Beautiful
This is by far the most peaceful and friendly course I have played at the staff where on point and the fairways and greens where fantastic would love to come back and play it again and try the other courses
Fun Course
Pace of play was slow for the front nine then group in front left. Mentioned to ranger pace was very slow, but did not change anything. Nice layout and good value for price. Checkin staff were friendly and very helpful. Golf shop staff very cordial and helpful.
Very wet
Although the course was very wet after an overnight storm the course was in good condition and we were allowed to take our buggies on to the fairways.The layout is interesting and the greens were a good pace. The speed of play was excellent with our 4 ball completing our round in just over 4 hours. I always look forward to playing the Disney courses.
A beautiful course.
Beautiful course, excellent condition. Will recommend this course to anyone.
Much better for the money if you live in Orlando
Figured I’d take the plunge and play a Disney course. Golf now does not show the resident discounts available and if you book through golf now, even though you don’t pay until you get to the course - it’s still at the way higher rate. As far as the course goes, although it wasn’t raining while I was playing, it had monsooned the night before, yet carts were all over the place damaging the fairways, huge ball marks were left unrepaired on greens. Far to wet and soggy to have an enjoyable round. The course should have been closed. Oh yeah, after arriving, I was told at the pro shop that 15 has a temp green - so they offered a $10 discount. Ok I guess. Well overpriced on GolfNow for what it is in the orlando area. Much nicer tracks to hit than this swamp in the orlando area…
Nice but very slow
The course was great, employees great but pace of play was very bad and frustrating. They need to push slow players better. Literally people waiting for greens to clear before teeing off and they were hackers. The rangers need to watch people like this and move them along better/educate them on etiquette because they are clearly tourists that never play golf, slowing up the whole course.
Florida golf…hot,humid…good day to play
Played in 4:30 hrs.. tee boxes , fairways and greens all good. Fairways are soft so course played a little long but they are all wide open. As always staff very friendly and accommodating.
Disney First
Have been waiting a lifetime to play a Disney Course. This one was challenging and fair. Great condition. Will definitely be back.
Great course
This is a beautiful course with a beautiful layout. Everything is in great shape and appealing to the eye. If I was to recommend something, would be the greens. They could be better. Specially for the price you pay.
Due to resent airing of the course we were given a generous 40% off, staff were extremely friendly helpful and welcoming, a great course with amazing views, unfortunately we played the morning after a heavy downpour which made the course difficult to play in areas but this didn’t get in the way of a great experience
Good but
Cart quit on hole 10. Called number to report it and started walking. After walking 3 holes the starter just happened to be riding the course and saw me. He got us another cart. If not for him guess I woulda walked back 9. Other than that all was well.
Course conditions are unacceptable for the price charged. I have experienced this on all the Disney courses over the last few years.Way overpriced!!
Playing Lake Buena Vista you almost have no air flow as the course winds through swamps and woods. Now I know why the PGA tour will never come back to Disney

Thank you for your feedback on your recent round at Walt Disney World® Golf. We apologize for the fact that you were displeased with the facilities and service that you experienced. We hope that you will reconsider playing our wonderful courses again in time to come, so we can exceed your expectations upon your next visit to Orlando.
If you would like to discuss further what you and your group encountered during your visit with our management staff, please feel free to reach out to our leadership by emailing the specifics of your tee time to disneygolfreservations@palmergolf.com so that we can help resolve your residual concerns. We would like to know in more specifics what aspects of the golf course experience that you didn't think were up to par. We are well aware of the condition of #15 green, and will actually be replacing the turf on that green next week, beginning on June 6th.
For a multitude of reasons, we have chosen not to invite the PGA Tour back here to play at Walt Disney World Golf for the foreseeable future, it is not that they have chosen to avoid these facilities.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
