Disney's Palm Golf Course

The course was in horrible condition and shouldn’t have been open to public. I understand that it rained the previous few days, but we should have been warned when paying in excess of $170. I even asked when checking in about the course conditions and I was literally lied to. The grass on the tee box was higher than the face of my driver and the course was under water. We voiced our concerns after the round, and we were basically told to buzz off. The staff was very rude. What irritated me even more is that the manager couldn’t even bother take his sun glasses off (while inside the club house) to speak to me like a paying customer. As a native Floridian, I will never spend another dollar at Disney’s golf courses. Wasn’t very magical.

I’ve written many reviews on Google for various businesses. This is the first time I’m writing a negative review for a business.

Absolutely terrible customer service, coming from an organization that is all about creating “magical experiences”.

The course should have been closed. It rained non stop all week leading up to our tee time.

We were not warned that the tee box grass would be longer than the rough.

The fairways were drenched, so much so that every tee shot resulted that landed in the fairways resulted in a search for a plugged ball.

What really bothers me is that we weren’t given any warning before paying about the conditions. Course should have been closed. Shame on Disney for taking peoples money when the course was in these conditions.

I’m a Florida resident. They also charged me the out of state rate. Never asked at check in if we were local.

Seriously disappointed in an organization that should be all about transparency and taking care of their customers.

Make sure you ask a lot of questions before booking your round. Because they sure as heck won’t volunteer anything.

Nice condition and layout and pace of play. Pricey but almost worth it if you can get a hot deal.

Disney Palms is one of 3 courses in the Disney golf world. Parking is easy, and checking in at the clubhouse was a breeze. The price was great for what you get, however be careful - the booking here says you get a meal included... you don't get anything and the employees here argue with customers over it. If it wasn't for the starter, Tim, we probably would have made a bigger deal about it but Tim was amazing and easily the best employee at the course (he's the only reason they got 3 stars for staff, they would've gotten 1 without him). The course is nice, taken care of but a bit overwatered. Carts were really nice and have GPS/bluetooth. Pace of play was pretty bad, and after the first few holes, we never saw a marshal coming around keeping people going. We waited about 4-6 minutes per hole once we hit the back 9. Overall it's a nice course, but Orlando has plenty of other ones with nicer staff and better pace.

Played with my elder father as part of an annual golf trip to Orlando. Start with the good…. Cart attendant upon arrival was great, pro shop staff were kind and hospitable, starter was a very personal veteran who we engaged in a nice conversation prior to our round and who was visible throughout the day. Course was in good condition and was fair for my Father playing the forward tees. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in good condition and the course was laid out well with large landing areas. Not a lot of trouble to be had if you are hitting the ball decently.. the bad…. Pace of play. As we waited on every tee block with 3 groups on every hole. We started our day at 1pm and finished 18 in the dark after a. 5 hour plus round. We played on a Sunday so hopefully through the week the course spreads out the pairings appropriately..

Orlando is a yearly destination for a golf trip with my Father. First time at the Palm and we were impressed with the course layout and impeccable staff. From check in to first tee we were treated with class leaving a remarkable first impression. Course was very playable for a 12 handicap and an elderly Father using the forward tees to navigate. Fairways, tee blocks were in good condition along with the greens that ran slower than expected. Overall worthy of the premium price paid for the round.

Tees perfect

fairways soft

greens hold a bll run true med fast

bunkers playable

not a grip n rip play with your head you will score.

Definitely a repeat but again pricey due Disney label.

Tee boxes great

Fairways fast and rolling

greens rolled true med fast 9 on the stimp

bunkers too soft

Played Palm course. Overall course was in great condition. Greens had just been top dressed recently. Bit difficult to read due to sand, ball rolled pretty smooth. Tees and fairways were great. Some of bunkers had fresh sand and were pretty soft. Very windy day, but can't complain with 85 degree weather. Highly recommend!!

Played the Palm course for the first time. As a single golfer, was paired with 3 gents from Connecticut, Gary, Mike and Jim. Great company and very friendly.

Played off the white tees so about 6400 yds. A good test for my 7 h/c. Plenty of tees to test all levels of golfer. Lots of water features and bunkers aplenty.

Fantastic layout with a plaque at each tee giving some history of the tour events and players to have played the course over the years. The overall condition was very good and, although the greens had been sanded, they ran swift and true and we had a great time.

Highly recommend this course to anyone who perhaps thinks Disney is only about theme parks😁

I’ve always enjoyed the Disney courses (especially the Palm) which are operated by the Palmer group. The Palm is in good shape with quick greens, lush tee boxes, and uniformly healthy fairways. However, for the price they charge (up to $150!) such conditions should be expected. According to the GPS, expected pace of play is around 4:20 which is reasonable for a weekend round. Our group was right on it even though we waited on a number of holes. One thing I appreciate about The Palm is that they have strategically placed restrooms/water stations that have ice/water dispensers unlike most courses that simply have unsanitary water fountains. Bottom line is if you don’t mind paying a premium for a round of golf, you won’t be disappointed with The Palm.
