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 6840 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 134 and a 73.3 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.

Fun, challenging, but overpriced.
Throughly enjoyed the interesting front nine. The back was fairly open and, while difficult, was open and somewhat boring. The construction on holes 2-3 was annoying and detracted from the experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was OK until #13 when it slowed to a stop and crawl. Overall, I enjoyed the round but I have played better courses in the area for half the price. Glad I finally played a Disney course but hate having to pay such a premium to the mouse!!
