Not the most magical place on turf

Great welcome from staff, but unfortunately the rest of the experience did ot match it

Tees were tired , uneven and patchy

Fairways and bunkers were in great condition

But the greens were really poor. The looked bad , had patches sprayed green to hide the bald bits.

To be fair they putted better than they looked ,but were not what you would expect at a Disney course

Have always enjoyed playi g LBV,but am afraid to say will ot be in a rush to return.

Southern Dunes at Hanes city is a far better course and in much better condition

Staff was super friendly (as they should be bc it’s Disney). Plenty of hydration (5th and 13th ice machines) and saw beverage cart twice during the round. Little disappointed in pace of play (5 hour round) but the course was in superb shape. Only knock I have is the price. I have played better courses for a better deal. $184 was about $50 too much.

good but not great

the green fees are way too high. there are courses nearby that are in as good a shape if not better for a fraction of the price. For a Disney property the course should be pristine, but it isn't.

It definately wasnt the course I played in the past.

Ok day

The condition of the course is ok. Needs a little attention. Weather was great. Pace of play ok. There are several other courses in the area that are a fraction of the cost and in just a good if not better condition.

Club rental price outrageous

$99 club rental and glove is a bit too much even with a dvc discount. Other than that, everything was great.

Excellent course

I wouldn’t pay prime time tee time pricing there to play, but the afternoon tee time Prius excellent. Extremely fair course to play, and the greens are generally in great condition.

It was ok

I had the first tee time of the day, but they wouldn't allow me to use my range balls due to the darkness. Our group consisted of four singles, yet they made 2 of us share carts, even though there were plenty of carts available at the turn. Some of the hole placements on the greens were absurd—it's unreasonable to expect people to make downhill putts that roll off the green. The staff was very impolite besides the pro shop lady who was very nice. That is my biggest complaint. People are paying premium price to play a sub-par course, so everyone should be extremely nice and accommodating. This course used to cost $85 before COVID, but now the price has soared to $225 seemingly just because of the Disney is in the name. While I did enjoy the course, I wouldn't pay $225 to play here again.

Expected a slow pace, but never waited once for all 18 holes. Beautiful course.
