Wet
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
Nice Course / Super Convenient / Good Value
Tee Boxes could use some work. Greens roll true and reasonably quick.
If you are staying near Disney World
A nice upscale course.
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.
Disney, Lake Buena Vista
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.
The course was in great shape
Course was in great shape greens were fast . Staff was very helpful it was a hot day a staff member came by a few times offering cold towels.pace was little slow but to be expect on a resort course. All in all a good day would recommend.
Nice Day
The price is higher than most courses in the area but it is the Mouse House. Conditions were good except some of the tee boxes were uneven and lacking full grass.
The pace of play was fair with a Marshall moving slow play.
LBV golf
Course conditions were very wet with 4 holes “on path only”. So wet they were essentially unplayable. Staff was nice, pace of play okay , 4 1/2 hours . Otherwise enjoyable round of golf
Boys outing
Course was wet cart path only had to walk a lot son in law and grandson loved it was hot and the staff made sure we had cold towels to put around our necks
Great course
My second favorite of the Disney courses after the Palms but can’t beat the cold towels that the golf assistant cart hands out.
Disney golf
Staff was great, but it was hot (but what do you expect in FL late July?) Course was in excellent shape
Sixsome and overcharged. No Disney magic for me.
Where do I even begin.... I was charged $74.61 at the time of booking and an additional $330.00 at the course so I paid for 5 rounds @ $75.00. The pro shop guy didn't seem to care when I mentioned booking on Golfnow and already paying $74.61. The course was wet but that was expected. What wasn't expected was the 2 "groups" ahead of us pairing up later in the round and becoming a sixsome and they played like you would expect a group that would join up like that (horrible). I even took pictures as proof of them playing as a sixsome. Player assistant showed up on hole 16 and acted shocked and said she would do something about it. This was hole 16 and our round was already ruined. Also, she drove by them on hole 17 and did not say anything??!!. Ordered a hot dog at the turn that must have been in the warmer for about a week., the bun was hard and the dog was inedible.
I expected so much more for $75.00 (actually $100.00) per round. The course was in good shape and was a nice layout but I will never come back and will advise anybody I know to stay away as well.
Disney I am sure does not care but they have lost my business and I would warn others to look elsewhere.
P.S.
I played Championsgate on Saturday and was thoroughly impressed by the course and staff

Sixsome and overcharged
To start the guy in the pro shop ended up charging me for 4 rounds at the course even though it should have only been 3. I have a charge for 74.61 and then another $330.11 for the full 4 rounds. So I ended up paying over $400.00. On top of that the 2 "groups" ahead of us were buddies who joined up once out of range of pro shop (I took pictures to prove this). To make things worse they were not good golfers and never even offered to let us play through. Player assistant shows up on #16 and said she would look into the issue. She drove by them on the 17th tee and didn't notice anything !!!!??? and why bother at that point the round was completely ruined.
Disney is already overpriced but I will never go back there again and will warn all of my friend to look elsewhere for golf.
Played Championsgate on Saturday and it was a very good experience.

The weather during this last 10 days has been relatively unstable for central Florida at this time of the year, and with multiple back to back days of cloudy rainy weather, it is no wonder that the course is having a hard time drying out.
