The greatest place on turf

Besides the weather being hot, I know Mickey doesn't control that, the course was fun.

The starter was engaged and friendly, and got us going with a laugh.

Resort style golf, so pace of play is a little slower, expect to spend 4-5 hours here.

Pricey amenities, but it's Disney so no surprise.

Wide fairways for an easy drive.

Good Round

Disney LBV is one of my favorites. Course was in great shape minus the greens. Veery hairy and not rolling true. Also normally the staff is on top of things, but didn't offer the freee range balls or tell us they weren't on the range. Also, didn't offer to clean clubs after round, which I am always happy to tip for. Oh well could have been an off day, I love that track.

Fun layout, Great conditions

I like the difference between the front and back nine. The course had character, with unique holes and scenery. It could have drained a little better but the course was in solid condition.

Course is in rough conditions

When I saw the practice green I was really apprehensive to even try and play, but the starter told us that it was just a little fungus because of all of the rain and said the rest of the course was not as bad. I respectfully disagree and the greens are slow and terrible. There were multiple brown spots all over which seemed to get worse on the back side. There were also multiple wash outs along the bunkers and the sides of the greens. The fairways were very soggy, but it’s well known that this course doesn’t drain as well as the other Disney Courses and they have had a lot of rain recently.

This course unfortunately does not reflect the reputation of a Disney Property at all!

Nice course

Course was in good condition considering lack of rain and heat fairways were green and fluffy. Evan if you were off the fairway you still had a decent lie. Open fairways made tee off easy but every green is protected by bunkers. Your approach better be on point.

Great course…Excellent pace of play.

Had a 6:30am tee time with two other golfers. Finished in 3 1/2 hours and we played behind a foursome. Loved the layout and the scenery. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Lots of water, but layout wasn’t that difficult. Pace of play might be longer for a later tee time, but I would definitely play the course again even if it took 4 1/2 to 5 hours to complete. Just like how the kids are amazed when walking into a Disney park, I had that feeling when walking onto the course.
