Length 7516 yards
Slope 141
Rating 76.0

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.

Great experience!

3 friends and myself had a great time. We were catching a flight at 8:30 pm that evening and played the course at 11:00 that morning. Fun course but whatever they are doing at 16 and 17 is Mickey Mouse( no punn intended).

Overall great experience. One thing to improve on is the shower facilities. Obviously we wanted to shower after our round, before our flight and all there was in the shower was a soap dispenser on the wall in the shower. I’m sure they could add shampoo and conditioner.

Magnolia need to complete the last 3 hole development

Greens very slow and disappointing but had been sanded so understandable. Holes 16 and 17 both at 80 yrs par 3 is poor and they could be better even with the works - course very wet and cart path on 3 long holes played a part in slightly spoiling the course - very wet in places .

That said a good course some great challenging holes and if greens speed up will be good

Overpriced and Misleading

I played this course with some friends off of a hot deal this past Sunday. The course itself was in okay condition. I get a hurricane just passed but we played other courses in better shape for much less. If we didn’t get a hot deal we would’ve payed $150-$170 for our round. On the second whole the starter told us we were playing to slow and backed up the first tee box, even though the group ahead of us took 20 minutes to reach the green, and caused us to tee off late. Then each hole was cut horrible, so if you didn’t drain the putt dead center of the hole it would lip out, which was incredibly frustrating. The most egregious part was hole 16 and 17. I understand the course is under construction however they mislead everything. Hole 16 is closed and you are teeing off from a temp tee box 80 yards to the right of the green, same with hole 17. On the website it says temp tees, but it does not say that two of the holes are chip and putts with an attack angle that makes the greens wide and skinny. Hole 16 looked finished so I don’t get why we couldn’t play it. Hole 17 is just not there, it’s just the green and you chip onto it from the 18th tee. They offer 15% off but the most expensive tee time is $170, so its already way overpriced. Play any other course in Orlando, it’ll be cheaper and kept way better. You are paying for the Disney name and that is it.

Magnolia Golf Course

It’s a lovely course but not sure play should have been allowed that day. Fairways were extremely wet from previous rains and cart path only. They were so wet that even walking in fairways was a challenge do to mud and wetness. I played with my husband and the ladies tees were usually quite far from the cart path while the men’s tees were right on the cart path. In addition construction and temporary holes were not enjoyable. I was disappointed because we had so looked forward to an enjoyable round. The staff were lovely and helpful. The course was not worth the green fee because of its condition. Had I realized how bad it was I would never have played that day.

The course should be closed. There is standing water in almost every holes, fairways are almost unplayable with out looking for high ground. Lay out is great and greens are challenging but putt well. I will go back to play again after it has a chance to dry out.

Great Track

Still a little messy for the last few holes as they "reimagine" the course but nothing that takes away from much from the enjoyment.

Overall a great experience for us as returning guests

Deceptively challenging track

What a well-kept course. The fifteenth hole, being the newest addition, was absolutely outstanding. The course design is very well done, and is very deceiving when it comes to difficulty. Hidden elevations and sloped bunkers are often present. Course was in immaculate shape all around, and how can you beat the amenities of Disney World? I will be returning when the 16th and 17th have finished construction.

Great time

Outside of the last few holes being modified I loved this course. The modification of the course could be handled alot better as in the way it’s directed by staff but the price of the course reflects this. Actual course conditions were quite amazing. Big Wayne the starter was awesome!

Course in excellent shape

Beautifully manicured tee boxes, fairways and greens. With the exception of reimagining 15,16 and 17 and the tees moved extremely forward on 18 the layout is rewarding as long as you find the fairway.

Magnolia

The course was in great condition and we were having good fun until we got to the 15th. we weren't aware of the reconstruction of 15,16 and 17 beforehand and would have been better off not playing the temporary layout. should be great when completed though
