King & Bear Golf Course

Great day golfing. Course was in excellent shape, new greens. Friendly courteous staff.Clean facilities.

Fantastic food! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious meal.live music on Saturday night too!

My kids LOVE golfing and competed on their middle school & high school teams. My youngest was also on a travel golf team throughout North Florida. We only had a few tournaments at King & Bear, but each time we did.... The course was in great condition! The staff was so gracious and incredibly helpful! Bathrooms were clean & well-stocked! The decor in the club house was great! I would def recommend!

Amazing track. Met one of the greenskeeers - Jeffrey, talked the course and the greens. Place was in immaculate condition. We'll worth the price tag. Greens were very pure, fast and challenging ping placements. Sand in bunkers was consistent and a little too frequently visited by me.... It's not cheap, but man - I had the first tee time solo and cruised through my round in under 3 hours. Really a fun and challenging experience. Saw Bev cart 3 times despite starting at 7:30 - so they get through the course to keep you hydrated.

Played on a Tuesday afternoon. Played a lot of good tracks the last 5 years this was easily one of the best I've played. Greens were unreal, tee boxes were good, fairways were pure. Pretty straight forward, a few challenging holes but pretty easy. Great pace of play

Planned a golf trip with a group of friends from across the country. I have one friend who is just getting into golf and is not ready to play a course like this yet. However, he wants to ride along and join in on the fun, watch and learn. He has been able to do this at every course thus far (including TPC Sawgrass). However, here, they won't allow it due to 'not enough cart capacity'. When we offered to walk, that wasn't allowed for non members. So our friend we get to see once or twice a year had to leave as the course had 0 willingness to help us out. Additionally, the bar/food service doesn't open until late in the day. I respect Jack and Arnie a lot, and was excited to play here. I don't believe they would be supportive of the lack of access to the game they love here nor the lack of customer service displayed.

Great condition and friendly service. Teed off around 2:00 on a Friday in May and breezed through the front nine in about an hour and 40 minutes. Unfortunately, we then hit a roadblock on the back nine where we had to wait on every tee box. It could be the layout or the par 3's coming at 11 and 14 but we still finished the round in under 4 hours. With panoramic views, tee boxes and fairways were well maintained, bunkers were managed, and greens rolled well. We played the blended tees at around 6200 yards which was perfect for me. Enough challenge and forgiveness for my game. Complimentary crispy red delicious apples in barrels of ice await you on holes 1 and 9 - which can really hit the spot on a Florida summer day on the links. The clubhouse doesn't look like much from the front but inside you'll find a well appointed restaurant, bar, and pro shop. I recommend playing this resort golf course if your budget allows.

I and a group of friends have played this course every Spring for a week of golf during the last 20+ years. It was a beautiful course that was challenging but fun to play. In the last few years the course conditions have declined while the fees have increased. This year we arrived for our week of golf to learn that the course will be closing at the end of May for a complete renovation. So rather than put the effort into maintaining great greens they packed in green dyed sand. The result was greasy, hard greens that would not hold a ball, putts complicated by pins located on ridges. We had 3 very, very unenjoyable rounds of golf. On Sunday the final day of The Masters we finished our round at 5:05 with the intent of going into the clubhouse to watch the finish. Our intentions were crushed because they closed the clubhouse at 5 pm. What management moron would close their bar/restaurant at a golf course on the final day of one of the premier golf events! Despite the poor condition of the course they continue to charge $225. (We had a special rate but still not worth what we paid). Go play one of the area public courses for around $65. They are in better shape!

Nice staff tee times are flexible as we started a half hour early. Reason for the bad review is the condition of the the greens. Basically spray painted dirt. $80 a person is the cheapest rate to play on said dirt. Just not great experiences here. Would recommend going somewhere else so that even if you do play on dirt at least it is worth the price.

Save your money and play elsewhere now. The greens are crap as they are trying to kill them off before tearing them out (as shared by a marshall). We weren't told about it despite booking well in advance, nor was the rate reduced. Short cut around the greens is like walking on straw. Driving range didn't have grass either (dead as well). Very disappointed with this course.
