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.

Not worth the money $144 resort course prices!

Got to course it was cart path only they charge full price which is not right. Pace of play was slow because of cart path only and we were a 2sum with a 4 sum in front of us then a 5 sum in front of them. Starter told me alot of people cancelled because of rain night before. Sand bunkers were flooded greens had cosmetic problems and disease. Wildlife on course is nice to see. Design is nothing special. I shot a 79 and I took some pictures of the problems. Happyest place on earth???

Friendly and Fun

We had an excellent experience at Disney’s Palm Golf Course. Staff was friendly and even replaced our cart when the battery was running low. We finished four minutes behind pace, which was acceptable since the group in from of us had kids playing.

Great Course, but not for the faint of heart

This course was very challenging. The course was in great shape with very fast greens. If you hit the greens with a high soft shot, they stay just about where it hit, otherwise they ran off the green. Weather was perfect and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
