Slammer & Squire Golf Course

St. Augustine, FL · 3.6 mi away

The King & Bear at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida, was designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2000. The public, par-72 course plays 7,279 yards from the back tees with a 75.2 course rating and 141 slope, running through loblolly pines, live oaks and lakes. The routing mixes open, wind-exposed holes with tighter, tree-lined corridors, and lakes come into play on both nines. It is part of the World Golf Village complex, which also includes the Slammer & Squire course.

Jacksonville, FL · 6.6 mi away

Cimarrone Golf Club is a semi-private course in Jacksonville, Florida, near the World Golf Village area of North Florida. The club opened in 1988 and was designed by architect David Postlethwait, who routed the layout through pine forest and marshland terrain. The 18-hole, par-72 course plays along mildly rolling ground with significant fairway and greenside mounding, and water or marsh comes into play on every hole. Multiple tee options and generally forgiving fairways allow players of varying skill levels to adjust the challenge. Cimarrone is open for public play in addition to member access, and includes practice facilities, a restaurant, and event and outing services.

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL · 15 mi away

The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, opened in 1980 as the first course Pete Dye built specifically for spectators. Deane Beman, then the PGA Tour commissioner, wanted a permanent home for the Tour's championship with room for crowds, and Dye shaped mounding around the holes to create natural viewing areas. That idea became the model for stadium golf everywhere. The par-3 17th is the best-known hole in American golf: a short shot to an island green surrounded by water, with a small pot bunker on the right and no bailout. The 18th that follows plays along water down the entire left side. Neither hole is long, and both have decided tournaments. The course was reworked by Dye in 2006 and renovated again in 2017, when the greens were rebuilt and drainage improved. It hosts the Players Championship each year, and the general public can book tee times outside tournament weeks.
