Slope 141
Rating 76.0

The 18-hole Magnolia 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, Magnolia Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort measures 7516 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 141 and a 76.0 USGA rating. The course features 5 sets of tees for different skill levels. Greens and fairways are bermuda grass.

Of all the Disney courses, the Magnolia supports a greater abundance of wildlife. At any given time, you're likely to see deer, osprey, alligators and turtles. A flock of wild turkeys has brought several tournaments to a standstill while they pecked along its fairways. The course features elevated tees and greens with wide and generous fairways graced by over 1,500 magnolia trees that bloom from late spring to mid-summer. Brightly colored crape myrtles and oleanders, along with beds of blue plumbego and seasonal flowers, add sparkle to an otherwise dense, natural forest.

Disney Magnolia

Greens were very smooth and rolled to true, but a little slow. Fairways for all so very good. Some of the second cut rough areas were a little thin, and tee boxes we're not in the best shape. Other than that it was a great day at Disney. Not sure if it was quite worth what I paid but very close. Haven't played Magnolia in about 15 years, and noted that holes 14 15 and 16 had been completely redone because of the construction being done in that area. Those holes were in great shape it was just a little bit different. They were holding a college tournament at the time and mowing the grass at the same time we were trying to play which was a little distracting. All in all it was a great day for golf Disney.

Very Nice course

A very nice and well kept course today. Pace of play was slow almost 5hrs. But then again for a resort course that’s what you get. Course was in very good shape but a little plain for my liking.

Florida Grass

I’m from Pennsylvania and don’t play on Florida grass ever. I struggled hitting off of the grass at first but once I got the hang of it, I was hitting them straight with their very nice Taylormade rental clubs!

Exceed Expectations

The Magnolia course was much better than I expected. The course was in great shape, especially considering the number of golfers who play there every day. It's a tough layout, especially Grupys Gautlet, a brutal stretch of closing holes. Service was excellent, and the staff was great. I was really impressed from the moment we arrived. I will be back and would recommend this to anyone!

Staff here were excellent. Great arrival experience. My sister and her husband golf here frequently when they can get a reduced rate. Course is pricey.

Very good with hot deal

First time playing since the redo. Course was in very good shape and the only complaint was the bathroom on the back nine was out of order. Was told it has been out of order for a long time! The course cost in the morning is usually around 225 bucks. Not worth that, but at 135 bucks with a hot deal was worth it. Can’t figure out why on Golf now you go thru the entire procedure and you get rejected in making the time. Have a myriad of problems booking with golf now. Most times better off going to the course website. A bunch of funny things go on with Golf now and there is no, I mean NO customer service. Got rained out after 8 holes at celebration. They tell me to call golf now golf now tells me to call the course! Other horror stories, but let’s move on!

Great Day at Magnolia

I was greeted nicely as a guest. The bag drop and pro shop staff were friendly and personable as was the starter. The course was in great shape and the pace was on time. The cart service was just in time as the lightning struck and the rain fell for a fifteen minute pause in the action.
