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

The ocean course is a Jack designed track that boasts the most ocean side holes in Florida. The finishing stretch of 16,17,18 are phenomenal and the closing stretch of the front 9 are also stellar. The wind on the ocean side courses plays a huge factor…

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.

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.

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.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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 Saint Augustine, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
