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.

Cartpath only, don't play

A beautiful course! Heavy rain 2 days before we played, like walking on a wet sponge. My wife needed a cart. It was a tough day but she managed. The course should've been closed.

Wet

Unfortunately the Course was extremely wet due to flooding Rains the day prior. Look forward to playing the course again in dry conditions. Golf shop was on point with a wide selection.

If you plan on playing and it’s been raining, try the Lake Buena Vista course it drains much better after heavy rains.

Better service

Not sure where to start! Course received 3.5 inches of rain the night before so it was cart part only, but we weren’t informed. No big deal, I’ve played in those conditions before. Since I work at a premier golf resort, I understand tee sheets. We were paired with a single at the last minute, which I understand. What I don’t understand is why they would send out a single right behind us and have him on our tails the entire front 9. The single was in the green side bunker while we were on the green putting! What should have happened is either pair us as a fourball or pair the two singles together! This day was definitely not the happiest place on turf. I almost quit after 9 but luckily the single, who was reluctant to play through, even though he might as well have been playing with us, decided to play through. The round got better until we caught the two ball in front of us. Pace of play was 4:45 which is ok as long as everyone is keeping up or not hounding the group in front. I won’t be back for awhile even though I usually enjoy Disney courses. Or, I’ll make sure to bring a foursome to avoid the paring issues.

Wet but nice

I played the day after two inches of rain so the course was soggy, traps wet and hard, greens slow. Cart path only for the entire course so got my exercise. Layout is fine - but nothing special. Lots of elevated greens so need to be confident with wedges. Carts are great - comfy electric with GPS.

Not breath taking

Very underwhelmed with my experience

First I’d like to say that the course is pretty decent

NOT BAD AT ALL ! Just very bland and avg

Except decent for $110 just isn’t worth it

Conditions where avg

Lay out avg except for it’s seems to be built very close to roads and frwys

Pace or play was excellent

Starters are definitely doing their jobs they were friendly enough but also made you feel uncomfortable enough to pick up pace

Pace is monitored on gps and we spend the entire day about 3 mins behind

We were a foursome and they made sure to nicely remind us pretty often

We would catch up then lose pace throughout the day

Lay out is much nicer then magnolia course but still nothing special

Other then Disney logos on carts and Mickey tee box markers it was just a pretty regular course

Range is included in price but range balls were in very bad shape and the range itself is very bare no grass

Over all nothing bad to say about the course except that it is outrageously avg and outrageously priced considering how bland and avg this course is

Mediocre course in fair condition but a 5+ hour round with no marshes is unacceptable.
