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.

Unfortunately it had rained about an hour before the game so was cart path only and the course does not take water well - very soppy.

Sunday Round

Had a blast at the Palm course yesterday. The course is absolutely beautiful from tee box to green. I love how this course is surrounded by trees and nature and not houses. I highly recommend playing this course if you haven’t yet. The Evergreen bar on property is a nice spot to grab a beer at the bar before or after the round

Amazing Staff and Well Maintained Course

Visiting from Ontario… first time playing a Disney course and it did not disappoint! Every employee we encountered was awesome and even when we had a small mishap with one of the rental clubs, it was fixed immediately and they made sure we were having a good time. Beautiful course with tons of wildlife, made for a very memorable experience.

Great course, great staff

First time in Florida and wanted to play some golf, booked a round the same morning of a Sunday, no problem at all. Showed up to a really nice clubhouse, with helpful and friendly staff who all helped me find my way to the course.

Disney Visit

Good course. Greens were good but fairways were wet and soft all over. Worried about fat hits all day and chips were tough. Not worth the price. Even to play with Mickey.

Nice resort course

Just what you would expect from a resort course- generous fairways, large greens , nicely kept and friendly service. The only downside is when it rains, this course does not drain will and is forced to revert to cart path only. The greens were soft but very playable, the fairways soft and saturated and there was standing water in rough. That being said the course is playable while you will have to do a lot of walking. If the afternoon rains continue- expect to play cart path only.

You can drain a swamp...or maybe not...

It's Florida in the summer time and playing in the afternoon is a risky proposition on a number of levels. The good news is, only four holes that were not Par 3s were cart path only. The bad news is, balls would still plug in the fairway on holes that you could drive the cart on.

I got a great deal on a short notice single player spot, and we got all 18 in, in spite of some rumbles of thunder. But with the course as soft as it was, the ball stopped where it landed...which made for a long course even playing from the 5800 yard tees.

Palm is to me the more original Florida golf course since only a few of the holes play in view of other parts of Disney. It's a fun course with generous fairways and open tee shots. All of the greens are raised, because that was the only way they would drain. The greens are huge.

I hadn't played this course in several years, so it was fun to see it again. I will now have to come back in November before the sock it to the snowbirds rates kick in to enjoy playing it.
