Been a long time

Great course... hadn't been out here in many years because I'm not local. Worth the drive...challenging opening hole...some tight fairways...but lots of fun. I'll be back sooner than the last visit.

Excellent Course, Great Staff!

Played this course for the first time on a trip to Orlando in August 2020. From the time we checked in till finishing on the 18th hole this course and staff did not disappoint. Absolutely loved the layout and the challenge of a few holes. The beverage cart was prompt and arrived quite a few times during our round. I travel every August to Orlando to play golf with my buddies, we will definitely be back to Lake Buena Vista!

Fiancé and I’s first Disney course

Absolutely loved it! Very long course but played pretty consistent to our “handicap’s”. Beautiful scenery and challenging greens! Great course for the mid level golfer looking to challenge themselves.

I'm Hooked!

Spent a great morning playing this great course. It was wet so it was cart path only. As you know, it's a little more difficult to golf on a wet field. It makes the game longer since the ball doesn't run. That can be both good and bad.

The fairway is really wide, so it is a forgiving course. Despite the wetness, the entire course looked great. Your chances of hitting into a hazzard is really low. The greens were deceptively fast...even when while it was still a bit wet. It is one of the best kept courses I've seen in hte world.

The staff was great. They cleaned our clubs once we were finished. I bought a coupon on-line. They honored it and gave us a coupon to return for the same price. My goals is to go back within 2 weeks.

Disney doesn’t disappoint

Greens were aerated which we knew going in- hence the discounted rate. Nice course with plenty of scenery. Would definitely play here again!

Fun course but no beverage cart on a hot day

Playing golf in the afternoon I understand it going to be hot. But it gets a lot hotter with no water on the course and then not seeing the beverage cart except for once on 10 after making the turn. Course was in good shape.

Not worth the Disney Prices

Unbelievable that the course conditions for “Disney” could be so bad. It was unacceptable for the money paid to play. Nothing extra which is always expected with Disney. Many other great courses in the area with much more to offer.
