The King & Bear at World Golf Village is a landmark collaboration between two of golf's greatest legends — Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus — who each designed nine holes of this celebrated layout in Saint Augustine, Florida. Opened in 2000, the course sits within the World Golf Hall of Fame complex, lending it a ceremonial gravitas that few public courses can claim. Stretching across gently rolling terrain accented by native Florida vegetation, the layout features generous fairways off the tee that tighten as you approach well-bunkered greens. Strategically placed water hazards and wetlands demand precision on several key holes. The Palmer nine rewards aggressive play while the Nicklaus nine demands patient course management. Conditions are consistently well-maintained, and the broader World Golf Village resort setting — with its Hall of Fame museum and multiple course options — makes this a bucket-list destination for golf enthusiasts visiting northeast Florida. Peak season (November through April) brings snowbirds and tourists, making early reservations essential.
The King & Bear opened in 2000 as the centerpiece of the World Golf Village development, a sprawling golf resort and Hall of Fame campus in Saint Augustine. The collaboration between Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus — two rivals who rarely partnered on design projects — was a once-in-a-generation pairing that drew immediate national attention. The course has hosted various amateur and charity events tied to the Hall of Fame and remains a flagship public course in northeast Florida.
High name recognition due to Palmer/Nicklaus design and Hall of Fame location draws steady tourism traffic, especially November through April when snowbirds fill the Saint Augustine area.
