Disney's Palm Golf Course

I have played this course intermittently since it opened when coming to Orlando on vacation. Now that I am retired and a snowbird it is a regular option, which I occasionally utilize. I was reminded again two days ago how classy the WDW organization is, including how they maintain and run their golf courses. It is phenomenal to play both the Palms and the Magnolia and we will be back again.

Course was well conditioned. Greens were reasonably quick but true. Par 5 green complexes were difficult to play in two. Bunkers were firm with little sand in base. Tree lining and water features were visually attractive. No 19th hole a little disappointing.

Course was in great shape we just had a bad weather day and only finished 4 holes, definitely looking forward to playing again.

It's always a pleasure to play a Disney course because you know its going to be in good shape. Having said that the Palm course was in good shape as always and pace of playing was about 4 1/2 hours which is good to above average for Disney golf.

Solid day from start to finish. Set up is a little weird as you pay for your round about 100 yards away from the bag drop and then get a ride back to your clubs, but once you get going everything is very well done. Range & putting green are next to the first tee. We all got to practice what we wanted in our own time. Course is in very good shape and greens are running with good speed. Used to play here a lot and forgot how good it is.

From the first tee to the last the greens were in perfect condition. Fast & true with the first and second cuts the way they should be. Good shots were rewarded and stray shots would give you a big score. Wildlife was abundant and the staff was great. Do yourself a favor and enjoy Disney palms golf course. Just have extra balls ready if you play aggressive.

Missed my alarm. But I they got us out 30 minutes later. Thanks for helping me scramble. Disney is always PGA quality!!!!!

The course is well maintained. Everything looked beautiful!

We have played the Palms on many occasions and it is always in good condition. Todays round was under 4 1/2 hours so this was a great time as well.
Will be back in a couple of weeks.

Due the rain from the prvious night there were four holes that you could not ride the cart on the fairways, while it was not an issue for me, for some people it could have been an issue.

Course layout was beautiful. Lots of water need to be accurate off the tee. Extremly friendly staff. Only down side is pace of play. We were stuck behind a group of three taking their time. Played front nine in 2 hours 30 min. Not used to waiting on each and every shot.

Played in the afternoon with "repeat rate" as we played Magnolia in the morning.

This course I found more difficult, but really enjoyable and more scenic.

Course conditions need more attention (both Palm and Magnolia) especially for the price you pay based on comparisons to other golf courses I have played.

Can't wait to come back and play. "Where dreams come true"

This course is not maintained as well anymore as it used to be. Specially fairways and arround the greens are in a bad shape. Greens are ok. I know this course since a long time - it's far away what it used to be.

Other than convience has little to offer. Fairways horrible, greens ok but slow

I booked a tee time directly w/ course 30 days in advance. When I did, I mentioned that my wife would be a rider and to put it in the notes so they would not be caught off guard and prepared for her and myself upon check-in.The confirmation of this from the pro shop person was satisfactory and comforting, (false comforting as it turned out). The fee for a rider is very reasonable and have paid much higher at other establishments.
They claim Disney is "the happiest place on earth" for guest. On this occasion this one employee "chose" not to back up their motto and accommodate my wife as a rider even after he saw and read aloud that it was in the notes. His apologies and cab fair offer for my wife were unsatisfactory. We chose Disney and flew across the country from the west coast to play here. For a local, his offer may have worked, but not for us! My wife drove back to the hotel sad and disappointed. My round was not enjoyable without her, no souvenirs were purchased and I left with a bad taste in my mouth about Disney golf. Course conditions were average and only one beverage cart parked at the turn was not impressive. TAKE YOUR KIDS TO DISNEY WORLD, BUT GOLF ELSEWHERE WHEN IN TOWN, all the same, trees and lakes.

In-season golf if always tough in Florida (we played with 2 really nice guys from the Boston area who were in Florida recovering from 7 feet of snow-shock). Took 5 hours to get around the course but the conditions and good company made the time seem less. Well managed, well maintained, great staff and great course. A must play in the Orlando area.

They paired us up with a couple, who spoke no English, which is more then fine. Do not need English to enjoy the game. BUT the female player had NEVER played golf, NEVER even been on a driving range. Seriously????? It took 45 minutes to play first two holes. AND it was so bad/slow that the group behind us never even caught us. TERRIBLE. There is no cart girl on course, only on change from 9 to 10 and yes we played on a weekend and it was packed so not having a cart girl seams like lot revenue. BUT hey Disney stock Is doing fine. There are TONS of great courses in Orlando area, this is not one of them. I am 7 handicap and live locally, do yourself favor, stay away from Disney courses!!!!!!

Great course, well maintained, very friendly staff.

The Palm has a wonderful layout but the conditions are not up to acceptable levels.staff seem to b preoccupied and not focused on the customer.having played disneys courses before we were very disappointed n present conditions.have recently played multiple courses n the Orlando area this course needs to improve its standards

I have played all the Disney courses and was surprised to see the lack of money going in to the Palm. They did not overseed this year and consequently the lush courses you are used to playing at Disney are bare. The fairways were average at best and the second cut were the worst I have ever seen them. The lies are so tight you should plan to skull a wedge on every shot close or just succumb to playing the bump and run because there's no rough! All the greens were basically like rolling on a hard pan of bare dirt. Had I not purchased a hot deal for a big discount and been an out of towner on vacation paying the big Disney prices I would have been livid!!! Disney should take note and step up the effort to return their courses to the level of a couple years ago. I would NOT recommend playing the Palm and LBV was only marginally better (and that may be a stretch).
