About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6870 yards
Slope 131
Rating 73.7

The 18-hole Palm 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, Palm Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort measures 6870 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 131 and a 73.7 USGA rating. The course features 4 sets of tees for different skill levels. Greens and fairways are bermuda grass.

The natural Florida woodlands provide a stunning backdrop to one of America's premier resort courses. Architect, Joe Lee, designed the 6,870-yard Palm with elevated tees and greens. The key ingredient, of course, was the Florida palm and he made good use of nearly every variety for aesthetic and strategic purposes. Its fairways are crafted through a pine forest of mature, natural woodlands that includes moss-dappled oak, maple and cypress trees. Palmetto scrub fills the forest floor. It boasts of more than its share of water and sand with nine water holes and 94 bunkers.

This is a perfect choice for everything from a casual round to a large group outing.

Beautiful Course

Bag drop and cart return were great with very attentive staff! Course layout was nice with a few pretty challenging holes! Very well maintained and beautiful course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all very nicely maintained. Would play this course again, but not when it's really hot! My big (and only) complaint about the course is that they don't really have a restaraunt/bar (19th hole) near the pro shop to hang out in after you play. They have a snack shack by the putting green, but it's outside. We were roasting due to the heat and wanted a place to cool off and have a beverage after our round. Having a nice air conditioned restaraunt/bar to relax and have a drink would be a great addition!

We would definitely play here again

Amazing experience

This course is in wonderful condition. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The complementary range balls are just what is needed to warm up for the best round of your life. This course has just enough challenge to make it fun while not heartbreaking. I went with two youth golfers and they didn’t feel overwhelmed with the difficulty either. Can’t wait to get to play again!

Can’t beat Disney !

Everything and everyone was top notch just like anything Disney. The course was probably the best manicured I have ever seen. The pace was good and the ranger came around regularly to make sure it wasn’t too long. Would definitely play again.
