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 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.

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

Course just ok
Corse was just ok. The last holes were like playing a public course. All greens were so slow . Not fast at all. Overall a little disappointed. Also a big thing was my wife had a hole in one on #3 and the staff said the pro shop has something for her. It was to fill out a form to get a certificate sent to her. I would think maybe a hat would have been nice. Course playing ok . Will be good when they complete all their work on the last 3 holes.
not like disney
at 10:30 am, We were told by the starter that we were the last group to go out before an afternoon tournament. He said no one would be behind us and we could stop to get lunch after the first nine. Subsequently (4 times) we were rushed by a ranger. This made us rush which affected our golf and it took the enjoyment out of the round. This was very un-Disney like, and also very disappointing.
Disappointing
Slow round with no martial
Still under reconstruction to 3 temp holes really short.
Thought maybe it would be discounted due to on coarse work
6 holes cart path inly didn’t help.
Will be outstanding when the new tee boxes open.
The only reason I gave course conditions 3 stars is because we had to play from temporary teeing areas. I'm anxious to play it again once they are open. It's a beautiful course and fun to play.
Solid
The staff was very friendly and track was in great shape for the most part. A couple of things rubbed me the wrong way though. Range balls were included (awesome) but the range mats were terrible. All beat up and muddy. Also, the bathrooms out on the course were closed. Neither are deal breakers. But for it being Disney and a $200 round... at least replace your range mats once and a while!
Fun but…
I like the Disney courses but I wouldn’t consider them ‘memorable.’ The course was decently maintained, and there is a good mix of water and sand. Range balls are included in the price which is nice. Holes 15, 16, 17 and 18 are modified due to nearby road construction which accounts for the reduced greens fee. Course play is 4.5 to 5.0 hours though the layout would indicate a quicker pace. I love Disney and the occasional sound of the Magic Kingdom train’s whistle is great, but feel that the courses are overpriced.
Disney magic
Tees and Fairways are in great shape. Not much rough here. The greens are slow. I don’t like slow greens. Wish I had a solution to problem. They are receptive on approach but I can’t hit it hard enough to get it there.
In the distant future the course has potential.
This course being a Disney property you would
expect good to excellent conditions but it was
Quite the opposite. The overall course from fairways
to greens appears to be lacking water for health
grass growing. Putting on the greens was not fun
which everyone knows can be very frustrating. The
Back 9 on hole 17 we learned was under construction
for the past 2 years and it doesn’t look like they are
anywhere close to completion. All that being said for the cost of a round you should consider a different facility.
Disappointed Player!!!!!!!!
Construction and hole rerouting ruins the day
I booked with TeeOff and was not advised of the construction and hole rerouting. Compounding the problem was that the impact was on the last 3 or 4 holes. They actually needed rangers to tell you where to go. You could not enter your score for handicap because it was just unrealistic. You definitely need a laser because your watch won't work and the cart GPS was just difficult to understand. Too bad, because the rest of the course was quite nice and it will be great when finished, but a waste of money and time yesterday.
Very disapointed that TEEoff, Golf Pass did not make a point of highlighting the issue. We were advised by Magnolia the day before about the construction but by then too late to book something else.
Magnolia still in transition
Elected to play Magnolia with hot deal and knew the last few holes were still being reworked. Given that, Magnolia can still be a top notch course but I thought the greens and overall appearance is not to Disney standards. Greens were slower than I expected and had more than a few blemishes.
Given the price I paid, it was still a value. I won’t rush to go back until it is completed.
Course Modifications
The Magnolia is one of my favorites in Orlando. Unfortunately they were working on a few holes and change the layout. If you have the option. I would wait until they complete their works before playing there.
Greens not in good shape. Slow.
Course under construction, was supposed to receive a discount, never happened.
Certainly not up to Disney standards.
Slow greens
The greens were painfully slow. We were told that the maintenance crews used the wrong grass cutters on the greens the week before and scalped them. They had to let the greens grow and will cut them to a proper length so they can roll better(around a 10 on the stimp meter) again.
Phenomenal Golf Experience
I golfed with my two adult sons and had an incredible time. Every staff person that we encountered was very welcoming and just about as friendly as you could be. We had a fourth person with us. They introduced us to the guy joining us and made sure we were good and he was good. The tee boxes, course and greens were extremely well maintained. It also helped that the weather was perfect! We are golfing Disney Palm tomorrow and are really looking forward to it after having golfed Disney Magnolia.
