Courses:	The King & Bear The latest addition to the Village is very special and historic. Although their best playing days are likely behind them, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus still are busy leaving their mark on the golf world and between them their design companies have built over 400 courses worldwide. But now for the first time in history, the two Hall of Famers collaborated to create this treasure. They both agreed to make this course traditional in design. Palmer says, “This property is exceptional and will lend itself to a natural rather than more artificial design.” Nicklaus comments, “We agree that this course will have a more traditional flavor, with a premium on accuracy and finesse around the greens.” Since it just opened the fall of 2000, you can be the first kid in your “village” to play it. Slammer & the Squire This course was named after golf legends San Snead and Gene Sarazen and they actually consulted with designer Bobby Weed. His desire was to create a course that was both fun and challenging and he definitely accomplished it. The track meanders through the scenic beauty of native flatwoods and hardwood hammocks, while bordering on wetland preserves and wildlife habitat. The greens are very large, undulating and built like “upside-down” table tops, which is reminiscent of vintage greens. It is home to the Senior PGA Tour Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Golf Digest gives it 4 stars as well as special designation for service, condition and pace. Cimarrone Golf & Country Club Designed by renowned architect David Postlethwait, this course will give you the ultimate water challenge or should I say, “water torture”. Every hole on this track is highlighted by water hazards. Either lakes or marshes come into play, but also provide you with incredible breathtaking surroundings. The first hole is a 530-yard, par 5, featuring a dogleg right fairway, which requires a tee shot that must carry at least 200 yards for a clear approach to the green. The fairways are well defined and the greens are magnificent. Advanced players will appreciate the numerous risk-reward opportunities provided by the strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The Champions Club at Julington Creek A regular stop on the Hooter’s Tour, this course is built among the scenic wetlands near Mandarin. The course also hosted the 1997 World Junior Golf Cup U.S. Finals. It meanders through the beautiful woods of Julington Creek Plantation. Steve Melnyk designed this track in 1988 and features only 40 bunkers. Melnyk built them more as targets than for penalty. Easy for him to say … just wait until you hit into one of them. The signature hole is #17, a 222-yard, par 3. In fact, all the par 3’s are very interesting.
