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

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!!!
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.
