About
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 6840 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 134 and a 73.3 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.

Un-Disney like
Surprised to see a Disney course in less than primo condition.
Fun morning at the Palm
First tee-time of the day @ 6:54 A.M. Great way to start the day and super friendly staff.
Beautiful Day of Golf
Course condition was the best of any of the 15 courses I've played in Central Florida. Tees and fairways are plush. Greens are plush too, but a little slow for our liking. Marshal kept play moving, we finished in 4.5 hours. Course was challenging in that many holes were narrow, plenty of sand and plenty of water. Can't wait to play again!
The Palms
Great layout lots of traps that can come into play. Well manicured
Second group out. Bypassed first group on the turn. Finished in 3:45.
The turn is about 1/3 mile from the clubhouse
Not any amenities on the course. Great time
Great day
Enjoyed the round and all of the informal signs on most holes regarding PGA events.
Beautiful course..!!
Have had the pleasure of playing this course a few time...my favorite Disney one here, Pace of play is usually slower, but course staff did there best to get everyone through. Would recommend to play if in the area.
Good Course - Exceptional Staff Friendliness
Very nice course with exceptionally friendly staff
What Disney Does
Fairways fine. Tees great. Greens a bit bumpy, but otherwise predictable. There’s water, but always subject to risk-reward decisions. Landing areas for drives are generous. Here’s the Disney touch: My wife left her visor in the pro shop while trying on clothing pre-round. On hole 2 she called to ask it be found, if possible, and held. On 4th hole we got a text on the GPS screen saying it had been found and asking if she’d like it to be delivered to her.
Pace of play was fine. A player assistant told us on 12 that he had asked folks ahead of us to pick up the pace. We had played the front in 2 and 15.
The pictured critter is a moocher at the 18th tee. He appears to be live rather than animatronic.
Unfortunately can’t Play today
I had problems with my car today and I coudn’t Play at Disney Palms Golf
I now Magnolia & Palms , both are very beatifull
I live in Argentina and I habe a House in Encore at the Reunión . Every times I coming I Play in Disney’s Golf
I Would like to know of I can recuperate the fee to use in another reservation
Regards,

Great Palm Course
The course was in excellent share. Fairways well manicured and the greens were terrific.
Conditions
Fairways lies very tight and the greens a little bumpy because of issues they were addressing....over all good.
It was tough for an old 81-year-old. Like the signs about the pros. Great experience with Disney
