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.

First timer on a Disney course

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😁

Good track

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.

Awesome course

Awesome course and outing. Only criticism is that we had a group of six in front of us that appeared to be playing golf for the first time, based on the lack of etiquette, etc. Eventually it got worked out once the marshal intervened, but odd that happened in the first place.
