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 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.

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

Not what we thought
Not a good course, grounds were bad, will not play there again. Only good thing is we saw 2 alligators and wild turkeys. Would not recommend this course. Very disappointed.
FORMER PGA TOURNEY COURSE
ON & OFF SHOWERS SO COURSE WAS NOT FULL, PLAYED AS A 2some UNDER 4hrs. FORMER PGA TOURNEY COURSE THAT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A RESORT COURSE ( GREENS WERE MANAGEABLE) TIP TO DISNEY: PUT THE 10inch CUPS ON THE PAR 3 OAK COURSE!! I WOULD HAVE PLAYED OAKS WITH MY GRANDSON.
Tourist trap
The course is way too expensive for the quality it has to offer. The fairway are yellow at places, greens are not constant, bunkers are far from the pictures on their web site, you can play way better courses for the same money or less in the Orlando area
Well Used, but enjoyable.
The greens need some work, not at there best.
The course needs a little T L C & golfers need to look after it a little more & be told to by the starter.
Not the Happiest place on earth
Milo was the only happy guy there! Staff really wasn't pleasant....course play was very slow...not in great shape...you could tell it's "beat up"...
Not even a good value for the $75.00 golf now price
Not up to its Name
It is a nice course to play , but not up to Disney standards.Past course in much better shape.Would never pay their full price to play.
same as always
Play a lot, always in good shape, staff could be friendlier.
Poor condition, not at Disney Quality Level, Sad Case
Bought range balls for $12.00; no place to hit because range only has spaces of 8. Course is in fair to poor condition; fairways have many dry spots, no overseeding this past year so grass in many areas is sparse. Looks like cost savings projects are everywhere. Beverage cart is stationary for convenience of facility. Air compressor to clean shoes broke months ago and still not fixed, not working. Some sand traps packed very hard. Staff seems clueless on their ability to make things better. The only ones happy with Magnolia and Palm are the accountants who will be pleased with reduced costs, and they will be surprised at reduced revenues to follow. Disney needs a fix here!
Great experience
Awesome course,,will play every time I'm in the Orlando area,,a must play
Ugly
Horrible pace of play and ranger said "too bad" we're very busy.
Overrated
The course was in good shape considering the time of year but is overrated for what we paid to play. Hard to believe it was a PGA Tour stop. Pace of play was fine but the weather was rainy the day we played so there weren't many people playing that day.
5.5 houers is too long
Although the course has a very nice and challenging layout, the course conditions were very poor compared to other courses we played. Nevertheless the greens were in excellent conditions. Unfortunately, the average playing time is 5 hours since this course is the most played course in Orlando. In addtition, the marshal's are not able to push through the estimated playing time of 4.5 hours.
Great course, issue with the GPS unit
Pros:
Great course, fairly open, hidden Mickeys
Cons:
A little expensive for the average golfer, GPS unit had technical issues, timeshare units next to course
It rained on and off when we played, but it didn't really interfere with the round. The course has a pretty open layout with no OB on any holes. It played fairly short, even from the tips. There are a lot of bunkers and a fair amount of water, so accuracy is going to be a big factor out there. Take your time and play smart, and you should be able to shoot a low score out there.
The staff is as friendly as you'd expect a Disney staff to be. This was both in the pro shop and out on the course. There was a cart person out there every few holes selling drinks and food if you needed it.
The only real con for me was the GPS unit. The screen was really beat up and it wasn't registering our touches very well. It was taking a few minutes to enter our scores every hole. It also kept glitching and registering touches that we didn't do. We tried the "fly over" feature on 2 holes and it showed the wrong hole both times. It also wouldn't accept my email address at the end of the round, so I lost my scorecard. Another thing that shouldn't really be a con but turned out to be ... is that timeshare units are located next to the course. There was a woman outside next to the 9th green and she was trying to hold a conversation with us. I'm a friendly person, but you don't really have time for a 30 minute conversation in the middle of a round ... especially with people behind you and a set pace of play. There were a lot of people walking out and around the course, but not on any of the holes.
Overall I would recommend this course to people of all playing abilities.
GREAT TRACK
VERY FAST GREENS MAYBE 10.5 TO 11 STAFF VERY NICE OUT GOING, COURSE GREAT SHAPE PLAYED WIT MY WIFE ONLY 3.5 HRS FOR 18, GROUP IN FRONT OF US 1 HOLE AHEAD NO ONE BEHIND FOR 2 HOLES. GREAT PACE OF PLAY FOR A WED BEFORE CHRISTMASS
Disney
Course was in great condition as usual. Played in 3 hours 45 minutes as 3 some. Great day.
not pampered
As one of the more expensive courses we were very disappointed with the lack of a clubhouse. We like to relax after golf with a drink & lunch but there was only a wooden shack with exterior seating. No on course buggy, just a stand on the 10th. Empty sand bucket for filling divots. Lack of paper towels in wash room. We expected more. Course great but facilities poor. Would not play this or the other 2 courses again. Much better courses out there than this, wih the full package.
Beautiful
As you would expect, Disney goes above and beyond!!
The Nouse Trap
So so course play once and move on. expexted better conditions and more of an intriguing lay out
Disney always a great experience
The Magnolia course is beautiful. The course was showing some wear, and some of the groups were a little slow, but were we just able to finish 18 holes before dark after teeing off at 1:20.
Disney's Magnolia
Played Magnolia at a Greater Orlando Resident rate making it a good bargain. Course was in good shape. Greens rolling true and fast. Saw Deer, Turkey, Eagles, Ospreys and Herons. Plenty of bunkers (97), water and treelines so you better it it straight.
