A Mecca for Golfers: Renaissance World of Golf Village Resort

Courses

Golf is a major player at many Florida resorts, but at the Renaissance World of Golf Resort, it’s a way of life all its own. The resort is home to two world-class championship courses. The King and Bear is a bucket list course for many golfers, as it remains the only collaboration between renowned golf legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. The other course, Slammer and Squire, is also highly regarded by the top golfers in the industry, as it was designed by Bobby Weed with Hall of Famers Sam “The Slammer” Snead and Gene “The Squire” Sarazen.

Catering

The quality of food and service at all meetings and events held at the Renaissance World of Golf Resort are on par with the resort’s fantastic reputation for excellence. The culinary team provides menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Their reception menus offer options of passed hors d’oeuvres, themed stations and a package that allows guests to design their own reception, with inclusions like a paella station, a slider “shack” or a display of crudites fresh from the farmers market. Bartenders are available for an additional fee for a minimum of three hours, and alcohol available includes wells and premium brands.

Around Town

Guests of the resort are encouraged to explore the expansive property that includes the World Golf Hall of Fame Museum and the Imax Theatre, as well as multiple restaurants along the Walk of Champions. For anyone looking to venture off-site for some adventure, the resort offers a complimentary shuttle to historic downtown St. Augustine, and transportation can be arranged to shopping meccas such as the St. Augustine Premium Outlets or St. John’s Town Center, an outdoor shopping mall with a wide range of more than 150 stores, among them Tiffany and Co. and Ann Taylor. Other favorite nearby attractions include the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and the world’s first permanent Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium.
