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 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.

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

Fast Greens
Course is in great condition but the greens are extremely fast. Really difficult to hold the green but still a great round of golf.
Under construction
Although the course layout is currently 14 holes due to reconfiguration of some of the last few holes, the course was in great shape. Tee to green was lush, with receptive greens, which were surprisingly slower than anticipated, compared to other local courses. Can’t wait to play the full 18!
Maria
Very good course, enjoy playing on the course, just we wish we could play all 18 holes
Lots of challenges
Great course with lots of challenges from water and sand bunker features. It’s changing from winter to summer grass so not as pretty as it could be. The staff was smiling and friendly.
Still 14 holes
Greens are awesome, still only 14 holes and in average shape…should be a $50 course at present. Was disappointing
Nice Day at Magnolia
Nice day on the links. Hopefully they will get holes 15, 16, 17 and 18 open soon!
REC
Arrived at the club and found out only the first 14 holes were open, 15-18 undergoing renovation. My mistake by missing a note on GolfNow. Enjoyed playing the course but the pace of play was on the slow side. Greens are relatively new with added undelations and hard so difficult to stick shots. Greens putted true, quick but fair. Would love to play the course again when renovation is complete.
Good time
We enjoyed the round of golf but they only had 14 holes to play
Average at best
Tees good, greens are spectacular the rest is average at best and still only 14 holes. Price is too high for what you get.
Course in great shape, best greens we played this month!
Only negative was slow play which other players on the National course told us is not normal there
Nice Disney Course
The course was in fair condition. We didn't expect it to be great given the time of year. The greens weren't fast by any means. The course currently has only 14 holes open so it's not a true round at the moment. I wish that Golfnow.com would have made it very obvious that the course was only playing as a 14 hole course but it was in regular print and didn't stand out. I was disappointed that the 14 hole round was only brought to our attention by the starter on the first tee. I would have otherwise canceled the tee time and made a new reservation at a different course playing all 18 holes. This isn't Disney's fault. The course is fine.
Course review.
Only 14 holes playing as remodel going on. But those 14 holes were very fun. Had 2 adults and one 13 year old playing. Fun for all.
Needs a lot of work
I was really looking forward to playing this course. I really knew very little and should have read reviews. The first thing I missed and not sure why I did not see this when making the reservation is that only 14 holes are open. It was not abundantly clear on the Disney or golf now site. I would not have played there. The facilities are worn and need an overhaul. The driving range was mats and very warn as were the range balls. I. was expecting more. The course conditions were not great. We leaned that they recently changed the greens with lot undulations and they are not as soft. There was actually a hollow sound on the greens when I would tap down ball marks. The balls would not stick. It is a resort course that did not need to be made harder or trickier.
There were a number of fun holes but again I had higher expectations for the course. The people working there were very nice. The starter was great and took the time to explain the course. We thought that was a nice touch.
Until they finish the course I would not recommend it. Although if I had the chance I would not want to play there again.
Deception
I have played here before on a wonderful well nuanced coarse. The club staff were available and friendly. Not so this time.
In addition we found out after commuting to the course that the last 4 holes were not available and we would play a total of 14 holes.
When did this slip shod behavior become acceptable.
I won’t return. For a Disney resort course this was inexcusable.

Good first experience at Magnolia
When I got to the course, it looked like it was going to be a mess. They had an outing prior to my tee time and they thought we might be delayed 1/2 hour past our tee time. There were lots of groups waiting.
Fortunately, the outing finished and they got us out slightly past our tee time and sent us off the back. We barely waited throughout the round so it worked out fine.
The course (14 holes) were in good shape with greens also in excellent shape. I would like to go back when the full course is reopened.

We are diligently working upon the condition of our practice facilities, but at this time of the year, we can't grow grass fast enough to keep the teeing ground in better condition with so many rounds being played, hence why on the Magnolia range, we are currently utilizing the mats.
The greens are firm currently because they are new, they will soften up once we aerify them this summer, this is to be expected of new greens.
