Par 72
Length 6870 yards
Slope 131
Rating 73.7

The 18-hole Palm Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL is a resort golf course that opened in 1971. Designed by Joe Lee and Rocky Roquemore, Palm Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort measures 6870 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 131 and a 73.7 USGA rating. The course features 4 sets of tees for different skill levels. Greens and fairways are bermuda grass.

The natural Florida woodlands provide a stunning backdrop to one of America's premier resort courses. Architect, Joe Lee, designed the 6,870-yard Palm with elevated tees and greens. The key ingredient, of course, was the Florida palm and he made good use of nearly every variety for aesthetic and strategic purposes. Its fairways are crafted through a pine forest of mature, natural woodlands that includes moss-dappled oak, maple and cypress trees. Palmetto scrub fills the forest floor. It boasts of more than its share of water and sand with nine water holes and 94 bunkers.

This is a perfect choice for everything from a casual round to a large group outing.

Disney Palms

Staff was warm and friendly from the moment you get out of the car. Starter actually got our group to the tee early ahead of a big group.

The course is great, but it’s too long for seniors of average abilities. It also got jammed up late in the round by a double dogleg around water.

If it’s your only round in Orlando on vacation, choose an easier track. But if your skills are sharp, Palm is your course!

Course condition was great. I enjoy playing this course as it allows you to hit a variety of golf shots of the tee and into the greens. I found the greens recpetative, but on the slower side of tournament greens.

Beautiful course

Course was near perfect. Only issue was how different the practice putting green was (fast) from the actual greens (slower). That was the only “negative”. I would play this course every week if it wasn’t so expensive for a regular guy. It’s in my top 5 I’ve played.

Best course in central FL so far

Wow, memories were made today. From tees to greens, conditions were outstanding. Only downside was that it was cart path only, but hey, grass needs water to be that green. One of the best courses I’ve played in a long, long time. A country club course like experience for sure. Coming back to play Magnolia in a few days, can’t wait.

Bad guest experience

Love Disney and shades of green and have enjoyed coming down for Disney vacations and golf trips. Course is always in great shape but usually plays slow. Had a horrible interaction in the golf course with a cast member named Shawn. When your group is paying over $1,000 or greens fees, rentals and another $500 on food, drinks, and merchandise you would expect to be treated with respect by staff. At this price point I would expect better, especially from Disney. We will be taking our business elsewhere and I would highly recommend Orange County national for anyone looking for good golf and to be treated with respect

Crowded course

Good layout. Fast greens but they had jammed the tees with too many people on the day I played. I was only able to complete 13 holes and gave up after 4.5 hours

Facility from bag drop to check in to driving range to starter was all first class and worth the money. The course itself was in great shape and although every tee time was taken we played in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Overall we will play it again.

Disney is back!

Played this course a number of years ago before the Golf Channel dropped the sponsorship of the AmTour and the condition today is night and day. It seems they have overseeded the fairways because they are lush green. Just beautiful! The layout is literally championship quality...the tour played there for years. The staff is always great. The pro-shop has great gear if you are interested....not cheap! But nice quality. The bonus was pace of play. It can't be like this everyday....but on this day it was amazing!

The nicest Disney course!

Have played all the courses at WDW over the years, Palm has always been the best conditioned course, and it was again this trip. Palm is also the most attractive course. The greens on Palm this visit were better than Magnolia. The only drawback to Palm is that its much softer/ wetter than Magnolia, even without any recent rains my drives often plugged in the fairways! Its is also the most quiet & peaceful of the disney courses! The staff were helpful but several of the ones ai ask questions of gave me varying answers to questions about their practice facilities, and such. Unless you play your rounds late afternoon the prices here are, well, ridiculous! Overpriced big time!
