If you want to play Disney, don’t play this one

The course was in bad shape. Lots of bare spots on the fairways and tee boxes. To add insult to injury, the staff treated us like we were widgets on an assembly line (except the starter). I travel to Orlando multiple times a year to play golf, and generally play Disney’s Palm course (which is usually in fantastic shape). If you’re looking to play golf at a really nice course, don’t spend the $175 cost of admission to play this one. Try Shingle Creek instead…a far better course for less money. If you want to (or must) play Disney, play the Palm instead.

Its Disney

Course is over priced in my opinion. Your paying more for the Disney name and not the course condition. Play was also slow we waited on the group in front of us for over half the holes.

This course is in great shape

The course was in great shape and had beautiful weather. My only problem is Disney as a whole. Been coming down to Disney and the area for going on 25 yrs.

Unfortunately Disney had priced out a lot of people for the greed of their executives. Luckily I’m able to afford this. But there are some less fortunate that would love to not just play golf here, but also make some fantastic family memories.

I will always remember my kids faces the first time coming here in ‘98. Still brings joy to my heart thinking of their first of many times.

Thank You

Ron Radtke

Great course if right price

Greens ran fine although the grass didn't look great because of some incroachment of what looked like rye grass. Slightly on the slow side, but pretty good overall.

Great layout with interesting holes, pleasant rangers. All together a good day. Prices are quite high.

Lowered rating a bit because of the look of the greens, not the playability.
