Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

A good layout and a fair test. Greens in good shape as well as the course.

Had played a Disney course in the past and wanted to try another. LBV was in good condition and the staff and single who joined me and my wife was very friendly and helpful. Took advantage of an afternoon price reduction and was able to play under 4 hours. Good for a resort track that gets that amount of play.

What i have come rooki expect from Disney. Great course

Scenic and challenging course. Disney staff are always attentive and keep the course very well maintained.

First time playing a Disney course.

Expectation was that course would be in better condition. Fairways seemed a little chewed up but maybe that they were airrated recently. Greens were average and fairly slow. Tees were fine.

Was cool that the layout went thru several of the Disney resort properties like old key west and the Treehouses.

Was not a real memorable course in terms of the actual holes.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Would probably not play again but would try the palm and magnolia courses instead.

I just played. All clerks are very friendly, but like name, it is really lake in the winter. Except the box and green, all terrains are almost mud. I couldn't finish all the course.

Only played two holes.

Course was super saturated and muddy.

Rain was threatening and had the staff alerted us to the radar we might have postponed. They did warn us on the first tee of the no refund policy after 2 holes. Of course the rain started before we finished the third hole and they closed the course after we teed off on 4 after a half hour or more delay. Inside the pro shop the gave us an $90 rain check for some future time, which doesn’t do us much good because we’re not from the area and we were leaving that day. The cashier appeared to be new and said yes she was giving us a “credit” which was really a rain check. I would have taken exception with the rain check as the group next to us had just negotiated a full refund with the manager or more senior attendant. They were also saying they would probably reopen the course but had to clear out the people from the course being closed first.

The course itself seemed consistent high quality Disney with lush plantings and good conditions, although we couldn’t really evaluate since we only played 3 or 4 holes with cart path only and very wet. The front nine clearly wrapped around the Disney villas and lodging. The parking lot for the course is also shared with other Disney facilities so it’s kind of crowded and tight. It is right next to the boat crossing to the Disney Boardwalk, which could be a fun side trip after a round. The entrance to the pro shop is kind of in the back door and the club house is then through the corridor and it’s nicer on the other side. Overall, not a great experience for a wash out, and we’re left with virtually useless rain checks until maybe we go back to Orlando in a year or sometime in later if it’s not lost by then.

All fairways were tight lies, very little grass and wet. Even walking you could feel them soft. You had to fly the greens with any approach shot. The greens were quick and true with only a few spots on them that was bare

Tee Boxes could use some work. Greens roll true and reasonably quick.

If you are staying near Disney World

We tee’d off in the morning after a downpour the night before. A gorgeous day, but the course doesn't drain very quickly, cart paths only. Fairways fairly easy to navigate, some water but most doesn’t come into play. Greens were fair and true, not difficult. A very good resort course with nice layout. All holes wind through the resort but you never feel like you are too close to any structure. Highly recommend this course if you want a reasonably open course designed for mid to high handicappers. Playing from the whites, we had a great round. Pleasant staff.

Great course. Very sporty which I like. Conditions were really good. Staff couldn’t have been nicer. The only criticism I have is the beverage cart could have come around a little more often.
