Disney's Magnolia Golf Course

1I played like crap. Greens were fast and 16 and 17 were being renovated so they were short par 3s (I actually played those well) otherwise course was in great shape. Range balls included, large putting green were great additions. For the after 4pm price we got it was a steal. Had some slower groups in front which made it a longer round but still a fun day.

Wish I could say that our 9th annual trip to these courses will make a 10th however not sure if the leadership turnover with Disneys golf courses and lack of professionalism will bring us back. Courses were fine but like many reviews here staff is just aloof. Pace of play issues abound and when there are openings such as our early morning time in which we actually finished in under 3:45 we were scolded to keep up with the group in front of us(who were a 3some and our cart timer had us 28 minutes ahead of pace at the time). I gave my information to one of the managers for the aloof staff and poor situation (beyond the above issue) including my email and phone number yet no one reached out.

If this is how management treats guests with no communication when issues arise then I’ll find another course group in a highly competitive travel market.

Buyer beware…

The course is ok, not great , and both 16 and 17 holes are temp. holes. The 18th tee box is shortened to accommodate 17th tee box.

The 16th and 17th holes are being reworked. That in itself was fine but the signage to the tees was inadequate.

Very enjoyable course. Very friendly staff. Pace of play was 4 hours. I would give the course a 5 star rating if not for the re routing and redesign of holes 15-18. Great value.

Nice layout. Pace on the greens are excellent. Pace of play was 4 hours. I would rate this course higher, however the 15th through 18th holes are being redone. A bit confusing. Par 4’s that are being played as par 5’s. Par 4’s that are being played as 90 yard par 3’s.

The staff is very friendly. The course overall shape is very good. Hopefully, they’ll compete the course updates soon.

Course was great hope to come back when work is completed 16-17 holes

Layout for first 14 holes was average. Last 4 holes with construction was a bit of a cluster. Rangers were aggressive and rude as our 4 some was playing at a decent pace. For around $250 a round with club rental it was a stretch., at best. I expected more from Disney. Most likely would not play again.

Arrived at course to find no parking available. After circling 15 minutes was able to follow someone out who was leaving. Magnolia is still undergoing a renovation, so routing was crazy for the last 4 holes. On hole 6 our GPS fencing system said we were off course, but we were on a bridge at the par 3. We reported it and had to play the hole with the cart in reverse. After 3 holes finally they brought us a new cart to switch in to. On 17 you have to drive up the 18th hole and we almost got hit by the group on the tee that didn’t see us. Last 4 holes are in garbage shape. This is a pure Disney greed to keep the course open. I would wait till this grows in later this summer.

For the money the course conditions leave something to be desired.

14 holes "in play" construction on 15-18, shortened holes, no idea of yardage., 15 was a short dogleg, but no idea on driving distance from tempory tees to corner of dogleg. 16 was "about" 120 yards from tees in fairway, 17 was about 80 yards , 18 about 320 yards. Pro shop didn't identify these issues.. made a great layout less than memorable.canceled our return visit as a result. greens top dressed and slow

A little slow at first but all in all moved at a good pace. All the staff were excellent and friendly.
