ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (January 2011) – All of you golfers out there, take note. The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village in Northeast Florida is offering a very appealing new package called the “Champions Golf Package,” which enables you to play golf on both of the resort’s championship golf courses which were designed by masters of the game.

The “Champions Golf Package” includes: accommodations for two nights in a newly remodeled guest room; one round of golf on the popular “Slammer & Squire,” which is located just steps from The Renaissance Resort and is named for Hall of Fame members Slammin’ Sam Snead and Gene “The Squire” Sarazen, who served as design consultants to the course’s architect Bobby Weed; one round of golf on the renowned “King & Bear,” the only course in the world co-designed by Arnold “The King” Palmer and Jack “The Bear” Nicklaus; breakfast daily in the resort’s 500 South restaurant; and range balls daily.
Based on two golfers in the room, the two-night “Champions Golf Package” is from $767 - $807 through June 6, 2011, depending upon the dates of the stay. Based on one golfer, the two-night package is from $543 - $584 through June 6, 2011, depending upon the dates of the visit. Reference promotional code ZJ3 when booking the package for two golfers, or promotional code G4Y when booking the package for one golfer. Tax is additional, and the offer cannot be combined with any other promotions, and does not apply to groups of 10 or more rooms. The offer is based on space availability, and blackout dates may apply.

Taking advantage of the package will enable you to play on King & Bear, a picturesque 7,279-yard course that features loblolly pines and open meadows on the front nine, and impressive 200-year-old oak trees throughout the back nine. The signature features of the course include its placid lakes edged with large coquina rocks, and the striking incorporation of rock into several bunkers and cart paths.
It also will enable you to play Slammer & Squire, a par 72 tree-lined course which features gentle rolling fairways and challenging lakes. The course is distinguished by memorable par 3’s, as well as for its preservation of the woodlands, wetlands and natural beauty of St. Augustine.
