Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

Course and pace was good. Was forced to ride in the same cart with a stranger. First time I’ve had this experience. And of all places, in Disney World. My riding partner was a female. It was awkward at first, but we tried our best. The experience was not what I expected to play golf. I know I didn’t drink as much because I didn’t want my playing partner to feel uncomfortable. Overall, not the best experience playing golf.

My husband and I took our 6 year old granddaughter, who is learning to play, to LBV. We told the starter that we would not hold anyone up because she tees off and then putts, so there would be no delays. The staff was more than accommodating, and even encouraged her play. As it turned out, the foursome in front of us were fairly slow, so she had opportunity to take a few more shots than we anticipated. She loved the Disney themed holes and thoroughly enjoyed her experience! This was my husband and my second time playing here, and we enjoyed it as well. The conditions were good, especially given recent hurricanes in the area. We were also lucky enough to get beautiful weather. A great day!!

I had high expectations for this course given its Disney reputation and price, but it didn’t quite live up to them. The course conditions were passable, but not particularly noteworthy. It was disappointing to see a lot of unrepaired divots and ball marks on the greens, along with bunkers that hadn’t been properly raked. It seemed like the kind of wear you’d expect from a course that caters to vacationers just passing through.

The driving range was a letdown as well. The range balls were in bad shape, and the overall maintenance of the practice area left much to be desired.

On a positive note, the staff was very friendly, and the pace of play was decent, but with so many better-maintained and more affordable courses in the area, I don’t see myself coming back.

Overall, the course was in good shape. A lot of the holes were straight with not many doglegs. I prefer to have to pick spots in the fairway vs just a straight hole. The greens were in decent shape but slower than I thought they would be.

I have played this course before and enjoyed it but this was by far the worst condition I have ever experienced on a WDW golf course. Wait until the course condition improves before playing. WDW also offering 15% off of green fees as they accept course is in poor condition.

Great layout, friendly staff, terrible conditions. Putting on a sandbox.

I played on 9/16 with my daughter and her boyfriend. I knew from an email received after booking that we were going to be playing cart path only which surprised me. We had played two days earlier at Reunion on the Palmer course and couldn't have asked for better course conditions. Lake Buena Vista however was in abysmal condition, I don't think I've ever even played on a course in worse condition, and I live in the Seattle area and play through the winter. None of us enjoyed the round, and after playing I felt really taken advantage of paying almost $400 for the three of us and one club rental. Even at half this rate I wouldn't have played if I'd have known what we were in for. There should have been some kind of warning about the condition of the course. I repeatably picked up my ball from a plugged fairway lie and placed it in the rough just so I could play from grass. I've been playing over 25 years and have never seen anything like it. The grass on the fairways reminded of looking at someone who just got a really bad hair plug job.

I have played there three other times, and all were great experiences so don't write it off. Paying full price for this experience without a warning left a bad taste in my mouth. I doubt I'll be back. I rated the course extremely challenging only because of its condition, normally I would have given it a fairly easy to moderate

Greens have just been aerated and top dressed. Additionally, they appear to be preparing for over seeding as the fairways were in very rough shape.

Green, and fairway conditions are so terrible, weeds and fungi on fairways and greens, golf carts only on cart paths, wet conditions through all the golf course.

Love the layout of this course. Luckily I played on a hot deal. If I had paid full retail then saw the greens I would have asked for a refund.

I liked the layout of the course. Fairways and greens are in very good condition..Pace of play was slow, parents with kids on the course, no marshals to monitor speed. Snack bar for drinks after round, but not recommendable, no views and loud. Golf carts are equipped with GPS tracking, but in several situations it stopped the cart (pretended to be in restricted area) although i was on cart path. This is annoying and should definetely be reviewed.

Usually a great course but the conditions were disappointing and they are aware of it. There’s a discount at the counter. Greens were aerated and pretty thick. Fairways were thick too so not a lot of roll out. Looks like some tee boxes were redone with new grass.

Very little sand in bunkers. Greens had been recently punched. Fairways were in pretty bad shape for a Disney course. Had to move ball to find grass a few time
