Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6870 yards
Slope 131
Rating 73.7

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.

Slow pace of play

Spent 3 & a half hours to get through 10 holes… They allowed multiple groups to let 5 people play through causing a hour back up. 15 minutes on each tee box just to tee off.

Wet weather
Used cart

Car path only

Orlando has received quite a bit of rain, and the fairways don't drain very well. Sloppy conditions. Greens were good considering.

Resort style course, wide fairways, very pleasant day. Will return.

The golf course is very nice but it was in very poor condition due to a lot of rain, the countryside could hardly walk due to the mud, besides because of these conditions you could not circulate with the carts in the countryside, in the end very unpleasant experience in those conditions.

Plays great in the wet weather.

Been very wet in central Florida last few weeks. The course held up well. Greens have great drainage and are taken care of. Tee boxes were set up on the high side and were sure footed. Most of the fairways drainage was good. Cart path only was a good call to keep your course . In the best shape. All around was a great day with the rain.

Was ok but very wet

First time playing a Disney Palm Course course.. Upon arrival staff were fantastic. The putting green and driving range were excellent.. I arrived on the tee to be told a lot of the holes were caught path only which was fine but I didn’t realise how wet the golf course actually was. It was absolutely soaked! I know Florida gets a lot of rain in the summer, but there was puddles all over the fairways. The course itself is a very good test with lots of water as you expect, but they do need some irrigation system in place as it was way too wet for end of July. My shoes were covered in mud by the end of the round. If the course was dry, I would recommend it highly.

Great course, shame about the weather

Great course layout , fantastic friendly staff.

The only thing that made the experience slightly disappointing was that there has been monsoon like conditions which is usual at this time of year and there were several waterlogged fairways.

I would definitely like to play this course again in better conditions.

The Palm Golf Course

We had a decent time at The Palm Golf Course and overall enjoyed our experience. The staff were exceptional—very attentive, friendly, and professional. The marshal stood out, offering helpful tips to improve our game and checking in regularly to ensure we were comfortable. Given the heat, their thoughtfulness in providing cold towels throughout our round was greatly appreciated.

The course itself was mostly in good shape, though a couple of greens were noticeably sandy, which affected the ball’s roll. There were also some flooded areas, likely due to heavy rain the night before, but these were minor drawbacks. Despite these issues, the layout and overall experience made for a great day on the course. We’d definitely return, thanks to the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere!

This course was crowded and the pace of play was slow. But the course is in nice shape, It has a great layout. We caught a hot deal on Golf Now so we got good value for the price. Will head back again.
