Disney Magic
LBV is the best Disney course. It has a great mix of holes. The conditions were excellent. Its challenging but fun. Big greens, generous fairways. It helps if you can shape it both ways off the tee. Very scenic through the Saratoga Resort area by Disney Springs. When I have friends or family visit, this is a course I take them too. Sometimes it’s pricey, but today was good.
Great condition
Played a late round so course was pretty wide open. Over seeding has come in nice and course is in beautiful shape. Greens were perfect and rolled true. LBV is one of my favorite courses to play in Orlando.
Could be a great course, but.....
Arriving at the course, the bag attendant took our bags and informed us where to park and where to go when we entered the club house. The people at the pro shop where very matter of fact, no real personality. We had a 7:12 tee time and we were there at 6:45. By the time we checked in and got to our cart it was almost 6:55. When we asked about the availability to hit balls the cart attendant told us that we needed to be at the starter ten minutes early in case he could get us out early. We drove to the driving range instead, only to find out that you need to purchase range balls. This is something that a course that charges over 100.00 dollars should include. When I asked the starter about it, he said "most courses charge for balls." The course itself is great. A lot of fair holes. Some long, some short. I had a rough front nine, but a great back nine. The greens are true and hold the line. I will say that people do not fix their ball marks as I found myself repairing mine plus two to three. The course should remind people to repair their ball marks. The pace of play was great, but than again we were second off for the day. We finished in 3:40 minutes.
Best Disney Course
Awesome course. The greens were lightning fast for Orlando standards. You can't beat the local rate!
Challenging Fun.
This course is a gem. It’s challenging but fun. You need to be creative and shape shots both ways. The greens are fast, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Good pace of play. One of my favorites in Central Florida.
Disney course with Disney hospitality
Great course, friendly staff everything you expect from a Disney property
LBV
Country club feel. Can play wet. Pace can be an issue. Love the layout.
I want my money back!
The course conditions are good. A staff member was waiting on us in between holes 12 and 13 to ‘speed us up’ which totally screwed-up everybody in our group as we rushed the next hole...ONLY TO WAIT AGAIN AT THE NEXT TEE BOX AS WE DID ALL DAY!!! In addition, I had a $30 Disney merchandise credit that I wanted to use for a Mickey golf shirt but they refused it and said I could only use at the parks. Really? Merry Freaking Xmas!
Enjoyable layout
As a single, paired-up with visitors who spoke mostly French, but had an enjoyable round on a well- manicured and challenging layout.
Disney Disappoint
This was my first experience of playing a Disney course and I was not disappointed. From the welcome at bag drop to the final putt the enjoyment was continuous. None of the holes were outstanding visually but every hole was in great shape with greens running true and very fast. Things were a bit over-priced in the pro shop and the chip & slice grill but this does not detract from a great course.
Lbv
Super layout good challenge course in excellent order. Some challenging holes that were competitive. A thoroughly enjoyable round of golf.
Great experience - course good condition-
Disney troupes to make sure you have a great experience on a well maintained gold course
Great
Course great shape , pro shop staff very professional , on course staff great and super friendly great value
Must play
Course and staff excellent. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. We had a group of 8 but could only get 2 tee times on line with a group in between us. Once we got to the course they put us out together. Thanks
