Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

I played this course in the 1982 Walt Disney Classic and again 1998 and both times it was a very good experience but this time was a real dissappointment. While most of the outside staff was very courteous, friendly and helpful the man behind the counter was none of those things. He was anything but friendly. The course was in poor condition and the value for the money certainly wasn't there. The beverage cart is stationed by the first tee and never moved from that location. For the price of our pre-made sandwiches and soft drinks, we could have eaten at The Capitol Grill. I don't think I will play there again. There are a lot of better courses in the area for less money.

LBV is the best of the Disney 3 for low handicappers (Mag, Palm, LBV). This course requires patience when managing your round. Even playing from the tips, a driver is not the correct club off several tee boxes. (Ex. #1 par 5: A solid 3 wood will clear the bunkers, yet leave you short of the water and pinched fairway in the sweet spot...still reachable in 2 for those with a precise hybrid game). The layout meanders through condos and waterways and requires a solid game to score well. The beverage cart does not traverse the course so stock up before your round. Excellent Disney Customer Service throughout.

Course was in fair condition, not great, not well kept.
Marshal did not manage to keep up the pace. We could not finish because of darkness, even though we started early enough

Top notch track,,greens are great,run real fast and true.Loved this course and will play next time I'm in Florida

I can't find anything about the course to complain about. Pace of play was 41/2 hours.(typical in Fl.). We played later in the day and had to repair a lot of ball marks on the greens. That, however is not the fault of the course.

Although several holes were cart path only, this wasn't a big problem. Bring some extra balls as there are several potentials for loss. Although the course seemed busy, we never saw the people in front of or behind us all day. Played in 3 hours, 45 minutes.

we were on a disney trip anniversary and my wife wanted to go and ride with me they charged her $15 dollars just to ride with me that's a joke I have played many other courses in Orlando and they did not charge her to ride with me

Pace of play was painfully slow - the foursome directly in front of us were clearly beginners, and were in no hurry. We had to wait more than 15 minutes at the turn to tee off. On the 14th hole, a message was sent to our cart to let us know that the group in front of us was 1.5 holes behind the group before them, and that they had been "warned" to speed up their pace. On the 16th, a ranger came out and told our group that WE were the ones behind the pace at the turn. While we tried to explain to the ranger what we were seeing the group in front of us do to slow play, the ranger wouldn't listen to us and said the delay was because there was no cart girl at the turn. The whole interaction felt very unprofessional and rude, on top of our frustration of a five-hour round of golf - not up to Disney expectations.

Price is a little high if it was not a Christmas present for myself I probably would have played elsewhere. It is a nice course but comparable to the ones I play in Georgia for half the price.

Staff were very kind for family golfers. My daughter enjoyed very much.

Excellently maintained and we got a Cold drink, coffee and a breakfast sandwich included in the price. Great deal.

Really like this course. Good challenges for a beginner such as myself. Staff and service were excellent

Very friendly staff, there was some construction in the resort so finding the clubhouse/carpark was a bit tricky. The course was in great codition, the greens were undulating and true. Although it winds through a resort the fairways are some distance from the buildings.

When I went on to golf now to book this course I purposely looked for one with 18 holes the price according to golf now was $29 plus tax when my wife and I arrived at the course we were told that the $29 was a Sunday special for nine holes with drinks and a lunch which we did not want. In order to play the 18 holes we had to pay an additional $25 each. We were not the only ones to run into this problem as there were a number of other golfers who also booked on golf now only to find that it cost them more when they got to the course. This did not make any of us very happy.

Great course, good value with a hot deal, but wouldn;t pay full price. Friendly staff, well maintained. a little tight. Would play again with a good deal.

I had waited a few years to play a Disney course and I was greatly disappointed. There are many course in Orlando of better quality for less money. It was nice and very playable but not all the special

LBV is an excellent course with an awesome layout. My favorite part was the speed and consistent greens. The layout is great too. The pace of play was great for 6 holes then it slowed to a crawl. We found the problem on the 10th hole. It was a lady and man who were horrible. You do not have to be good to play fast. After 5 swings form the fairway it is time to pick up the ball. Other than that it was a great day.

when its hot u don't want to be stuck behind guys how cant play, I know its Disney but mickey could play faster. sorry.

Conditions were a little soggy the day we played due to heavy rainfall in the preceeding two weeks. Cart path only slowed play a bit, but the round went at a good pace anyway. Even with all of the ground moisture, fairways were highly playable and the greens were superior(not at all slow). A very good value.

Tried to take advantage of a sunny day and play golf. Staff did warn us of wet conditions on the course, but had not planned on walking through mud on every hole - fairways and rough. Greens and tees were in excellent shape, but we stopped after 9 holes covered in mud and with soaked feet from walking through mud. Disney should probably close the course, as there were many areas totally destroyed by tractors/mowers attempting to get through the swampy conditions and are inflicting long term damage I fear,. We were given refund for the remaining 9 holes. Staff is always great there. Will be back after it dries out
