Very Nice

The course was in better condition that I thought it would be, I enjoyed it very much. The greens were in good shape but very little breaks. Very friendly staff.

Don't book through GolfNow!

I payed almost $50 more per player for a "hot deal" on GolfNow than was available for a Florida Resident on the direct website. That website was also coincidentally managed by GolfNow but all of the times both before and after my scheduled tee times were only $121.

Fun course but…S L O W

It’s a fun layout, greens were in good shape, not too fast (probably 9-10 on the stimp).

The pace of play was extremely poor. When we made the turn, there were three groups in the 10th tee and we waited on every single shot from there out.

Seems like everything is busy, congested and slow moving in Disney and the LBV golf course is no exception.

As Expected

Disney is expensive, but many of our Disney experiences have been priceless, including playing golf at LBV:). The staff was very accommodating and friendly, the course was beautiful and well kept and the pace of play could not have been better. There were a couple extremely hard holes (e.g. a 205 yd par 3 from the senior tees) but otherwise the layout was medium/hard but fair. We will definitely be back!

Nice Course, overpriced

Lovely course, well maintained, friendly staff. Greens good. No real complaints about the course or venue though I do feel it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

Mornings are the best

Teed off at 11:20am. Pace of play was great, course was in good shape. Had a hard time getting used to the speed of the greens (slower than used to).

Pace of Play Issues

We teed off right on time at 2:04pm. Sunset was 6:15pm so we were a little concerned about pace of play. Took 2 hours and 25 minutes to play 8 holes. We considered stopping after nine holes, but the ranger invited us to skip hole #9 and proceed directly to #10. We finished the back nine in 1 hour 45 minutes. Would prefer that the ranger ask the slow groups to pick up and move a hole instead of skipping a hole to pass a slow group.

Nice course, but…

Overall, ia nice course for the first time golfer. A plus that there was Nnot much water, and also no unfair surprise holes. My one major disappointment was that the gold tease that I played were not moved very far up from the white tees. This penalizes the senior golfer who relies on “seniot tees” to compensate for lost distance. Also the course was a bit too pricey for the value IMO.

Was very surprised

When I booked this I thought it was just another ove priced course in Orlando area. But was pleasantly surprised to see how nice the greens and fairways were, absolutely mint shape. Fun course to play as there are a lot of different hole types from dog legs, well placed bunkers and water to make it challenging enough for the lower handicap golfer. Even chatted with the superintendent on one of the holes and he asked me how I thought the greens were, you can tell he really cares about his work and it shows....Will definitely add this to the rotation on future trips.

Disney

LBV has a varied and nice selection of holes.the ranger was trying but pace of play was 20-30 minutes too slow. Waited on every shot. Greens need to be sped up a bit, even downhill putts had hard time reaching the hole. However, the weather, company, and overall atmosphere was very enjoyable

Great value for the time slot

We took a later tee time to save some money and this course didn’t disappoint. Only got 16 holes in but well worth the money.

Great course

The guy at the bag drop area (Al) was so welcoming and the starter (Roger) did a good job in a very orderly manner. The people responsible at the cart area did not provide any range balls (maybe waiting for the golfers to ask - perhaps for additional tips), I proceeded to the driving area not knowing I have to pick up the range balls there at the cart area and have to scour for range balls in the driving range (bad). The course is in great condition - tee boxes, fairways, and greens.

Greens Need Work

I am an avid golfer who plays well over 100 rounds annually. I will start with the not-so-good. The greens were very disappointing for this price point $100+. Many of them were bumpy and were not in great condition. The greens consistently lacked true roll. The good: Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape and the staff were very helpful/friendly. I would not play this course at this price point again. I would recommend this course only to those that don't care about true-roll on the greens.
