Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

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

Course was in good shape and was t too crowded. I still consider myself a beginner, but I didn't think the course was too difficult. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only complaint I have is that they only gave us a very small bucket of range balls, and the range was pretty far from where you get the balls, so we couldn't get more. Also the range mats needed repair; I couldn't get a tee to stand up for driver shots. Loved the Disney stuff around the course!

I played this course the second time. this round was a present for my wife to her birthday. She was very happy because the course has a fantastic layout, perfect fairways and greens. The service was very friendly and perfectly.

Very interesting course and the team gives a great support!

Swore off Disney golf years ago where rounds were 5 hours or more and courses were in awful shape. Happy to report that in my return to Lake Buena Vista things have improved. Round was 4.5 hours exactly, we never had to wait on a tee box. Staff awesome and friendly. Course in fair condition. Will play definitely play again.

Just what expected from a Disney course.

Great outing.

First time playing the course. The starter let me know that I would be paired with someone, and it would cost extra to have my own cart. I got it taken care of at the clubhouse but believe me when I tell you the starter thought he was going to have it his way! No sir, He paired other tee times to fill in our spot and then the pace of play was awful.
