World Golf Village has beautiful golf courses and great schools
World Golf Village is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County featuring beautiful golf courses and great schools. Home to 24,000, the community is quickly developing commercially, infrastructurally and residentially to accommodate its growing population. Local Ola Bolter, a Realtor with Watson Realty Corporation, says many are drawn to the World Golf Village area for a little breathing room. “The lots tend to be bigger, especially the older properties, and the houses are more spacious,” she says. The leading industries in the community are healthcare, finance and retail trade. Local major employers include the closest general hospital, UF Health Flagler Hospital, less than 20 miles away. St. Johns County and its highly-rated school district are also major job sources.

Golfing the King & Bear and boating St. Johns River
The World Golf Village subdivision is home to two renowned 18-hole golf courses. The first course, The Slammer & Squire, was built in 1998 by golf architect Bobby Weed and pros Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. The King & Bear, a famous collaboration between Arnold Palmer, known as “The King,” and Jack Niklaus, the “Golden Bear,” opened in 2000. The 18-hole course has received many accolades over the past 25 years, and the course recently reopened in 2024 after a $2.5 million revitalization. Gated subdivisions like Markland and Murabella feature private amenity-rich parks for residents. Toward the St. Johns River, Trout Creek Memorial Park and Marina offers more rustic recreation, featuring a playground surrounded by forest and boat slips for those looking to get on the water. Another avenue for waterfront fun lies only 15 miles east on Verano Beach’s sandy shores.
