The King & Bear at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida, is an 18-hole, par-72 course measuring 7,279 yards from the back tees. Opened in 2000, it is the only golf course jointly designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
The architects combined their respective design organisations and ideas across the entire routing rather than dividing the holes between them. The front nine moves through comparatively open ground and pine-lined areas, while the back nine has a more traditional north Florida character with mature live oaks and coquina features. Tournament history includes the Legends of Golf, the televised Shell's Wonderful World of Golf match between Palmer and Nicklaus, PGA Tour qualifying events and PGA Tour Champions qualifying.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,656m (7,279 yards). Designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, the course originally opened in 2000. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Practice facilities, Golf shop.
King & Bear was created at World Golf Village as an unprecedented collaboration between Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. It opened in 2000.
Palmer Course Design and Nicklaus Design worked collaboratively across the full routing. The front nine uses more open terrain and loblolly pines, while the back nine transitions into mature live-oak corridors and a more traditional Florida setting.
The course has appeared in Golf Digest and GOLF Magazine state public-course selections.
King & Bear remains an operating World Golf Village course measuring up to 7,279 yards at par 72.
