were interrupted by whatever stations were out there , especially shooting skeet toward the later holes . It was rather uncomfortable to putt and tee off during commotion like that. Wish we were informed about the situation out there today because we were hoping for a really nice experience and had heard great things.

Nice, but not for me

All reviews are correct, it is a very nice course in excellent condition. Most people would rightfully give it a great review.

As a northerner though, I want Palm trees on a Florida course and there aren't any here. I can play courses just as nice as this up north.
