Fun course. Easy to score. Slow pace of play.
Very fun course. Great condition. Free range balls to warm up is a plus. Nice cart. We had some first time golfers in front of us that slowed it down. Heard that happens a lot. Also check the weather if playing in the afternoon in Florida.
Good course shame about the conditions of the greens
Played this course a lot they was seeding the greens but very patchy greens but still fast needs some work to catch up but no doubt will be ready in a month or two.
Greens Are Not The Best in Summer
We had a great time playing here during our recent trip to Orlando! The course layout is excellent, with well-placed tees that make for an enjoyable and challenging round. The staff is incredibly friendly, always welcoming and helpful, which really enhances the experience.
However, the condition of the greens left something to be desired, especially in the summertime. Some greens were dry, bumpy, and had patches of brown, dying grass, which affected playability. The overall upkeep of the facility felt a bit so-so, but it didn’t overshadow the fun we had.
Despite the greens, we love coming back here every time we visit Orlando. With a little TLC, this course could easily be a top-tier destination. Highly recommend for the layout and great staff!
Nice track
Greens were a little spotty but aeration next week should help
Beautiful course in great shape!
Went as a single, played with 3 others and had a great day. Course is in great shape with impeccable fairways , medium speed greens. Staff super friendly. Good value. Will definitely be back next time in Orlando.
Dont pay to play here
Course is in terrible conditions, I wouldnt pay $50 dollars to play here. I dont know what happened cause this course used to be perfect and now is terrible, they are charging this amount? They are not being honest with people that are paying this to play.
DO NOT PAY TO PLAY HERE
Another great Disney golf round
This was our second time playing this course and once again, we had a blast. Lucked out and barely beat the afternoon thunderstorms, so I highly suggest a morning tee time during summer. Played on a Sunday, and surprisingly the pace of play was excellent, and the hot deal price was very fair. Service was great both in clubhouse and on course. Word of caution: slicers hit into the driving range from the first tee box once in a while lol. Also, you need to get range balls from the guys who handle the carts next to the pro shop. I highly recommend playing any of the Disney courses.
Outside Staff needs to reflect a bit
Check in was fine however, the included bucket wasn't quite enough (put small bucket in cart) . Went in, paid for a medium and came out with a receipt. Handed it to a guy with brown hair (late 40s, early 50s), he asked if I got included bucket, Yes. I said wanted more so I paid for another medium bucket. He then asked if I was going to hit them all because he didn't like people leaving balls out on the range. I wanted to throw them at him and leave. Guy at first tee, asked if I was a single, Yes. I have to combine you in a cart. I said ok, went to grab my stuff. Instead of swapping the coolers, he grabbed my 3 waters, from under the ice, walked them over to other cooler and then grabbed a couple handfuls of ice and walked it over. I asked, wouldn't have been easier to just switch the coolers? Geez. I went on to play a good round and bought a hat.
Great Round
Although some courses in the central and Tampa area have been dryer due to lack of rain, Disney and APGM have kept their courses in great conditions that you can enjoy.
Disneys 3rd best course
Nice layout but not as good as conditions as the other 2 Disney courses.
Still worth playing but should be cheaper than Palm and magnolia.
Layout awesome but..
Awesome layout but the overall quality of the course was just OK. Tee boxes were bad, greens pretty good, fairway not great. Driving range, horrible
Course was in great shape even with the lack of rain in the area, greens were a little inconsistent but rolled good. It was a great start to the trio of Disney courses
Not the greatest place on turf
Very disappounting, expected so much more.
The welcome was excellent , but the quality of the greens was a real letdown
Patches of the green were coloured green to try and cover bald patches. The greens were slow and not true
Very poor condition for Disney
Was excited to play LBV again, bud sadly it was seriously disappointing.
Firstly - our tee time was to tee off in the dark… stupid.
Greens were in awful awful condition so pubs were placed a yard or 2 from corners of greens - seriously we are amateurs … I realize it’s to help the greens recover but it was setup so badly.
Course was saturated with overwatering - again, it was early but every shot was played in standing water - yes we did move balls but just to a less wet patch.
All round not worth $75 let alone $150.
Hawks Landing - same price, was in great condition.
Not used to this poor quality from a Disney course.
Mouse House turf
Pace of play was great, staff was wonderful smiles on everyone and so helpful. Greens was questionable was over-seeded for winter rye dying off and tiff 9 growing in was hard to read it was like camouflage. Was laid out nice and weather was great (end of April).
