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 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.

Wasn’t happy that we did only 9 holes and come to find out we couldn’t get a rain check through golf now.

Fun course

Really enjoyed this layout. Pretty challenging and you have to play smart. Pace of play was a little slow today as we were cart path only due to the severe rain the days prior. Not the courses fault, and even so still managed to finish in 4:30

Great course

The Palm is my favorite Disney course. It’s a beautiful course and is in great shape. The staff is friendly and helpful. We played the day after a heavy rain, so it was cart path only (and GPS enforced), so pace of play was slow. It would have been easier to walk with a pull cart. Overall, a good round.
