Played this course with very low expectations as I generally don’t favor target golf courses compared to courses that give you multiple ways to play a hole. Boy was I wrong. Several holes in I realized the genius of Pete Dye on this layout.

The quieter sibling with just as much bite. Wider off the tee but full of tricky angles and subtle movement, it’s classic Pete Dye—clever, demanding, and never the same round twice.

Really interesting layout for the most part, few of the holes felt a bit forced but more the most part was a good mix of challenging holes with scoreable ones

Green complexes are great and are generally in good condition Late spring / wet soil can be tough on the course, as the poa will take over before the sun bakes everything out. Very walkable.

The Slammer & Squire is definitely the easier of the two courses in the World Gold Village but still a great track. I’ve had the opportunity to play it on several occasions and each time it’s been in excellent condition.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Ponte Vedra Beach, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
