Great Course without a "Resort Stye" feel
Fun track that isnt your typical resort style course. Greens were good for this time of year. Not too fast and a little bumpy in spots, but for as much play as Disney gets they were in pretty good shape. I would defintely reccommend playing here.
Why were bunkers soaked, hasn't rained in several days
Played 18, course overall in good shape. Some brown spots/thin in fairways but not many, don't remember any on greens. Course in very good shape for a public course. Green were fast and smooth. Only course issue was the bunkers, very wet and hard packed but we haven't had rain in several days - just inattentive watering or worse not caring. Wasn't anyone waiting at cart return which saved me a dollar or two. All in all, I will play again.
very good course
Fairways, rough great shape. Greens were excellent.
Need better consideration for the handicapped. I have a breathing issue and would like to be able to get closer to the green .
9 holes before we fly
We played LBV the morning before we flew home. That was some more fun than going "power shopping" with our much better halves.
We had a pretty good thunderstorm during the night so all play was from the cart path, but GPS units were very helpful in determining distance so club selection wasn't an issue.
Not as Great Conditions as You'd Expect from a Disney Course
The fairways were spotty and browned out on some holes. Most greens were in good shape but not all. It had rained for a few days prior, but it appeared as if the course doesn't drain well.
Enjoyable Day!
Lake Buena Vista is a wonderful facility. Beautiful clubhouse and pro shop. Driving range is huge with water in front. Putting green is very nice. Course layout is nice with some beautiful holes. Overall I would recommend this course. Have fun!
What a let down
As with everything Disney, I went into the playing of this round with high expectations but wow was I let down. Right from the get go my experience at LBV was a tremendous letdown. I went into the clubhouse to pay and after that I headed out back to my cart only to find out there that range balls were not included. I had to make my way back into the pro shop and stand in line for another 10 minutes just to pay for range balls. After the range I headed to the first tee for, ten minutes early for my time. Playing as a single, I was told by the pro shop that there were three more with me. The started informed me at the tee that two of them went off the back and no one knew where the other person was. I watched a twosome go off for the tee time in front of me and my telling the starter that I was tight on time and had a plane to catch did not urge him to put me with the twosome. Instead, I went off late because he wanted to put me with the three people who had the time after mine. This greatly slowed down my round and I left the other three on the 15th tee and went on alone as we had fallen so far behind the twosome I never caught them on the last three holes playing as a single. As for the condition of the course, that too was a tremendous letdown with chewed up tee boxes, burnt our fairways and sanded spots on several of the greens. Luckily, I went through GolfNow and got a discount that was intune with the course conditions. If I was someone who paid over $100 to play today, I would have been outraged. In it’s current state I would not recommend this course to anyone who wants to play a premier course in the Orlando area, there are too many other great courses such as Orange County National, Grand Cypress, Waldorf Astoria, Reunion and others that you can play for about the same price and get a much better experience. Sadly, this was the last Disney course I needed to play to finish the WDW trifecta and I honestly wish I had never played it.
Wonderful Course
We love this course. I would recommend this to anyone visiting. If you can vary your tee times you can usually get a good rate but it's worth the cost.
Nice layout and a bit challenging.
This course has great features

So good we had to go back
We played the course a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it so much we went back again
During this time we also played Disney's Palm and Magnolia , and this was the pick of them. Definitely the best greens by quite along way.
The only downside is the friendliness off the staff in the pro shop ... they are not!!
A Disney Attraction
Greens were firm and fast with plenty of grass. Like most resort courses ball marks and divots are not repaired by the players. At Disney you always expect the little extras and attention to detail. However, the range had no club cleaning equipment and trash was spilling out of the receptical. Staff was awesome! GPS state of the art. Pace of play was excellent.
Tricky greens
After some good showers the past few days, the greens played tricks on our foursome speed seem to vary from hole to hole. All in all this is a very good track. took a little longer to play because of the foursome ahead of us where's the marshals when needed.
very nice course!
Excellent amenities. They pay attention to details. I like it very much!
Very nice course
Great course for a round of golf. Very well maintained course and very friendly staff. Totally recommend
Disney Rarely Let's You Down
When you go to a Disney course you know what to expect from the clubhouse to the course conditions. I can't remember if/when I've had a major complaint when playing there. The only complaint I've had in the past is an inconsiderate golf group or two,which isn't the course's fault. Play with confidence that you have booked an enjoyable day of golf. What, you wouldn't trust a mouse?
Best Course at WDW
I believe LBV is the best course on Disney property. The oldest of the course but well maintained and fun to play. Whines through several of Disney's resorts. Several spots can be sloppy after a rain storm.
Beverage cart doesn't move around the course; located with the starter.
Staff way too friendly
Everywhere you go, from the valet to the starter, are all Disney-Stepford kool-aid drinkers who made things very uncomfortable for my group. We came to play golf, not get quizzed endlessly about everything.
LBV, Disney
Good course that used to be a regular stop on the PGA tour (ended 2012).
Played in the morning with a good deal, 35 dollars including soft drink/beer before and after the round and a breakfast sandwich.
LBV Golf
Course is in excellent condition. Friendly staff. Great time.
Pleasure
This was the second second time I have played this course,and how much it's improved. Staff always the best,course conditions very good.value for money excellent. Sheer pleasure to play. C u again soon. Thanks
