Brutal

Played course 25 times in last 3 years, great layout and conditions usually v good. Played twice in last 3 weeks and absolutely horrendous. Beyond wet. My group lost 8 balls in fairways and in front of greens because they plugged. Workers and especially the GM refused to admit not apologize for it. Junior tournament played right before us, and were complaining up a storm as well after. Having a beer after (spending more money) and commiserating with parents of kids who just went thru heck trying the play the course, the GM came out and told us all to "stop complaining or he would call security!!"! Absolute truth. In 35 years of playing golf never seen that before.

All in all Disney ought to be ashamed - total disgrace

Beautiful but Slow

The address given for the course sent us to another course (in “Google Maps”)., so we barely got to the first tee for our scheduled time. When signing in on “Golfnow” part of the fee is paid by one of the players. That is not acknowledged at the golf course. The pace of play was too slow. Still, it is a beautiful course and I would recommend it to anyone.

The rate of play was absolutely ridiculous. To make it worse, the starter mentioned a slow group and said they’ve been informed they need to pick up the pace, however, nothing was done and we quit after a 3hr front 9. They knew the problem and yet they chose to do nothing about it. From other conversations on the course, it seems this is more common than it should be because they fear a bad review for asking someone to stop playing yet they forget the negative impact of everyone behind the snails.

Nice Disney course, good shape, busy.

The course is nice, greens a little slow due to aeration and sand (a couple need some attention), the fairways and t-boxes are good. Very busy course for a friday, could use a ranger to move things along better. Overall a good experience, will play again.
