Disappointed for a Disney Course

I’m an 8 handicap and enjoy paying extra to have a nicely manicured golf course. Here is my review.

The proshop staff was nice and efficient. The Cart/Bag staff was friendly and helpful. I was surprised when I asked about the range they gave me a small basket with 12 balls approximately. Seemed a bit cheap. The range appeared to be under repair and you had to hit off mats. The mats were soaked and full of mud. Very messy. That would be a theme I felt about the whole course… messy. The starter David was very friendly and helpful. I forgot a club on a hole and he sent a staff member to retrieve it for me. The layout of the course is nice. Typical resort course, forgiving but challenging at the same time. The greens were average at best, very slow. I was expecting better. One green looked like it hadn’t been mowed in a week. Not sure why that one green was so shaggy. The entire course was damp and spongy. They did have a bit of rain overnight but I felt that wasn’t the reason. Overall I was disappointed as I was expecting a higher level of attention to detail for a Disney course. I have played the Palm and Magnolia in the past and LBV did not match up to them. I did get a $86 rate from GolfNow and glad I didn’t pay the usual rate of $150+. I wouldn’t go back unless I had a similar deal and even then I’m not sure I would recommend it. As a comparison I played Hawks Landing which was pristine from start to finish and has comparable pricing. I also played Mystic Dunes which also had comparable pricing and would recommend that over LBV. I also played Falcons Fire for considerable less and thought it compared more to LBV. Hope this helps.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course with a good layout. Greens seemed a bit on the slow side with good pin placement. Plenty of native wildlife around the course as well.

Christmas Tound

It was a good round of golf! Liked the course enough to say I would like to play it again but really kind of pricey (even for Disney)!

Fantastic

Staff was super friendly

Free range balls

Food at the turn was great

And the course conditions were just beautiful visiting from up north most of our courses aren’t open so the warm weather and soft green fairways were just great

great Disney course

great greens moderately fast, good grass in fairways, moderately ample landing areas, good layout in the heart of Disney activities with boats carrying park visitors on canals throughout the course.

Great 9 hole course

Greens, fairways and boxes great. Actual sand in the bunkers! Great little 9 hole to get golf in, but still have time for other activities.

Amazing time

Great course w a lot of nice little Disney touchess, (Tee blocks, bunkers, drop areas)but at same time, not over the top. Both the course and hotel grounds we drove past were very scenic.

Nice, but rainy.

Due to no fault of the golf course, the unexpected rainy weather really spoiled the experience. The course was very nice and it wasn’t too difficult nor too easy to play. The staff that I interacted with were all very nice and friendly. I’d love to go back again and give it another chance, with better weather.

Magnolia

Two holes being redone so it’s actually 16 holes . Very generic course and not at all worth the money.

Très beau et difficile parcours

Nous étions 8 et tous les joueurs ont apprécié ce terrain. Plutôt difficile comme parcours, mais super beau layout. Le staff était très sympathique.

WDW Lake Buena Vista Golf Course

Beautiful course and friendly staff at check in and starter.

Very disappointing experience as the course was running behind more than 25 minutes. We had to wait to play on nearly every hole.

Because the club mismanaged time and had us tee off 25 minutes after our scheduled tee time, we were not able to play the last two holes.

Given the cost to play this course, I have a difficult time recommending this course. Perhaps if you tee off in the morning and plan to wait each hole. The staff were indifferent to their poor time management.

No beverage cart and practice range is very small with only a few area to hit. Practice green in poor condition and course was very wet even though the area has had dry conditions.

Very disappointing experience.

Beautiful Layout - Play it even with the construction

Just an absolute gem of a layout and a true, difficult test of golf. Beautiful conditions, quick greens. Loved every moment on the course. Just beware that their standard pace is 15mins a hole and since it's disney they aren't going to push anyone that's slow out there. Bring your patience but don't let the folks complaining about 2 holes that are under construction sway you. Get a hot rate and play this beautiful track that formerly hosted a PGA Tour Event. You won't regret it.
