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.

Favorite Course!!!

By far the nicest course I've played. 1st year playing and Magnolia has been the nicest course I've been too. That being said, the par 5s are no joke. BRING YOUR A GAME AND A RED BULL!!!! TOUGH!!!!

Happiest Place on Turf

On Saturday. I went out golfing as I am a member of Disney's Player's Club. I brought my girlfriend out to ride in the cart as she does not play. It was a beautiful day out and not to overwhelming with the heat. The holes were in beautiful shape and I appreciated the Player Assistant's coming by every other hole providing ice cold lemon scented towels.

Disney golf courses really treat you well and ensure your time is well spent on the course.

Magnolia is a great course to play, Very scenic with lots of wildlife. If you are lucky, a bobcat lives on the course along with deer, otters, gators, and more. Magnolia was previously the home of the PGA Tour. Each hole has a sign that shares a special moment that happened during it's time on tour. Most holes play long so you can hit driver off the tee. Some holes are forgiving with others challenging on tight fairways, multiple water hazards, and trees.

You will have a great time on this course.

Hot day, great course

First time out playing Mag. Picking a 12:30pm tee time in late June was a mistake but the course was in great shape. Couldn't believe that the greens were actually slower than I am used to especially since it had been bone dry and hot for the past 3 days. Course was in good shape, played fair but challenging. Can't imagine playing from the tips here, whites were extremely fair but forced you to pick your shot. Already played LBV and Palm so this was the 3rd of 3 I wanted to check off. Being a Orlando resident has its perks and cheap tee times at an awesome course is one of them.

Overbooked with poor maintenance and bumpy green

Sad but I cannot find anything good to say about my Golf experience at Magnolia. Five hours round waiting for 2 groups at each tee box. Marshall’s are not doing much, course condition poor and the greens are slow and bumpy ... probably on purpose to protect the greens from such a high traffic. Disappointing for the $$$.

Tough test, but enjoyable round!

Course was in very good shape and the staff was very friendly.

I'm a 5 handicap who played both the Palms and Magnolia this week, and the Magnolia plays significantly longer and tougher. Good variety of holes, and while tough, it's still fun to play.

The rates are a little stiff for non-residents (something that is consistently true of Disney!), but overall it was an enjoyable round.

Magnolia at Disney

First off, my tee time was 645am so, after a day at Animal Kingdom, with a two year old, I was pretty tired. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE GOOGLE MAPS TO FIND THIS COURSE!!! Maps will take you to the Four Seasons resort.

After a few moments to cool down from the Maps mishap I spent a few minutes on the putting green to calm down. I headed over to the 1st tee and met my fellow earlybirds. The staff was amazing. Periodically they would keep us updated on the event that wentoff on the 10th. The whole time we were out there I saw maybe 8 golfers. The course was manicured to perfection and the greens were immaculate. I don't know what kind of grass they had on the greens, but it was perfect.

The course layout is beautiful and being the first off we saw much wildlife. Deer, turkey, gators, and all the general fawna that one would find in Florida.

Overall this was an enjoyable experience that I hope to experience again and again.

Great course

This course has a great layout and the course is well maintained. The course was backed up because a threesome of ladies decided they were gonna play the white tees...they were all over the course. I know they were excited to play the course, but play to your ability and enjoy your round. They were definitely not enjoying their round. Kudos to the starter; 10 was backed up 3 groups and he let us slide off the front again with no groups in front...turned a 5 1/2 hour round into a 4 hour round.

Disappointing

I have played Magnolia for more than twenty years but have never seen the course in this poor condition. Bunkers were inconsistent, greens very slow and unfilled divots were prevalent, Pace of play was acceptable for a course that serves a number of couples or adults with younger players spread throughout the tee sheet. I do think the course condition was not up to prior years. Still, I enjoy the course. and will return.

Great golf in the heart of magic

Played on 3/6/18, cold morning, every cast member was very friendly and very helpful. Course was in great shape, fairways were plush and greens rolled true. Pace of play was not an issue as the starter made sure groups were playing the correct tees.

A Disney Experience!

Typical of Disney that every aspect of the experience is assured to give guests an unforgettable time. From the staff, to the course, to the scenery, to the pace of play and wildlife, we had a terrific time. Ed, the Marshall & Starter was most helpful and in particular in helping to retreave my wife’s lost club.
