A good walk…

This is a nice 9-hole layout that is a good walk…spoiled or unspoiled by the golf. The holes are relatively short, but there are two par fives and plenty of trouble to be found. Pace of play was good. Short waits a a couple holes. Overall fun and interesting layout.

In the distant future the course has potential.

This course being a Disney property you would

expect good to excellent conditions but it was

Quite the opposite. The overall course from fairways

to greens appears to be lacking water for health

grass growing. Putting on the greens was not fun

which everyone knows can be very frustrating. The

Back 9 on hole 17 we learned was under construction

for the past 2 years and it doesn’t look like they are

anywhere close to completion. All that being said for the cost of a round you should consider a different facility.

Disappointed Player!!!!!!!!

Outstanding Staff

First played here in 1971 when it opened. It was a premier course then but the layout is very resort like now There is construction of new hotels and roadways nearby. It's very noisy and seems congested. The front nine is nondescript with the first 3-4 holes near the construction and roadways. The back nine is much more picturesque with 4 holes surrounding a lake finishing with a tough par four 18th hole. The staff is outstanding. The "clubhouse" seems to be somewhat makeshift building with just a simple pro shop, smallish locker room / bath room. The only food is the on course cart and a outdoor walk up type sandwich counter. The course was in respectable shape with the greens being probably a 9 - 10 on the stimp (not fast by any means). We played in 4:20. The pace of play was amazing considering its a crowded resort and long distances from green to tee in some cases. As public tracks go in central Florida it's respectable but better courses within 30 minutes for sure.

Construction and hole rerouting ruins the day

I booked with TeeOff and was not advised of the construction and hole rerouting. Compounding the problem was that the impact was on the last 3 or 4 holes. They actually needed rangers to tell you where to go. You could not enter your score for handicap because it was just unrealistic. You definitely need a laser because your watch won't work and the cart GPS was just difficult to understand. Too bad, because the rest of the course was quite nice and it will be great when finished, but a waste of money and time yesterday.

Very disapointed that TEEoff, Golf Pass did not make a point of highlighting the issue. We were advised by Magnolia the day before about the construction but by then too late to book something else.

Little to no grass; cut too short

Greens were in good condition overall, but fairways were cut way too short. Every shot from the fairway was a "tight lie". Would recommend playing this course when the Bermuda comes back in spring-Summer.

Magnolia still in transition

Elected to play Magnolia with hot deal and knew the last few holes were still being reworked. Given that, Magnolia can still be a top notch course but I thought the greens and overall appearance is not to Disney standards. Greens were slower than I expected and had more than a few blemishes.

Given the price I paid, it was still a value. I won’t rush to go back until it is completed.

Course Modifications

The Magnolia is one of my favorites in Orlando. Unfortunately they were working on a few holes and change the layout. If you have the option. I would wait until they complete their works before playing there.

Great course, worth the cost

Played here for the first time. Rented clubs and had an 8:30 tee time. Pace of play was great (less than 4 hrs) and the course was in awesome conditions. Best bunkers I’ve ever seen and greens were fast and rolled true.

Only negatives are: very poor selection of rental clubs available, and the GPS on the cart broke on the final 3 holes. Expensive course, but worth the price. Was shocked to see tax charged for the tee time. In California we don’t pay taxes on green fees, it’s just the fee and that’s it. Added an extra $20+ that I wasn’t expecting.

Well designed challenge

First time playing Disney Palm after playing Disney LBV. Palm is a more traditional golf course that will test your skills having hosted PGA events in the past. Interesting historical signs at each tee box. The last 5 holes are a treat, well designed scenic and tough. Pace of play was very slow and didn't get 18th hole in but at $60 what a bargain.

Nice Course in Good Condition

Only gave the course layout 3 stars because it comes too close to housing (villas & treehouses). The rest of the course was great and well maintained. The driving range quite small.

Very average course

The best part of this course was the staff, very friendly and helpful. The putting area was excellent as well. As for the course it was very average from layout to course maintenance. Greens where slow, good driving range, fairways were not in great shape.

Greens not in good shape. Slow.

Course under construction, was supposed to receive a discount, never happened.

Certainly not up to Disney standards.
