Not Very Magical.

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.

Great course! Bad timing!

Golf Now did not alert us that the course was being aerated. Course was mucky from the rain and the greens were. Of course not awesome. The course gave anyone who booked with them 40% off.

The building and locker rooms need an updated. The service level is always top notch!

Enjoyable round

We were paired with a couple young guys that work at Disney. Had a good time and play was steady with little waiting. Course was in good condition, driving range not so much.

Not so magical

The course was in atrocious condition today. The greens AND fairways have been aerated and left unplayable. I feel like I should ask for my money back. We've played 7 other courses in the orlando area on this trip so I can confidently say " go anywhere else"! This wasn't our first time playing the Palm, so I know they can do better.

Great Day at Lake Buena Vista!

Got a hot deal (93°) on Golf Now as a single at LBV while I was staying in Disney on the course. I got paired up with Lenny, a British gent, whose wife was riding with him. Had a blast playing 9 holes with him. Pace of play was great and the course was in great shape. Greens were excellent too! I would’ve played a few more rounds that week if it wasn’t so hot. Will definitely play LBV again when I’m down in Disney the next time!

Great Round

Had an 11:30 tee time as a single. Showed up at 11:00 and the starter said I could get out early as he had another single at 11:10. Paired me up with an English gentleman whose wife was riding with him. Had a blast playing. 9 with him. Struggled with his golf game but we moved along fast. He quit after 9 so I had to solo the back 9 with no problems. Foursome ahead of me wanted to let me play through but I declined as I would have been held up by the foursome in front of them. The course and greens were in good shape. Little too hot for me at 93°, but I made it through. Will definitely play again on my next trip.

Great day!

Course was somewhat dry and uneven in terms of conditions. Apparently it’s been a dry spring.

Still very good…staff and amenities were very good!
