Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

Enjoyable course with nice layout and views but I was expecting better course conditions. Greens were rough.

This course is in a great location and has a great layout. All the holes offer a good challenge to every level of golfer.

The condition of the Green and most of the fairways are an absolute disgrace. The course needs to be closed for a few months and the greens repaired correctly. Those greens today were without doubt the worst I’ve ever played on.

Do not play here! 5+ hour round. They punched fairways greens and tee boxes. Fairways more like rough to be honest. I was catching flier lies. Greens were horrific- fungus and punched greens everywhere.

I had played this course many times before and it always is in immaculate conditions. Unfortunately it was not the case this time around. To our surprise the course was entirely aerated every were, T Boxes, fairways, and greens. They had just done aeration the day before and it was very disappointing that it was not stated on Golf Now and when we did our check in at the pro shop. I was really looking forward to playing this great course and since there was no course conditions notification on Golf Now I was expecting the usual conditions. Very disappointing to say the least.

Both the tee boxes and greens were in very bad shape. The greens were patchy and had some bare spots. Craters in the greens and not from ball marks. Fairways and rough were kept well. Tee boxes were uneven in spots and needing more rotation on placement.

The greens had two different grasses growing on them so they were not very pretty to look at but they rolled ok. Pace of play was pretty slow but I guess that’s to be expected when on vacation.

Save your money and do not play this place. Greens are in terrible shape. Heavy sand, with patches of overgrown grass. Looks like some fertilizer burn, etc. This place is not worth anything over $45 a person. Save your money and play somewhere else.

The overall layout of the course is very nice. Fairways were in good condition but the greens are in a very bad condition at the moment. Putting is pure luck. Holes and damaged parts all over the place.

For a Disney Resort higher end golf course I was very disappointed. The greens were not good at all and it was because they were just aerated. I am an avid golfer and normally very easy going and normally give the golf course the benefit of the doubt but this was not good. The boxes were not good as well.

This is my second time in a couple of months playing and nothing has been done to the course. The greens and rough are in terrible condition. For the price I can golf other places.

The course is in nice condition a little bit too expensive for my taste.

I would hope they don’t keep it in the state it was in yesterday but the course should have been closed. The greens and tee boxes were terrible. It was cart path only but somehow the fairways were completely chewed up from the rain. Most holes you were better off in the rough than the fairway due to the conditions. Was a complete waste and wish they would have told us conditions before we went out there.

I recently organized a golf weekend at Lake Buena Vista for a friend’s birthday — it was our group’s first time playing a Disney course, and unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming and frustrating.

While the fairways were in fair condition, the greens were in noticeably poor shape — patchy, uneven, and simply not maintained to the level expected from a Disney property. For a resort known for its high standards, the state of the greens was disappointing and frankly embarrassing given the occasion.

The problems didn’t end there. The golf cart we were assigned broke down right as we entered the first fairway. We were then informed that the course had been having GPS issues all day — yet carts were still being sent out with the GPS systems enabled, even though staff couldn’t confirm whether the problems were resolved. This avoidable oversight caused delays in our round and forced us to rush to avoid holding up the group behind us — not the relaxing golf experience we were expecting.

To top it off, the course runs alongside the waterway, and the constant, unnecessary blaring of horns from the water taxis was incredibly irritating. Even when it was clear there was no traffic coming in the opposite direction, the horns kept sounding, disrupting the flow and adding to an already frustrating day.

For what should have been a special and memorable introduction to Disney Golf, LBV fell short in multiple areas. I hope these issues are addressed soon, because the potential is there — but the current experience simply doesn’t live up to the Disney name.
