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 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.

Fun day
Excellent value with GolfNow. Course was nice and challenging. Sand traps were perfect shape. Nice tees and Greenway.
The Palm very slow play
Waited from the 3rd hole on….called golf ranger and the pace of play still was slow….group two starts in front of us played extremely slow…we waited with the group in front of us on a number of T boxes.
Beautiful excellently maintained course with very nice staff
We had a great time with 2 young men that had the same tee time.
The course was very well maintained with excellent greens and also fairways and T Boxes. Everyone was very nice and supportive, as we‘ve played here the first time. We would come back next time we are in Orlando.
5hr round
‘Golfers’ unaware of rules of etiquette! Group in front of us playing ‘?texas scramble’!!! What the heck and NO course ranger!🤦♀️ therefore 5hr round 🤯
Conditions are great
Greens ran smooth, everything was in great condition. Quality time
The Palm is awesome!
Highly recommend this course, great staff and challenging but fun course layout!
Magic Environment to an affordable price
Everything was awesome. Maybe the pace of play was not that good (4:45h). Otherwise so great.
Disney knows how to operate a golf course
Great course, a lot very well designed holes, good for both low, mid and higher handicap
Might want to bring some extra golf balls, the water can eat you up
Fun, challenging, but overpriced.
Throughly enjoyed the interesting front nine. The back was fairly open and, while difficult, was open and somewhat boring. The construction on holes 2-3 was annoying and detracted from the experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was OK until #13 when it slowed to a stop and crawl. Overall, I enjoyed the round but I have played better courses in the area for half the price. Glad I finally played a Disney course but hate having to pay such a premium to the mouse!!
