Disney's Palm Golf Course
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.

Incredible
Everything about this course is fantastic. The price makes it even better.
Great Escape
Couldn't pass up the opportunity to play given the lack of things to do. I was welcomed by the staff (while maintaining social distancing guidelines) and was given a cart that was wiped down and ready. Starter checked us in and we were on our way. Course is still in great shape. Greens were true (it was off and on rain most of the round) and fairways were in good shape given the lack of rain. Perfect getaway for crazy times. Had no one in front of or behind us.
Outstanding
Except for a hand full of tee boxes the course is fantastic a little challenging with lots of fun
Awesome Day
Staff could not have been better and course was in great shape. The greens were awesome and rolled true. Great day out social distancing!
Love Disney Palm
This course always provides an extraordinary golf time for us! Sometimes a little pricey but we often get some reasonable deals and it is worth the extra cost. Will definitely plan again!
Great layout
Really enjoyable round of golf,quite a challenge with water in play on many of the holes.the course was in very good condition,only gripe would be the pace of play but that was due to a very slow and thoughtlessly fourball in front of us
Great course and condition
Lovely course in greate shape.
Played the Blue backtee wich didnt play to long but still a challenge.
Played 70 dollars för a morning tee time and compared with other 70 dollar courses this was a great deal.
Would play here againe for sure.
Great course !!! A must play in the Orlando Kissimmee area
We were the first group out
Very friendly staff
Course is in excellent shape and is a great challenge for all levels of player
Greens were a little long so not as fast as some other area courses but balls rolled great
You won’t regret playing here
Awesome day of golf
We played in a Foursome with our neighbors and thoroughly enjoyed the impeccable course conditions. The course layout was challenging with many photo op scenes to enjoy. Greens were beautiful and fast.
Nice
Nice course. Challenging tough approach shots. Best place I've played in Florida
Well worth it.
The greens were fast. The fairways were in good condition. The golf carts had GPS which helped with blind spots and water. Great course. Will play again in March when I come back to Florida.
Love it
This is a must play. Everything about this track is excellent. There’s a reason why it’s on the PGA circuit.
Grat course when discounted
We played the course today. It was a foggy,/wet day, so did not get to appreciate the course as much as I would have if it was sunny. I am not a great player, so I found the course challenging but playable. You can't use your driver on every par four or it will end up in the water hazards or sand traps. We booked our round on Golf now so we got it at a discount, otherwise is a U$100+ round per person ( if is the average for good courses in Orlando.
Enjoyed this Disney course. Will definitely play again.
Great time on this course. Lots of water, but fairways are wide if you stay in the right side! Greens faster than I am used to, and pin positions were challenging, but they are large. Would take some getting used to which is reason to play again. Pace of play was fine with just a few waits, not very long, on the tee box and in fairways. Also, my balls fly a lot farther in Florida!
