Disney's Magnolia Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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

Worth playing if you are at Disney
The Happiest place on earth doesn’t necessarily translate to the golf course! Great layout, friendly staff, fairways and greens were perfect. It was a bit windy and the course played hard. A great challenge and very fair but plays longer than the card! Would go back and play the next time I get down there!
5 Stars but pace has to be better...
Course was in great shape and I love the new holes on the back 9. However, we were 13 minutes ahead of pace at the turn and ended 23 minutes behind pace to finish the round, a total of 5 hours. We sat on the 16th hole tee box for 12 minutes waiting to tee off because the 4-some in front of us (all of whome rented clubs) had no self awareness. I'm all for growing the game, but you can't hit it 20 yards at a time and look in the woods for all 4 balls on every hole. The rangers were out and about, but nobody said a word. Pace alone would keep me from returning. Also, it's worth the $110 hot deal, but not worth $200+. If you are willing to pay $200 there are better options.
Didn’t get time to finish
Had to leave on hole 15.. Thought we would be able to finish the round in 4-4.5 hours. We were wrong.
4.5 hours into the round, we were on the 15 tee box with 2 4somes waiting to tee off ahead of us. The course had a single marshal that was unable to keep pace up.
Short review - Over booked, over priced.
5 star course
I rarely give 5 star but Magnolia deserves it. There is no weed on fairway nor the greens. Fairway is maintained like home carpet. I can tell they spend lots of effort on the course. Course layout is okay, but ppl are here for fun, not here to get frustrated. I will definitely go back.
A good test of golf
The greens is what makes this course more difficult, slick and lots of slope.
Fairways are friendly, just have to watch where one hits the approach shots.
Certainly worth playing.
Beautiful Course
We liked it so much more than the Palm. The Palm’s Condition was near a $20 City Course. Magnolia was immaculate. We found it more challenging than the Palm as well.
Course was great overall
Course was great overall. The newly renovated holes are pretty good but still need some growing in. The par 4's on the new holes are a little longer than you'd expect from the white and yellow tees.
The little snack bar near the practice needs a new TV. That 24" antique that is there now is not conducive to watching the end of the PGA tour event after you round. TV's are cheap these days, they need to put a new 65" 4K "outside" TV in there.
