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

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.
Wildlife
We saw a lot of deer and turkeys around the course. The course is tough with lots of water. The greens were in great shape and fast.
Always a pleasure
This is a most play course when in Orlando, lots of history and great stories related to this course. Lots of water hazards with challenging green complexes. The GPS is a big help. The fairway are in great condition and the greens were well kept and FAST.
For a greater challenge, play from the tips !
Disney Magnolia
The course was in OK shape. The greens were a little shaggy, but still putted nicely. The course took on a lot of water two days before, but it was very playable. Sand traps were in good shape. Good sand, not too hard, not too soft, not too deep, not too shallow.
Staff makes this place the friendliest place around.
The range and practice facilities were in good shape. The pro shop, rest rooms and dining room were spotless.
Magnolia is a Classic
I highly recommend this course. It offers many tees for all skill levels and it can be enjoyed by all types of golfers.
I really enjoy the classic older golf courses that feel like they belong on a property. There is no tricked up holes or any holes that were routed a certain way to fit the housing development or they ran out of room. Course was in excellent condition and played like a championship course.
Great Course - Slow Play
Course was in excellent condition. Fairways in great shape and greens were very true and fast.
But the pace of play was brutal. 5 hour 30 minute round. The backup on the second hole was 3 groups. There were rangers there to speed up play, but it doesn't seem like much could be done.
I would love to play this course again at a 4 to 4 1/2 hour pace, but waiting on every shot is not pleasant.
JUST TOO SLOW TO BE ENJOYABLE
Four groups in line on our 2nd tee (the 11th), and 2hr 45 mins for the front nine. How can this be fun? We abandoned it after 14 holes.
Course was in good shape, especially the greens.
Lots of very friendly staff and a great GPS system. So, with so much info with what is happening on the course being fed back to the pro shop, what were they all doing? They should not allow a few discourteous player to spoil everybody's enjoyment.
We expected a facility like this to have a quality bar and restaurant, but could only find a second rate snack bar.
Good golf course but could be better care
I played in three people and had tees which had three groups waiting to hit. the game was very slow
Mickey came through
Perfect course if you are looking for a nice relaxing day.
Nice But.
Course was in fairly good condition. Greens were very fast, the way we like them. But the overall wow factor was just average. Feel the overall value for the price you pay is not worth it. So many other great Golf courses in the Orlando area that were much cheaper and still great designs and equivalent conditions.
Good greens
I played this course about 5 years ago and it is still a great course. Not up to the speck of Disney but not bad.
Greens very fast and well maintained.
Bunkers very hard needs sand.
Great layout, friendly staff - Good facility to enjoy
A really nice layout. Significant wildlife and beautifully kept, play can get slow later in the day. Fairly open off the tee, apart from water on some holes. Good position off the tee however allows a better shot to the green. The greens are hard and fast, read the line carefully. At the end of the day it is Disney, you will be very well treated by friendly staff and leave with many fond memories.
Disney's Magnolia
You are welcomed with the words: The happiest place on earth.
For me it is the best place on earth for golfing!!
Staff Could Be Friendlier
For a Disney Course, amazed at how unfriendly the staff was throughout the day. Pace of play was 5hrs - 30 minutes, terrible. Course could have been mowed, but realize all the rain has prevented.
course conditions
I was surprised that the course was at wet as it was. There were some holes that were borderline non playable. Course obviously drains poorly.
GREAT COURSE & STAFF!
Course conditions were wet, CART path ONLY!
Slow play ahead, never seen a Ranger!
Greens fantastic, fabulous layout and playability, with several tees to choose from.
Could use some drainage tile in areas where water lays.
Look forward to playing again.
Disney does it best
The course in great shape, greens where dressed with sand but still I think these where the best rolling greens I ever played on. Can't say a bad thing about the course. You must play Magnolia!!!
