Few golf courses carry a nickname as evocative as this one. The Slammer & Squire at World Golf Village pays tribute to two of the game's most beloved figures — Sam Snead, "The Slammer," and Gene Sarazen, "The Squire" — and the course was designed with their blessing and involvement as a centerpiece of the World Golf Hall of Fame complex that opened here in the 1990s. That heritage gives the layout a sense of occasion that goes well beyond a typical resort round.
St. Augustine itself adds another layer. The oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States, it sits along Florida's northeast Atlantic coast where the landscape runs to marshland, Spanish moss, and tidal waterways. The Slammer & Squire plays through that low-country terrain, with water in play on a significant number of holes and the kind of subtropical conditions — warm, humid, with afternoon storms a real possibility — that demand patience as much as power.
As a resort course attached to a Hall of Fame destination, it welcomes visitors of all skill levels while carrying genuine golf history in its name and origins.
