TPC Sawgrass Ponte Vedra
World Golf Village King & Bear
Palmer / Nicklaus resort golf
King & Bear is useful when the trip needs another full public round, especially if the group is staying in or spending a night around St. Augustine. It is not the reason to fly in, but it can make the tee sheet feel complete.

The take
King & Bear is useful when the trip needs another full public round, especially if the group is staying in or spending a night around St. Augustine. It is not the reason to fly in, but it can make the tee sheet feel complete.

Great hospitality!! The course is lush and in great condition. The fairways, tee boxes, and approach’s are still green. The greens are rolling at about a 9-10 on the stemp meter. Highly recommended!!!
