Style Links
Par 72
Length 7516 yards
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.

GPS in carts needs work

The course was good as expected at the price and where your playing but the gps in the carts had wrong pin placements making me think I hit good shot just to be on the wrong part of the green was frustrating. Don’t get me wrong I love the gps when it’s in the carts but update the pins please. Also I did not like the new holes they do not match the rest of the course it was like I was on a different course just weird.

Excellent course, slow pace of play

Course is in great shape. Greens are excellent. Pace of play always an issue with Disney - as it stands, they have an expected pace of play between 4:15 - 4:30, so expecting to get around quickly is out of the question. Took us 4:50, so be prepared for a long day!

Double check with the starter about tee box placement before teeing off - we moved up a tee to keep it reasonable for players in our group, only to find that the vast majority of the tees had been moved forward - played MUCH shorter than the yardage listed on the card - a full tee box on most of the holes.

Worthy?

Price are too high for the course right now, besides that green speeds are perfect, and layout of the course is great, also a beautiful course.

Negative point: pin positions are terrible, the person that placed it probably never played a round of golf. It is in the middle of slopes making is impossible to stop close to the hole.

Disney Magnolia - A Gem in Orlando

I played the Magnolia course where the back 9 has been recently renovated. My Hole19 app didn't even have the back 9 in its system. The course was cart path only which affected the pace of play for everyone. That said it took about 4:45 to complete 18 holes. I found the course to be in excellent condition. I believe that golfers of all abilities would enjoy this course.

Highly recommend the course.

Great course for Vacation

Wide open course and greens excellent condition but not tour speed. Great to enjoy and still add a little challenge. Recommendation to play up one if you are a high handicap and 2nd to back if you are low 90s and greater. Overall nice course in excellent condition. Great food and drink prices! Courteous staff!

Course was in great shape, the newly redesigned holes 15-17 were challenging and still need a little time to grow in. Greens were quick and rolled true. It seems like tee times were a little too close together our group had too wait to hit shots all day but the gps system still said we finished ahead of pace. Overall a very nice course that is the most challenging of the three Disney courses

Worth playing if you are at Disney

The Happiest place on earth doesn’t necessarily translate to the golf course! Great layout, friendly staff, fairways and greens were perfect. It was a bit windy and the course played hard. A great challenge and very fair but plays longer than the card! Would go back and play the next time I get down there!

5 Stars but pace has to be better...

Course was in great shape and I love the new holes on the back 9. However, we were 13 minutes ahead of pace at the turn and ended 23 minutes behind pace to finish the round, a total of 5 hours. We sat on the 16th hole tee box for 12 minutes waiting to tee off because the 4-some in front of us (all of whome rented clubs) had no self awareness. I'm all for growing the game, but you can't hit it 20 yards at a time and look in the woods for all 4 balls on every hole. The rangers were out and about, but nobody said a word. Pace alone would keep me from returning. Also, it's worth the $110 hot deal, but not worth $200+. If you are willing to pay $200 there are better options.
