Great Course / Friendly staff

Course was in great shape. Greens ran true and not super fast. Fairways were preteen. Staff was super friendly. Pace of play was a little slow for the first six holes. Ranger did his job and the pace picked up.

This course was my first time playing it. Would play it again. The cost could have been a little less money. I get it. It's disney and it sells itself. The hot dog I brought on the course was horrible. This hot dog had no flavor or taste even with condiments. No taste at all. Other than that keep it in the fairway.

Great!

Beautiful course. the rough was very soft grass, really amazing stuff, but it ate balls. the rough was just high enough that the top of the grass was higher than the top of a ball, and since the rough was soft, the balls sunk in. I would absolutely play here again, even though i lost more balls than ever before. take into consideration that i am not a good golfer and was in the rough quite a bit.
