Greens and fairways were spotty in numerous places. Layout is good - wide fairways - but nothing dramatic. Typical resort course. Slow greens. Played Magnolia today and that is much better - layout and condition wise. Greens in great shape and fast.

Course was in great shape even during a down pour.

Course was great, Golf pass was not, golf now hipped me out of $500 and will not be booking through them in the future.

Played LBV on Sunday 2/15 fresh off the plane waiting to check into our room. The location of the course and the layout are really cool, as you weave through Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and Port Orleans Resorts. The feeling of seeing Disney buses, seeing Disney Springs, and hearing the Disney "buzz" around you when you golf is a one-of-a-kind experience. There were also cute Disney signs around hazards and at the beginning of holes. The tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers were in excellent condition. However, the rough and the greens had seen better days. Before playing, I had read that this course was having issues with disease over the last several months and had undergone rigorous overseeding to rectify the issue. I also think that the recent cold snap before our visit killed some of the vegetation around the course, and probably harmed the healing process of the greens. Knowing Disney and how awesome the staff were, I am sure that LBV will be in pristine condition soon. I would definitely play this place again for the experience.

Love the course

It’s a great course, I really enjoyed the round. Too bad the 5 day freeze killed the grass around the fairway.

Great frost delay rebound!

Thoughtful advance notice of frost delay. Very accommodating getting us out adap. Best golf cart EVER, turn signals, horn, parking break and consideration meandering off path without the abrupt back up nonsense. Awesome handholdong by staff and attntion to detail. Old school style service and present, yet tollerant and polite marshall. Can't wait to return. Also, appropriate pairing of twosomes to our skill levels - had a wonferful time. Tight first hole slows play.
