Rebecca N. "I walked in and looked over the grocery items. I chose to buy some large pita bread for home. Then, to order: I wanted a beef shawarma and a salad for dinner tonight. I also ordered a spinach pie to take home. I also had half and half tea, a piece of baklava for after dinner. The food, tea and baklava were very fresh and good. I had half of my dinner boxed up because I was so full. I was able to relax and unwind after work. I look forward to my next visit. Pros:very good food! Plenty of parking. Cons:it was a wee bit pricier than I like, but I work hard and deserved a good hot meal. Recommend? yes! If you want to live a long life, this is the food for you! Mediterranean food."

Joshua R. "The Slammer and Squire, the second of two courses on the PGA tour World Golf Village and Hall of Fame site in St Augustine Florida. Shorter than the famous King and Bear, which I will play next time, its a technical golfers dream! Played in the shadow of the World Golf Hall of Fame, I mean that literally, the sign is seen all over the course, it brings the tradition of the game to the forefront and reminds, even the most amateur golfer of the great who played the game before them! Also, you can book your tee time right through Yelp!When pulling up to Slammer and Squire, you share parking with the World Golf HOF! It humbling from the beginning or really, why are you playing? A gentleman in what I call a limo cart, picked our bags and us up and brought us to the pro shop to check in and get us ready for the round! The young man in the pro shop was super helpful and got us amped for our round. We had to check out the locker room and low and behold, there were lockers for the Slammer and Squire still in the locker room alongside champions of the course and other notables in golf! Designed by Gene Sarazen, "The Squire", and Sam Snead, "The Slammer", its a 6900 yard challenge for the golfer who doesn't live and die by the driver! That being said, you have to hit good drives, they just don't need to be 250 plus yards! The course has fairway bunkers on a great number of the holes and very few "straight" forward holes. Many a dog leg left or right in which the tee cannot see the green to include steep bunkers and fescue style palmettos! We had a memorable experience and was so appreciative of everyone we have met! If you are looking for a great experience on one of the best courses in the world, and truthfully, we aren't the best golfers in the world, check out Slammer and Squire, but book early, it does tend to get full!"

Terry A. "The course was in great shape. However, when we arrived at 1:45 for a 2:10 tee time, there were no carts available. There were 3 groups in front of us, so as the earlier golfers finished, the carts were taken in order of tee time. It was about 2:30 before we teed off. The weather was amazing and the course was good, so after the delay it was a great day."

1/5/23. Hadn't been here in a while but food is still good, fresh and tasty. It is Mediterranean with an emphasis on Lebanese in the Lakewood area off San Jose Blvd. You can tell it is a family operated business which we like to support local!

A friend and I had a trip planned to St Simons island for a graduation. We decided to go down a few days earlier and stay in St Augustine Florida.We wanted to get a round of golf in the first day and decided to play at the Squire at the World Golf Headquarters based on positive reviews there.When we pulled up to the course it began to thunder and the pro shop said we would have to wait out the storm.We were disappointed of course because we had just flown in from Kansas City and had been looking forward to play for weeks.The pro shop recommended nearby Murray Brothers Caddyshack to get some food and wait out the storm.After about an hour at Cadddyshack we went back to the course and were able to get a time booked. They offered letting us hit some practice balls for free but the weather was still iffy so we wanted to get started and at least get a few holes in.We got the entire round in and basically had the course to ourself.The course was great and in perfect shape, this was my first time playing in Florida and the greens definitely take some getting used to but loved this course and plan on going back again someday.

My friend and I got there shortly after 6 and the music was already extremely loud. We had to stop who I think was the manager several times to get napkins for the table, waters and to point out who our server was. The service was beyond slow even before it got busy. The music seemed to get so loud that we couldn't hear what the other person was saying even though we were yelling across the table. The music was good with the exception of the DJ who kept talking and singing over the music. My friend and I ordered food at the same time, to go. She got hers and I had to wait an extra 40 mins for 10 wings. We would have left without the food, but you're required to pay at the time you order.We will not be back.

Just played this weekend after the course was closed for renovations for @6 months..... Got to say, disappointed - here's the deal:Course itself: 4 stars - much needed improvements - a lot of trees and overgrowth removed, greens played fair and firm (will continue to improve with time) made the course a little easier (nice feature on JC - probably easier than any of the 210 courses....)Course amenities: 1 star - cracked sidewalks, bridges looked a little rough, no beer cart girl, saw one marker on the course all 18 holes, no "150 sticks" yardage not marked well at allClubhouse: 1 star - parking lot still a complete mess, check in area OK, but bathroom stunk and sink was broken (old faucet missing one of the handles) - seriously......in 6 months with no golfers....you guys couldn't have cleaned the place, modernized it and gave it a coat of paint? Lived here 6 years - that parking lot always looks like a construction site - couldn't get it re-blacktopped?To close - I don't hate JC - it is what it is....a munie with zero amenities in decent shape, go out, swing a club, and have fun....but I cancelled my 4 some with out of towners for this weekend to go to my least favorite of the 210 courses - just because it's a nicer atmosphere...

Played here in April of 2019 before all of this Covid hit. I thought the course was in good shape with the greens running fast and pure. If I ever get back to Jacksonville it'll be one that I'll play again.

This is a hacker quality course.....not designed for hackers.....You know it's not top shelf when in the pro shop the only sells used balls....but hey, I'm not a great golfer so why not?Let's start with the positives:Nice cartsNice peopleEmpty once the Yankees head North for the summerOn to the negatives......Tees: for the average guy, the blues too hard, the whites way too short..... (@6,200 vs. 5,300 yards) and although the blues aren't super long, there are multiple 150+ yard carries over water off the tee - which leads me to my point....tough course for hackers with a lot of carries and opportunities for lost ballsCondition: played there 5 times, keeps getting worse - sand tee boxes, HUGE patches of dirt in fairways, greens getting overgrown with St Augustine grass roots - aim your putt in the general direction, watch it hop to the hole and hope......To close - if you just want to get out and swing a club, it's better than a driving range....just bring lots of balls. If you want a decent round of golf, pay the extra 10-20 bucks.....ANYTHING (Cimmerone, S. Hampton, either of the St. John's, Flemming Island, Eagle Landing) in the area 10x better than this.

Marie F. "Great day for the first round of the season! So I look around - yeah very white. Not surprised by that. Looked around - yup no women. A little surprised about that. Keep looking and I see Gator and Bull Dog fans ... where the hell were the Seminoles? Now that was uncalled for! I got to spend two hours on the golf course, surrounded by hilarious men. I really do have a tough life! What a beautiful place and great golf course. Had a great time and actually played well...I mean decent...at least I didn't hit anyone. You really haven't played golf in Jacksonville until you hear a 70 yr old dude ask you "can I put my weight on it" on the 12th hole. Then hear some 40 somethings discussing the housing market and where's the best place to get a beer on St. Patrick's day without being stuck near "hippies". Only lost a star because of the parking. Some how it needs to be expanded, but it might have just been everyone taking in the great Spring Saturday. Yay! I'm a fan."

Natalie S. "The course is a great value. The GPS on the cart was pretty spot on and the course was well groomed. It was a little confusing on a few holes trying to find our way...the golf path can end on a residential street and it's not too clear as to which way the path picks up. However, the course in general was challenging, in super condition and considering all the rain we've had lately..the drainage was fantastic. There is a drink girl who comes around on the cart, water coolers at every 3rd-4th hole and a decent club house that serves food and drinks. Only complaint; ladies bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. It doesn't take too much effort to ensure the toilet bowls are scrubbed out on a daily basis...it looked as though they had NEVER been cleaned!"
