Ranger
Saludos, mi hora de saluda fue a las 2:15, no pudimos terminar el juego porque los del frente eran demasiado lentos y nos atrasaron el. No vimos un ranger para que hablara con ellos. Todo lo demás fue bueno. Este campo es muy acogedor..
Greetings, my greeting time was at 2:15, we could not finish the game because those in front were too slow and they delayed us. We didn't see a ranger to talk to them. Everything else was good. This field is very welcoming.
Enjoyable
We had a great Sunday morning playing at Buena vista. The course was beautiful, challenging and enjoyable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The greens were in great shape. We were fortunate to get partnered with two nice guys. We’d definitely come back.
Pace of play insanely slow
We have a group of 3 idiots in front of us renting clubs and would drive on the fairway on par 3s when it’s cart path only and they had to push it off manually multiple times. Then there was a group of 5 ahead of them and a group of 4 ahead of them. We couldn’t even finish because it was so slow and it got dark. Missed the last few holes.
Improved course conditions
Last spring the course was in poor condition. I wrote a review then and here is now. Much improved condition. Greens were good. A little faster than they looked, especially downhill. In a few weeks with cooler weather they should be fine. Thank you AP for the effort
Good track to play.
A most enjoyable afternoon playing a decent track with some good company. Course in good shape apart from the last few holes which were still a little damp from the summer rains. Staff were excellent, from bag drop to pick up. Practice facilities in very good nick. GPS in the carts were helpful and accurate. Greens ran true and many were tricky to read with subtle variations. Bunkers in good shape in stark contrast to others in the area.
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.
Great course
This is a great layout that anyone can play. Staff is great and the condition of the course and greens are as good as you will find anywhere.
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.

Very nice
Course was in great shape. Nice layout. Definitely worth the price.
Great Course
Nice course with beautiful surroundings. If near Disney World, check this one out. You won't be disappointed.
Nice course, great layout, played early but slow play all 18 holes. Yes I would play it again
Great course
Course in fantastic shape from tee to green. Was paired with a very nice twosome. Pace was right at 4 hours which is good for a resort course. Greens were a bit sandy but coming in nicely
Greens sandy
Greens have apparently just been worked on. Staff is alway slow friendly. Just very dandy greens. Love the course but I have seen it in better shape.
