Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

Very disappointed after paying US$ 258 for two of us. Course was in a bad shape, greens were poorly maintained. Played Palm and Magnolia in the past but this one is totally worthless for the money. Very disappointed with 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 are working diligently to try and rectify the conditioning concerns that we have currently with the green, and only the green on the 15th hole, and hope to have a permanent solution for it before too long. Research and soil samples have been taken periodically to better understand the issues that have been transpiring

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!

LBV is A OK

First time playing LBV. Strong layout meandering through several condo complexes. 9th and 15th green particularly were in rough shape, rest of the greens and fairways were in good shape. Usual excellent reception in the pro shop and thorough run down by Vinny the starter. Would have rated 5 stars save for the 2 greens being in poor condition.

Another great round at Disney LBV

Got a hot deal and was able to play at noon. Course was great as seen before. We were paired up with a father/son who were fun to play with. As far as course conditions, greens were in great shape, speedy and fairly flat. Only one green was in rough shape.

Ranger could have been better as he wanted us to keep up with the group ahead of us even though we started more than a hole behind. We caught them next hole and had a big back on the last hole for some reason, otherwise would have played in 4 hours.

We will go back.

Good resort course

Resort course which means not overly challenging but in good shape. Greens were firm and consistent speed. Even with the heavy play fairways hold up. While there are other courses in the area at similar price point, this is a really good course to play.

Not as nice as website indicates

Misleading website, this course condition is more like a muni course and not a resort course. Probably beciase it gets a lot of play. Fairways were dormant, hardly any grass to hit off of, bunkers were in ok shape, greens rolled fine. Biggest issue was fairways, don’t expect a nice, fluffy lie because grass is on existent.

Staff was nice: I played at 3 so paid $50. I wound be very busier if I had to pay more than that for an average course at best.

Layout is decent though and staff was really nice.
