Disney's Palm Golf Course

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).

Course was very nice, greens somewhat hard, but for February excellent course. When I golf I tend to like to be in a small group, they grouped us with another double. Only part I didn't care for. Other than that staff was very polite and prompt. Would definitely golf here again. Also enjoyed the pace of play was not hurried, steady but not hurried.

I recently played at the Palm Course while on vacation and was extremely disappointed with the service and condition of the course. I paid $125.00 for the round and felt like I was playing on a $30.00 venue. The problems start with the
limited parking where I was forced to park on the grass. Next, you do not receive range balls which is
uncommon for a resort course. The course itself was in poor condition, , fairways had ruts and the greens were average. When I checked in with the starter I was moved back three groups because they could not manage the tee sheet. Lastly, the pace of play is very slow and I left after 4 hours and was only on the 13th hole. There are many other options for the money - hope this helps.

Wide open course. fairway gress cut short making very tight lies. Generous greens.

Very wet course, greenshard and dry, did not hold a ball. A little disappointing for a Disney course.

Golf course was in excellent condition, beautiful palm trees everywhere, lots of water,didn't mind loosing dozen of balls at all, just excellent experience.
Will do it again.

Excellent course for as many people that continually play daily. Greens were excellent. A few wet spots but still great condition.

Fairway grass was super thin very muddy even though we have not had much rain. The high point was the greens very nice and fast. Yes it was a cold day and had a brief shower but that was not why the fairways were in poor shape. Will not pay those rates again to play here.

The Palm will give you a challenge, but is not too difficult for beginners to enjoy the day. The course was in good shape, and while crowded, pace of play was acceptable.

Overall course was good, no big complaints.
- No cart girl except at the turn, nothing on the back 9 either
- had to go back to the clubhouse to get balls, thought they were included. They didn't ask if I needed balls though, but were sure to ask if I needed rental clubs.
- course in good shape

Doesn't help that theres a huge speedway and busy road next door. Course was in pretty good shape though, greens were pretty slow but rolling true. I had played the Magnolia course in the past and found it to be a better course overall, and more challenging. Good deal if you got it on a hot deal, but would never pay the normal course rate for it.

Very nice course overall. Greens didn't impress me as they were very grainy and slow. Lots of tight lies near greens.

everything was good except I was paired with father and son who were very slow and not much etiquette.
after the round there were no place decent to sit down and have a drink or eat .

I played it about 8 years ago. I did not like it this time

This is a good course that I can happily recommend. The design is varied and interesting, particularly the middle holes 6-12. It is fair value for Florida residents (just under $60 on a Sunday in December, when I played). We were the 3rd group off in the morning (7:16am), so played in under 4 hours.

Course conditions were good, with fairways reasonable after being recently punched and getting rain for a few days before (we had to play lift, clean and place due to the mud).

The greens -- which can't be more than a year or so old -- were in good shape. They were surprisingly firm given course conditions, although a bit slow. The did, however, roll very true. I'd say the greens were great, in fact.

The main drawback of the course is the noise. The first 5 holes play near the Magic Kingdom and along the road, so you hear Mickey and pals, the Disney train, and the traffic. I love all that as much as the next guy; just not on the course, where I prefer a bit of respite. On the back nine, the noise is from the race track, which is quite a bit louder than the parks.

Great Course. Can challenge any player. A little slow play. Played the front 9 twice to finish before dark.
