Slope 142
Rating 76.6

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.

Only down side was we waited an hour for our Disney transfer taxi when others who booked one after us got theirs. It turned out that the staff had give us the voucher but not actually booked the taxi for us which made us late for our next event.

Fun Round!

Course was very well kept and very fun and challenging. Greens were a lot tougher than expected. 16-18 were still under construction which I was aware of before my round but still was able to enjoy the last holes. Overall a really great round!

Little disappointed

For full green fees at Disney, it should have had full 18 holes of play and not multiple closed holes due to under construction.

Two holes being redone so it’s actually 16 holes . Very generic course and not at all worth the money.

Beautiful Layout - Play it even with the construction

Just an absolute gem of a layout and a true, difficult test of golf. Beautiful conditions, quick greens. Loved every moment on the course. Just beware that their standard pace is 15mins a hole and since it's disney they aren't going to push anyone that's slow out there. Bring your patience but don't let the folks complaining about 2 holes that are under construction sway you. Get a hot rate and play this beautiful track that formerly hosted a PGA Tour Event. You won't regret it.

Excellent round

Fairways were excellent, fully understand why you have to sand and service greens but should have been informed prior to playing. On the whole the course was brilliant and beautiful to play. We appreciate the last few holes were cut short due to ongoing work. Keep up the good work look forward to playing next time in Florida.

Great course

There were a couple of holes under construction, and a few long par 4 holes, but all in all it was a very nice course. Fairways and greens were very nice. Look forward to playing it again.

Truly Disappointing

Just finished playing Magnolia. Very disappointed. The course conditions were OK at best. Greens were sanded. Soggy and soft areas on fairways. Holes 16 and 17 are temporary because of course construction. Both play like a pitch and putt. We were given 15% off our rate of $175. This course under these conditions with two temporary holes is not worth half that price. We were told about the construction at check in but it is downplayed. It does not feel like you’ve played a real round of golf. Golf elsewhere until they have fixed their mess.
