Do you know of any good lodging and golf packages for the World Golf Village/Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida?
The World Golf Village has its own online golf vacation package reservation system, but I can't recommend it.
First, it's not a real-time booking engine; it simply collects information so a reservation agent can contact you. Worse, the few times I tested it, it was slow, error prone, and illogical. (Note to the WGV webmaster: you might want to let people see tee time availability before asking for their credit card number). Save yourself the time and frustration and just call the toll-free number (800-948-4653) to speak to their helpful reservationists.
Our friends at GolfZoo.com also offer golf vacation packages to the World Golf Village. On the homepage, use the drop-down box to select "Jacksonville." You can then select the different lodging options available at the World Golf Village as well as tee times at its two golf courses: The King & The Bear and The Slammer & The Squire.
As we've written before, The King & The Bear is the better of the two.
Another option is GolfPacTravel.com. Select "packages" along the top menu, then "St. Augustine" in the alphabetical list. What's handy about this site is its Pricing Information table, which shows you how the prices fluctuate during different times of the year. Be aware, however, that the prices are based on two people sharing a room. And, this is another site where you have to hand over your credit card before there's any talk of tee times.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of companies offering golf vacation packages to the World Golf Village, but it should be plenty to get you started.
