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.

Worth Playing!!

Played again right after a storm went through, seems like everyday in Florida. Course drained well, better than many courses where I play after rain. Course is in great shape. Greens rolled well. Layout was nice, could use some course knowledge if never played before but not horribly penalizing. Would play again.

No Notice of Course conditions

A buddy called me to play golf on a whim this day and found a decent rate for this course for a 5:20pm Tee time after work. Arriving to the course we paid for our round and went out to the starter. When we get to the starter he says just to let you know it is Cart Path only as we were not notified when arriving and paying for our round. Once we Tee off every single hole we played fair ways were saturated with water and muddy. My golf cleats were muddy the entire round, balls landing in puddles on the fairway. If we were made aware of the conditions of the course before hand we could of found somewhere else to play. It rained earlier in the morning but there is no reason this course should not have adequate drainage in place. I have played this course plenty of times and this is the first bad experience I had. You would expect more from Disney and for them to make it right but when talking to the Pro shop attendant he said their was nothing he could do and his hands were ties because we booked our Tee time through Golf Now. Like I said I would expect more from Disney.

First hole in one

Made my first hole in one here so what can I say?! Can’t give any less than a 5 star rating. But to be completely honest, this place is solid. Every hole poses a new challenge.

Decent

It was a fun track and the staff are very kind and attentive as this was my first time there. Course conditions were mediocre but (as others have mentioned) Florida has not had enough rainfall the past few months. I would like to play it again once the conditions are slightly better. I was paired with a Disney employee, who mentioned that she pays $18 to play the course; so, do with that information as you will. I’ll be back!

Great course for the money!!

I usually never leave reviews for courses but I felt this one needed it. The staff is very friendly and the course was in GREAT shape. The greens had been punched earlier this month, but you couldn’t even tell. They were rolling true and fast. I am a Florida native and this was my first time playing the course and I was wowed. Pay 50$ and couldn’t beat it!

Ok But Slow Round

We hadn't played this course in a number of years so decided to try it again. Overall conditions were fine...greens rolled ok, fairways plush and reasonable sand in the bunkers. The pro-shop and on-course folks were very attentive and nice. We were a twosome behind another twosome that was waiting on every shot so our round was a 5-hour round. The course is challenging because it plays long and the greens are undulating which probably accounts for some of the pace issues. I will tell you (warn you) that in the summer, this course is hot...the trees prohibit the wind from reaching you on many holes so it's a very hot, sweaty round. For that reason, we would not play again in warm weather. It's not a scenic course as almost all the holes are tree-lined. LBV is much more scenic (and fun).

Disney Palm

Course was a real treat, and the value was high. Pace of play did not seem ridiculously slow, but ended up being almost 4.5 hours. I think that's pretty usual on a resort course in Florida. Really fun and I recommend it.
