The King and Bear at the World Golf Village in between Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida, is the only course collaboration between golf’s greatest legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. These great rivals have united to create a challenging layout with sweeping par 5’s lined with crushed coquina stone and signature par 3’s.
