King & Bear at the World Golf Village Resort
This is the only course in the world that was co-designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. It features a mix of styles, the front 9 being an open links-style layout while the back 9 are more typical of traditional Florida golf, with loblolly pines, old oak trees, indigenous coquina rock, and water features. This course is more of a “drivers’ course,” playing to Palmer’s and Nicklaus’ strengths as golfers.
Slammer & Squire at the World Golf Village Resort
This course, crafted with contributions from golfing legends Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, boasts a design that begins its journey beneath a remarkable tower. Nestled amidst the region's unspoiled woodlands and wetlands, the course unfolds with an inviting layout, featuring undulating greens and a sprinkling of water elements.
