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

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!!!
Enjoyed it
It was a nice course to play other than the pace of play I enjoyed my experience. There was a lady in the group behind us that made a hole in one on the 6th hole.
The course is great
Thanks i apreciate the course and i am very happy and the course is great
very nice facility
great golf course can't wait to return, play both courses the palm and magnolia.
Great course with great layout
I played the Disney Magnolia course for the first time on 8/30/14. Great course, greens were quick, fairways were plush. It was extremely hot, but I tried to not let that take away from the experience. Only complaint was the pace. It was SLOW SLOW SLOW. The round was well over 5 hrs long and when the heat index is 109 it gets old quick. I will go back when the weather cools off. All in all I really recommend this course.
absolutely a great course
what a course! perfectly manicured fairways. Everything was spectacular. So this is what a PGA course is like.
Drainage
I can't remover when was the last time that I played and this course didn't have cart path only holes. Everything else was good.
Great layout
I very much enjoy playing this course, it is no longer in the pristine condition it used to be, however their prices have been adjusted accordingly.
As mentioned by others it was cart path only and I was surprised at how wet the course was. The wet conditions make it much more challenging, didn't get much roll.
Still enjoyed the round, will return when conditions dry out.
Highly recommend!!
Despite the fact I the only two-some in a stacked course of four-somes it was great! The staff was incredibly friendly and the course was just perfect! Loved every second of the experience.
A Fun Course With Some Challenges
The course was in very good shape, as always for a Disney course. The fairways and tee boxes were first rate. The greens rolled true and were faster than average for a resort course, though not as fast as I've seen them in the past. I can't comment on the pace of play as we were the first group out and played in under 4 hours.
Great shape.
It was in great condition when I played. Greens rolling true and relatively fast, but nothing scary. Usually all the Disney courses are pretty packed because of all the tourism but was able to get my round in right around 4 hours. No beverage cart driving around. It was stationary only on 2 holes, which on a very hot Florida summer day was too far apart.
the course was in great condition
great time. played in 4 hours we got out on time and staff was very pleasant I would go back in a heart beat.
Great shape.....
It's nice to see the Magnolia available on GN.....!
Course was in excellent condition, in spite of the heavy rains lately......much dryer than the neighboring Palm course. Greens were excellent and fairways lush.
Food and beverage is only available from a small shack at the start and as you'd expect at Disney, is expensive and mediocre, but water and ice are available on the course.
Pace of play tends to be slow, as is typical on most resort courses. We played Sunday morning and took 4:40 to get around. All wooded areas are marked as lateral water hazards in an effort to speed up play, but you just can't do much with the Disney/tourist/resort crowd. It is what it is.
Good course at a good price. Expert tip....pass on the $10 bucket of range balls and just head to the range, where you WILL find plenty of half-hit buckets available for your warm up.
Play the course, just be prepared to be there for a while.
The course was nice will play again
The course was nice . Had a great round not to difficult. The price was nice for local residents the play was very slow but really enjoyed it!!!
the course is a great course
When I booked this course I was unaware that the rates were for residents only.We still were allowed to play but I do not think the courses should be on the golfnow list if it they do not want visitors in that state to play the course.Even though we didn't finish,it was a great experience to get to play the Magnolia Course.
Fun course to play
It's a fun course to play. It's's challenging and playable for both new and seasoned golfers. Best thing was the price I paid as a Florida resident.
Great challenge and a great place to play
The Staff is wonderful and friendly. Lots of diversity with sand, lakes, trees, and hills. Great place to play for the more challenged golfer but a beginner might find it overwhelming. The greens were fast. No complaints. Great value for your money.
Play Like the Pros!
This course is all around a great place to play. The layout is fair but you can definately get yourself in trouble. Very fast and grainy greens that roll great. The fairways are nice with a beautiful first cut of rough and the second cut is very plush and fair. The bunkers were maintained great and nice to hit out of! GPS was spot on; it was also nice playing a course you get to watch the pros play. Overall a great place!
Much Improved Magnolia
It has been years since I played the Magnolia Course, it was starting to show it's age... I started playing the course in 1979 and it was a bargain in those days... I would state that again with my most recent round... the GolfNow deal and the perfection of the course was truly a treat. The staff could not have been friendlier, we were even thanked for keeping up with the pace... The greens were absolutely true and the rest of the course was in perfect condition... we will be playing there again soon.....
