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.

Course was in great shape

Course was in great shape and fun to play. It was one of the nicest courses I've played in the Orlando area as far a conditions. It's Disney so you know the staff is always going to be nice. I got a good deal on Golf Now for 89.00 at noon and other times cost 140+ I'm not sure I would of liked it as much for 140 but at 89.00 I would play it again. There was a group three or four groups ahead of us that slowed down the course that took away from the experience

very enjoyable experience

Played as a foursome with a friend and our wives. Found the course to be most enjoyable. My friend and I are single digit handicaps and we played it from 6600 and found it to be just the right level of challeng, Yet from the ladies tees our wives had a relatively fun time too. Planning to play the other Disney courses and hope they are as much fun.

Poor On Course facilities

The course was in good condition but I expected much better from a Walt Disney Resort course. The greens were fast and in great condition. The Palm course where I played did not have the basic facilities like water coolers. I played on a hot day and no one at the Pro Shop bothered to let me know that they only have water fountains on the golf course (no water coolers or ice ) and if I need water I better equip myself ahead of time. The price to play does not include range balls which was very surprising especially when you are paying more than $100.00 to play on a resort course. I am from Florida and I have played on many courses. The on course facilities for a course on a PGA Tour rotation is pretty appalling. I wish they cared more about the playing public and not just the revenue they generate. Any regular golf club in Florida provides more on-course facilities than the Palm. If you are interested in playing there on a hot day, just be prepared to pay even for water.

Great experience with history

Golf was great, holes can get pretty tricky from the back tee, overall very good golf course, would love to play again for a little bit better price. Somewhere everyone should play just to go around and read the signs on every tee box! Alot of history there!

One of the Great Places to Play in Orlando

Was my second time to play the Palm still one of the great places to play. Conditions very nice as always, greens very true, fairways very plush.
Little disappointed w/ on course organization, no starter @ first tee. Twosome in group ahead of ours held up the next three groups behind us, spent alot of time waiting. Otherwise golf course is fantastic!

A really beautiful course.

Everywhere you look, there are great views. Everything well maintained and the holes are challenging but fun. Overall a terrific experience and, considering the twilight rate we got, a good value too.
