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.
Not as good as last time
Played 4 years ago and it was mint. The course was OK for condition but was rough in places. Several greens had multiple patches which were been worked on. The greens had weeds in places and recovering after aerating. Shame for a Disney Course.
Disney Way of Playing Golf
This course at Disney Lake Buena Vista is a beautiful place to play golf. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommend this course.
This is a great course
This was the first time playing this course. I have payed both Disney's Magnolia and Palm course. The Lake Buena Vista course was just as challenging as those course if not more because of the narrow and tree lined fairways. Love that it goes through saratoga, old key west and the tree house villas. Even thought the course was wet from all of the rain lately, the condition of the course was in great shape. Greens were far better than the greens on Magnolia and Palm, bunkers had just been redone and were in excellent shape.
Disney says it all
I booked a round at Disney and, being a local, I expected crowds and waiting in line. There was none of that here. The staff was friendly and courteous. The tee times were spaced so that you did not feel rushed (conveyor belt style typical in central Florida) or pushed. The course was very well groomed and the off-course amenities were excellent as well. Disney, need I say more? We will definitely be back!
Great track
I really enjoyed playing this course. The layout is great and the course is player friendly. The fairways are wide enough to accommodate the average golfer and the greens are good.
Really solid course
Enjoyed my round here. Disney class all the way. Course stays in good shape all year around and makes any trip to WDW extra enjoyable. Bring your clubs and play!
Disney Magic
Course was in great shape, didn’t really expect anything else from a Disney point of view. Staff were really friendly and the course was a great test with great condition. Always great to believe in the magic for the children but Disney also takes care of the Big kids that visit the golf ccourse also.
Can’t go wrong with Disney!!
As expected great service, course was in excellent condition !!! We had an exceptional time. I will definitely play this course again!!
Great course layout but the pace of play was unbelievably slow. no Marshall to be found. sand traps were not raked and the fringes on ever green were extremely spongy
