Disney's Magnolia Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Unfortunately, the climate of recent has not been conducive to healthy turf growth, but we expect that as the weather warms up again, that the vibrancy of the turf will again return.-Management Photo submitted by Ah1122 on 03/24/2021

14 not 18
course only had 14 holes instead if 18 available. I was not aware of this prior to booking. course in ok shape which seemed below Disney standards.
Only 14 holes???
We arrived at Magnolia and proceeded to the Pro Shop to check in for our tee time. The staff member that checked us in was very nice and professional. With that said, we overheard another golfer in the Pro Shop say that he was surprised that there were only 14 holes open on the course for play. Hearing this, we then asked the same staff member if this was the case and he confirmed that holes 15, 16, 17 and 18 were not open for play due to the rerouting of the course redo. When we booked the tee time online tee time we didn't see any obvious reference to what the actual nature of the alert was. Most often these alerts pertain to punched greens or fairways, bunker work or other maintenance work being done on the course. We never expected that we'd only be playing 14 holes that day. With that said we had booked another tee time at Magnolia for the following week but have decided to cancel it under the circumstances. Lastly, we did go back to review the online booking site and finally found the reference to 14 hole alert buried in the fine print on the complete this tee time segment of the reservation page. In all fairness, an alert like this should be indicated much more clearly in a bold highlighted print somewhere that's far more obvious.
Further to my previous
Disney, after seeing my review, contacted me to acknowledge that I was overcharged and I have a refund coming. Kudos for the quick customer care, JR
longball
Course was in fair condition, several ratty areas. Only14 holes I understood why. Fee should be commensurate with absence of 4 holes.
Bad value only 14 holes open
I paid full 18-Hole rate for only 14 open holes through Golf Now and because they billed me in advance I was unable to get the 33% refund the clubhouse offered people who booked directly with the course. I was told to contact GolfNow by Disney to get the refund they were giving. Unable to reach Golf Now and still haven’t got a refund. Bad value and this was a rip off.
Very Disappointing
Thankfully we obtained a "hot rate" of $81 per player instead of the $159 they were charging the non-Florida residents.
That price was to play 14 holes as 4 holes were under construction. We were aware of this going in before we purchased. Again, thankfully we paid only $81 under a "hot rate".
Play was extremely slow. The condition of the course was average at best which was disappointing. We had played this course before and it was in much better condition.
It certainly wasn't the Happiest Place on Earth that day!!!

A lot of money for 14 holes
Paid $173 for the round. Wanted to play this course because of its history. Very disappointed that we seemed to have paid full price for only being able to play 80% of the course.
GolfNow told us about the 4 hole closure (15-18), but still wanted to play. Just shocked that they still charged the price.
If all 18 were available, a 5 rating across the board

As per the notification on our website, which has been posted since late November, Disney's Magnolia Golf Course is still in the process of completing the reimagination project that started in Spring 2022. All guests are supposed to receive a 33% discount due to the fact that we have 23% less holes available for play. Only holes #1 - #14 are currently open. Please visit https://www.golfwdw.com/courses/disneys-magnolia-golf-course for more information!

Staff are the most friendliest around.
Played while the course is re-doing the last four holes. We booked on golf now and didn't know it was just 14 holes. However the staff did everything they could do to to make up for it. Offer to let us play 4 to 14 more holes when we were done. Everyone there was super friendly. Course other wise was in great condition. Also great lay out.
