My Golf Vacation

The Slammer & Squire at World Golf Village is one of Northeast Florida's premier championship golf courses, offering a memorable blend of strategic design, outstanding conditioning, and rich golf history. Designed by Bobby Weed in collaboration with World Golf Hall of Fame legends Sam Snead, "The Slammer," and Gene Sarazen, "The Squire," the course reflects the playing philosophies of two of the game's greatest champions. Located just outside historic St. Augustine, the layout winds through pristine lakes, native wetlands, towering pines, and centuries-old live oaks, creating a scenic setting that captures the natural beauty of Florida's First Coast while providing a rewarding challenge for golfers of every skill level.

Stretching nearly 6,950 yards from the championship tees, The Slammer & Squire places a premium on precision, strategy, and thoughtful course management. Wide landing areas provide confidence off the tee, but strategically positioned bunkers, water hazards, and carefully designed doglegs require golfers to think their way around the course. The layout offers an excellent variety of hole designs, featuring picturesque par 3s, reachable par 5s, and challenging par 4s that encourage players to balance aggressive play with smart decision-making. Multiple tee boxes ensure the course remains enjoyable for golfers of all abilities while maintaining its championship-caliber challenge.

The course's smooth Bermuda greens are consistently maintained to exceptional standards and feature subtle contours that reward quality iron play and confident putting. Well-protected green complexes, closely mown collection areas, and strategically placed bunkers challenge golfers to execute precise approach shots and display creativity around the greens. Water comes into play on several memorable holes, enhancing both the beauty and strategic complexity of the round without becoming overly penal. The signature 18th hole is among the most photographed in Florida, featuring a dramatic island green set beneath the World Golf Hall of Fame tower, providing a spectacular finish to an unforgettable round.

Complementing the championship golf are first-class practice facilities, a welcoming clubhouse, professional instruction, and access to the many amenities of World Golf Village. Its convenient location near St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and Florida's Atlantic Coast makes The Slammer & Squire an outstanding addition to any Northeast Florida golf vacation. Whether you're looking to experience a course designed by golf legends or simply enjoy one of the region's finest resort layouts, The Slammer & Squire delivers exceptional golf, beautiful scenery, and a memorable championship experience.
