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.

C’mon

Drove almost 3 hours to play the Magnolia course with its newly designed “Grumpy’s Gauntlet”. Fun layout with tons of potential but the conditions were rough. Fairways and tee boxes had lots of dirt patches. Almost every green side lie was bad and the greens were not nearly as fast as they lead you to believe. Overall ok, wouldn’t recommend right now.

Slow moving

Course was very wet and muddy. Was cartpath only which slowed down the round to just over five hours for 18. Staff was very nice and friendly. Of course amenities were to be expected for the course. Was not told cartpath only until we made it to the starter which was very disappointing. Still would recommend course two friends and family.

It’s been better

The course was in ok condition. I’ve played better for the price. The gps in the carts where horrible you would make a shot to the front of the green because that’s what the cart said the flag was at only to get to the green to find out the flag was in the back. The new holes make no sense it’s like you played 1-13 on one course then left and played somewhere else for 4 holes then finished back on the course you started on for 18. Also there is a massive parking problem they wanted me to park right behind the 18th green so my truck would get hit by a 10 yard long approach shot so needless to say it took awhile to find a parking spot. Very disappointing

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.
