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 6870 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 131 and a 73.7 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.

Palm
Great value for money paid. Some of the greens in rough shape need to be rolled.
Great Test - Great Condition
Course was in fantastic condition and greens were running really nicely.
Would recommend to play and the staff had the real Disney touch as well.
Will definitely be back.
Okay
It’s not a bad course but out of the three Disney courses right now it is by far in the worst shape compared to Lake, Buena Vista and Magnolia. Magnolia is in immaculate shape with new greens and great fairways tea boxes, and rough.. only downside is there’s still two holes that are only 86 yards apiece while they finish the remodel
Great Staff, Range and amenities! Highly recommended
Overall great course
Course was in great shape. Fairways and greens were prestige.
Très beau et difficile parcours
Nous étions 8 et tous les joueurs ont apprécié ce terrain. Plutôt difficile comme parcours, mais super beau layout. Le staff était très sympathique.
great day of golf
matched with 3 great people so the slow play was no problem
Good… but not worth $150+
This course has a really good layout and will test almost every part of your bag, but most of the rest of the experience was a slight disappointment. Greens are average speed but roll very true. The course was soaking wet despite no rain for several days, the starter was very rude and there was no short game area + range off mats only. Again, a very good course but worth more in the $100-$125 range, if you can’t find a hot deal you’re paying an extra $50 for the Disney name.
Happy place
All staff veru courteous, smiling and motivated to make sure you enjoy your day
Excellent golf course!!
The greens and the fairways was in very good conditions, All the personal was very accessible. Congratulations!!
Great people
The allowed us to tee off 50 minutes earlier. We loved our experience very friendly staff and course in very good conditions
Too slow
It was just over a 5 hour round. Bottle necked from the 3rd hole.
