The course had well manicured greens and fairways. There was only one par 3 hole that did not have good runoff and there was soggy edges near the green.

Course was nice

The only issue we had was pace of play. we had 5some in front of us with a small child. there was a lot of clowning around and really no respect for pace of play. Rangers did not help much.

First timer

My wife and I played LBV yesterday via a GN purchase and obtained an amazing 4pm tee slot. Course was fun to play with generous fairways, great shape greens but not blazing fast and good sand. I’m a 10 cap played Whites shot 82. Wife plays 5x a year and enjoyed the course and it’s red tee friendly for all. Also the back shop cart staff employee returning my magnet mounted range finder after our round. Will play Disney tracks again when back in Florida.

Love the Course

I very much enjoyed the round! The only suggestion I have is that the flags on the greens are dark blue. If you change to a lighter color, they would be more easily seen. A yellow or while would be ideal.

Thank you again

Good Golf Course for the Right Price

Arnold Palmer management keeps the course is fairly good condition. The greens were unusually slow for Disney and one green was in need of overhaul. Currently, it is good to play. This summer it may be cartpath only because it gets really soggy with the summer rain.

Great Course Layout with Generous Tee Ball Landing Areas

Enjoyed the course very much. Every landing area for the tee balls were very generous. A smart golf architect especially for a resort course. Conditions were good and we were paired with a 5 handicap Englishman and a golfer from Thailand. Both were delightful and fast players. Greens are heavily undulated so be ready. Only beef was that the shuttle boat horns became annoying. Would recommend this course.

The course is average for Disney Brand

I play every time i visit a new place. I got a good deal for the ttime, however the course is average for the price. If you are looking for easy play, then this would be the one.

Fairways were OK, Greens could have been good, but there were so many pitch marks.

Overall it was a great day to be out, but i would not play again if i had other options.

denny day

It was a beautiful day to play golf. The course was in fantastic shape. Fairways were a little tight but the greens and tees were perfect. The rough was still wet from several days of rain earlier in the week. Pace of play was a little stow on the front nine but perfect on the back.
