Slope 142
Rating 76.6

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 7505 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 142 and a 76.6 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.

Good course sometime soon I hope

The local road construction takes away from the premier atmosphere and course conditions they want the customer to experience, but not at this time.

Merveilleux

Tout est extraordinaire. Le terrain est magnifique. Je n’ai pas donné 5 étoiles simplement parce qu’il est en réparation.

Disappointing

Always loved Disney courses unfortunately Magnolia is under construction and still charging full price to many. Golfpass saved us some money but when you go play 18 holes, no one wants to play 14 holes and 4 half holes that don't register for entering scores towards maintaining a handicap. It has soured my taste for Disney golf. Until further notice Magnolia is the saddest place on turf!!!

It pains me to complain

We did not realize that the course is under construction. Disney personnel were nice but the end product included 1/2 the back nine being under construction. When it is done, I am sure it will look lovely; unfortunately, as much as I love to play Disney, the construction made me feel ripped off!

Value not there

Staff is friendly, as expected from anything Disney. Very nice practice putting area, but range mats were very hard. Was afraid to hit down too hard with irons. Course was in decent shape, except for 4 holes under construction. Wouldn't have minded if this was a $50 round of golf, but they still charge full price, ~$150, which was ridiculous for the type of course this was and the construction. Website said you'd get 15% off at clubhouse, but they wouldn't honor it because I paid online. Food could be better. Bread on my ham sandwich was dry and stale. A course costing this much back in Michigan would be pristine at $150. Would give 4 stars if price was appropriate, but value for money did not match one bit.

The Story of 2 courses

The first 14 holes are typically Disney nice. A fun and moderately challenging course. The last 4 holes are under construction and really were a let down.

15 will be nice once the tee boxes are open. 16 will be nice - but very difficult once the full hole is open. The interim setup isnt very good. 17 is basically terrible. The hole was cut into the side of a steep slope and was impossible to stop the ball within 4 feet of the hole. 18 is ok and will be better once the tees are open again.

Pricey even under construction

:) nice boutique and 50% pro

:( greens are average, and slow

Pace is horrible

Marshall do not adress slow players

Last 4 holes are under construction and horrible, so why they keep price up ?

Bunkers has little sand

Some fairways have pat hes

Workers were just talking, nobody is actually working

They should charge half the price, so i do not recommend Magolia

Course was very good but...

The course was in great shape. However on holes six and seven the mowers continued to mow next to us while we were on the tee box trying to tee off. Tried to flag them down but they paid no attention.

Course was still being worked on. The staff was great but course conditions were not great. I understand the Disney connection but we played several other courses that we paid less money for and were in better shape.
