Length 7505 yards
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.

Enjoyed the round even though the course was pretty wet after lots of rain recently. Really nice homes surrounding the course and only a few holes were cart path only.

I wish they had a combo tee for Ladies.

The course was very wet from overnight rain. Cart path only which was understandable given the conditions but it certainly takes some of the enjoyment out of the round and slows down play.

A nice course. Greens were very slow. Layout is good.

It's a common complaint for me on Disney courses, but i really wish you had some combo tees, to give Lady golfers a choice of tee beds.

On Palm, LBV and Magnolia, the front tees are between 5100 to 5200 and the next tee bed is around 6000 yards. You then have 3 or 4 tee beds at 4-5 hundred yard intervals.

Basically the guys have a choice of 4 or 5 tee beds at 400-500 yard intervals, and the Ladies have 1, as 6000 yards is too far for most Ladies.

Course is great shape

The course is only 14 holes right now as the last 4 holes are being renovated. Carts have GPS and when I played the greens were super fast but the whole course was in great condition. A bonus was the beers were reasonable at $5 each or 6 for $25.

Magnolia

Not ready for a full review with half the course. It's hard to rate a course that has the last 4 holes UC. (Under Construction) and not to be advised before making a reservation and paying full price for it. Finding out right when you check in.

What option would you have? Leave. Drive back or play 14 holes. At least I shot my best score!

Magnolia Disappointed

Course only has 14 holes open. There was nothing posted and we were not informed of this until check in. No offer to let us play a different course, not even a mention of discount or refund. Should have at least offered another option.

Awesome time

Loved all the great names of the holes and beautiful signage at each hole. GPS in the carts was amazingly there to lead the way. Use extra towel to dip in ice bucket and stay cool!

Cart gal Taylor had food and beverage for us and stopped by twice. She is a true professional in making magic

Starter did outstanding job of sharing all the right advice .

Greens were true and rewarded the intentional golfer.

Nice Disney course

First played it about 10 years ago, and like all things Disney, Magnolia is a great experience. However, we only played 14 holes due to four getting renovated. Always fun to play a former PGA stop, though. Probably a little pricey but you pay for the Disney “magic” experience.

Was a fun day on the course and it was in pretty good shape, especially since it is about to be closed for a little while. Didn’t really remember that many holes from the previous round. The par 3 sixth hole is the one that has a bunker shaped like Mickey Mouse.

With only 14 holes in play, the rate was discounted from the normal rate. Nearly all the workers were the usual extremely friendly Disney people, but one guy in the pro shop was a little terse with our group. Not sure when the next chance to play Magnolia will be but might again down the road when the entire course is back open.

The major issue I had yesterday was that none of the starters were able to set the cart into handicap mode for me. I had so much trouble navigating the course in a non handicap mode cart. Had to try to remove the cart from restricted areas all round. Seems like someone should be proficient in setting that handicap mode for us that rely on having it set correctly. Otherwise the course and the hit deal was terrific.

Pace of Play

For someone who was just out there to have fun , the pace of play was just right for my wife and I . We never felt rushed with the intervals between us and the other golfers was great .

Can’t Wait For The Renovations

This a very good course that rates at the top of “good” courses. They are working on holes 15, 16, 17 and 18. If after to reno it improves the course then it will be well worth the price. About 25-30% of the tees have many bare spots, but they are level and teeing of was not a problem. The fairways were very good and are kept green and cut short.

You very much need a discount to play this course until all the work is complete and all 18 holes are open. I will be happy to enjoy this course in the near future.
