Good Layout, fun course
Let me start by saying this was the first time I have played this course, even though I have played the other Disney courses a handful of times each. The staff was very friendly and helpful checking in, on the course, and after the round. The putting/chipping green near the first tee was very large but only had 5 holes cut. Would potentially like to see more holes or even the golf ball sized training holes cut here to provide more dynamic looks before the round. The layout of the course is nice. Definitely, have to be accurate and keep the ball in play. Only a few holes allow for mistakes with water and trees coming into play on almost every driving hole. The greens were challenging to read and quite quick if not in the correct locations. The only critic and warning I have about the course would be that due to the nature of its location, between several Disney resorts. Depending on the time of the day, you can have some loud background noise or delays for transportation boats passing on some of the holes. Overall this is a good course, but as a local, I might steer clear as it has the feel of a typical resort course.
Another Great Disney Course
This course was a lot of fun to play. A few holes have challenging green side bunkers. The speed of the greens was just right. Staff as usual was very friendly.
Pin Placement complaint
Want faster play, pay more attention to the person that put the flag location on course, very questionable placement of flag on 15. Great shots 1 inch from hole to the left and ran off green several feet below the green. Otherwise love the course and conditions are excellent, highly recommend course.
Happiest turf on earth
Beautiful golf course in fantastic condition. Staff was super friendly and course was immaculately keep.
Lake Buena Vista
Great course, beautiful greens would definitely play again!
Nice
The layout of the course was very nice, the pace was a tad slow, but the greens were even slower. I’d play it again if a bit cheaper. Kinda pricey for slow greens.
johns lake bv
The course was good but not outstanding in layout or scenery; greens and most fairways course conditions very good but around the greens, some fringes were worn thin. Pace was slow and no ranger around to help speed it up. The range was sub par; no stand to put your clubs on and no club cleaning water or brushes. The parking was a disaster---totally lacking the capacity. I drove around and waited for someone to leave for 20-25 min before finally giving up and parking in a " company" space. As a consequence, I lost virtually all of my warm up practice time and was stressed when starting the round. The club staff was not very concerned about this problem and offered little or no help/suggestions to park for a while. The one person just said it was a busy day and they could not do anything about it Very disappointing. Don't think I will ever go there again
Interesting course
We found the course very interesting, but we don’t think it was worth $105. A more fair price would be $80 or $85. The staff was super friendly but we were disappointed that nobody noticed that we left personal items in the cart cooler. Our fault but they should check. We would play this course again but would hope to get a better price.
Fun Course to Play
The course is not too challenging, would recommend it for one but the very serious players. Several of the groups ahead of us were a little bit slow but not too bad. They were older and having fun. The course plays along a canal with Disney boats that are constantly hooking their horns every time they pass another boat or go under a bridge. Very ignoring after awhile. *** Driving range uses special balls that float and don't go as far. I was worried about my game till someone told me. A bit a relief when your pitching was comes up 30 yards short every time.
mickey was SLOW
another course that has a ranger that does nothing. why have a ranger if he is not going to push groups that are out of place???
Beauty
LBV is a great course, but you better bring your A game. It has relatively narrow fairways and practically every green is surrounded by bunkers. But the trip around the course is well worth the challenge.
Dusney
Bought golf now late 9 hole deal. W
It rained earlier so course was wet. Very welcoming staff. Let us go out a bit early so finished before sunset. Took boat ti east at Disney springs which was very convenient.
Would play again.
Fun Round
course was a little wet due to rain a couple days before. Greens were quick but rolled true.bunkers were great. The course was a little beaten up from the rain and traffic but very playable. My complaint would be $100 for a round and you have to pay for range balls.Come on Disney ... really! Staff were great.overall a fun round.

Love playing this coarse always make it a must play compared to the other Disney coarses
Another pleasant day at LBV
As always, the course was great, and the weather was cooperative. Other than my errant shots, nothing to complain about. This is a great golfing experience.
Perfect Day For Golf
The greens were extremely fast!! The fairways okay shape! The sand traps were redone and excellent! The course is wide open and not as difficult as Magnolia. Begingers suggest playing LBV. Par 3 have to carry over the water. Over all great experience at Disney.
Thank you for your recent review of our facilities and your experience playing at Walt Disney World's Lake Buena Vista golf course.
This past Sunday was an extremely busy day due to the fact that two of our championship golf courses were closed during early morning hours for Run Disney Marathon operations, thus causing additional compression at Disney's LBV golf course. We had Player Assistants out monitoring play who are trained to handle these situations appropriately when they arise.
We hope that you will play our wonderful courses again in time to come, so we can exceed your expectations upon your next visit to Orlando.
