About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6840 yards
Slope 134
Rating 73.3

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.

Surreal Disney

Anytime you play a Disney course you arrive anticipating three things:

1. Crowded conditions - it was

2. Really great course conditions - yup it was

3. Friendly staff - yes, as always.

In addition there is the true Disney atmosphere. Monorails running, train whistles, screams of joy on thrill rides and lots of people enjoying a Central Florida vacation.

The parking lots were empty. The monorails parked. The trains silent. The rides closed.

For the first time ever I enjoyed Disney's Palm in quiet. The peace that simply isn't ever possible at Disney because of the enormous popularity and crowds.

They had just aerated and things were a little rough. But it was still a Disney experience. Surreal. But Disney.

I have played every Disney course several times. The Palm is just an amazing track and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic course all the way around

You can’t beat the quality for the price. Fantastic fairways, thick roughs, greens were slow but pure. If you have the chance to play here you absolutely should.

Great course for the money

Fun, challenging, but fair. Love the layout but made sure move up a tee box. It’s plays longer than it reads. Very friendly staff as one would expect from Disney. Can’t wait to go back.

Nice, straight forward layout.

The course conditions were good. Greens looked good and rolled true but were on the slow side. Nice layout that goes through the Forest. Only negative to that was the lack of air movement as it was stagnant and hot, but that’s not a knock on the course. Had a great time playing the course!

Nothing more to add the course was in great shape. No rough spots. The hole positions on the green was quite challenging and liked it a lot.

Loved it!

Very good experience at the Palm Course. I have played all Disney courses as well as Tranquillo numerous times. The Palm Course has the best character. Greens were good but not great. Fairways were good but not great. This was the second time in a week that I played Palm. I went back because of the first round there....spectacular! I was not disappointed with the second round either. To everyone that reads the reviews to decide where to play, go play any of the Disney Course! They are all a great value and wonderful tracks.

Best Bang for the Buck... It's Disney Magic

Played Palms Tuesday the 12th. Fantastic golf experience. Course was in excellent condition. Fairways were running fast and smooth. They were so smooth, they were better than other Orlando courses greens. Rough was maybe 2 to 3 inches. Greens were in impeccable shape, running true, smooth, with about a 9 or 10 on a stimpmeter. The staff, as always, were very friendly and accommodating. At this time of year with very little rain and the COVID-19 thing going on, I can't say enough about how great this course is. Playing Palms again Friday, I enjoyed it that much. Don't hesitate, as I said in the title, Disney Magic!!!

Disney fell off

A couple years back I would have had no problem paying to play a Disney course. Sad it needs a little tlc to be back on top. Couple holes had some dead spots they are trying to repair. The starter wasn’t the nicest we asked if our group could play alone and not have a single player join but they said That’s not how it works here at Disney as soon as he let a lpga pro skip us and tee off and play as a single player. They just want your money if your not famous they don’t care.

Great afternoon on this course

While not the most scenic golf course recently played, the Palm course was a lovely place to spend the afternoon golfing. It was challenging but not too difficult. Greens were in great condition and played well.
