Disney's Magnolia Golf Course
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

Well let's see.....This is the second time in 2 consecutive weeks that they've not me tee off at my scheduled time. Both were booked through GolfNow with confirmations. Week 1 I was booked for 8:33. Didn't go off until like 9:15 because the 8:33 tee time was already booked with a foursome??? I was a single. Then, the second week, showed up from my 8:33 tee time and he couldn't find the tee time. I showed him the email confirmation. Says he 'found it' and then looked at my starter slip and it said 8:42. I think he just put me in. Anyway, they came to me and asked if i wanted to play the Palm instead of the Magnolia. I just wanted to play golf so I just went with it. The checkin staff in the Pro Shop aren't the friendliest, kind of have a elitist feel about them.
Always a fun day at Disney
Our group had a great round at the Magnolia course at Disney. Always a fun track to play, the course was in great shape with the dormant rough and green fairways. I love that look in the winter. The greens were extremely pure! Fast and rolled true.
Great course
Welcome to the Disney Machine.
The course is great and it only suffleres a little bit after IRMA. The straffe is friendly, but its like be a part of a machine....in here, standard info, out here.....not personale as it was at Waldorf Astoria.
Joined a great ball with 3 excellent guys from Cuba/Puerto Rico ....thanks a lot guys
Nice Course
Teed off in the fogi whch was cool. Never done that before, couldn't see the ball after 15 yardso off the tee. The fog cleared halfway through the 2nd hole so all was good. The course is in great sharpe and pretty dry for Magnolia. The staff were super nice and helpful. The fairways were nice and the greens were excellent. I got the 9 holes and breakfast deal they offer for $39. You get a breakfast sandwich, coffee or juice before golf and a soft drink or beer after. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. The pace of play was good and I really enjoyed the 9 holes. I would do this again.
Over rated
Did not like the pace of play. They had a ranger who indicated it was slow after the first hole and had taken care of problem . This was actually good that they were proactive however the pace never improved through nine holes. Took 2 hours and 30 minutes. Second nine improved because some groups dropping out ahead of us. Course condition was very good and liked the layout. Not worth the overall value. Rental clubs included Taylor made m2 woods and irons. Good set and rental shoes and dozen golf balls included.southbury
With a wdw course you know what conditions will be-top notch
Played on a cool day, windy. One hole was cart path only as wet. Greens were in good shape and fast. The overall course condition is very good. They did have a delayed start this morning due to frost but I played just before noon and they were back on time. My only complaint is they do not sell any Bud products on any of the Disney courses. So if you want a beer during or after the round you might not like the choice
Disney Golf..where good golf happens
I arrived at the pro shop just at my tee time because of traffic and road construction on the DIsney property. But the guys in the pro shop got me on quickly and without a hassle. I started golfing alone, but several holes in I noticed that there were 2 groups of 4 in front of me and two gentlemen behind me. I decided to play along with the two behind me because play would not move quickly and it is better to play with another group than alone. The course was good, but I would think Disney could spend some money and repave all of the golf cart paths. There were a lot of holes and bumps. Reminded me of driving on the roads in Pennsylvania. Always appreciate the refreshment cart coming around and not just with beverages but food items also. The whole experience was very positive.
Magnolia
Best of the Disney courses. Long layout with some challenging carries. Course has the Mickey Mouse hole. Best hot dogs in Orlando. Friendly and professional staff.
Great staff and good layout
We were a foursome and had to change our tee time due to inclement weather coming in. The staff at the proshop was extremely accomodating and had our group tee off earlier without any trouble. The course was in great shape and was a good challenge for all of our players ( handicap from 8 to 22). Would definitely play the course again and again.
Great Deal
Excellent afternoon deal on a long, challenging but fair course
Followed a very slow 4 ball but that aside really enjoyable
Magnolia golfing experience
2nd time playing this course. Enjoyable experience again. Greens superb fairways in splendid order. Back to play again next week.
Experience at Disney Magnolia
A great round of golf. Course layout excellent pace of play good. Greens in good condition. Would definitely recommend this course. Back to play it next week.
Nothing Special
We found nothing special about this course. Layout was not as challenging as we expected for a course that has previously hosted PGA Tour events. Conditions were average with lots of weeds/crabgrass in fairways. No clubhouse per se. Food & beverage was limited....mostly beer and a limited selection of mixed drinks with we're mix yourself. Just not the special experience we expected.
Great golf course
Really enjoyed our round of golf today. Excellent conditions at a great course. Would recommend it to anyone.
Awesome course
We had wanted to play this course for a few years and finally decided to pay a little extra then we are used to. We were not disappointed. The staff is excellent and the course is extremely well maintained. In addition, the carts have GPS systems making club selection easier and there are multiple restrooms on the course. Truly an outstanding experience. My wife and I will definitely be back.
An outstanding layout
This was the first time I played this course and will certainly play it again
Exceeded my lofty expectations
This being a Disney operation, expected a great course with friendly staff and great amenities, but coming from Massachusetts we were surprised just how nice the experience was for the money we spent. Greens fees were only 75 bucks, which is not much more than we are used to paying for a round at a mediocre public course back home. We rented clubs, which were current season, top of the line Taylormades with little wear on them. The course was in very good shape with few signs that a hurricane had just been through the area. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The beverage cart was well stocked and came by often enough to keep us "well hydrated". All in all a fantastic morning, and it was an easy sell to the wives because the Grand Floridian, with a fantastic spa, is in spitting distance. We'll be back to check out the Palm course next time we are in Orlando.
