Walt Disney World

Course was near perfect. Only issue was how different the practice putting green was (fast) from the actual greens (slower). That was the only “negative”. I would play this course every week if it wasn’t so expensive for a regular guy. It’s in my top 5 I’ve played.

Wow, memories were made today. From tees to greens, conditions were outstanding. Only downside was that it was cart path only, but hey, grass needs water to be that green. One of the best courses I’ve played in a long, long time. A country club course like experience for sure. Coming back to play Magnolia in a few days, can’t wait.

Some of the greens were very uncharacteristic of Disney courses. Some burned out areas. Otherwise course was I great shape.

Loved to play at Magnolia, beautiful par 3 with Micky’s sand trap! Beautiful, and all very friendly! Thanks you all!

Beautiful, challenging and fun course for intermediate to advanced golfers. Too many bunkers and water holes for beginner golfers.

Played Magnolia on a reasonably perfect day for golf. Course was in good shape but a bit different than the 1st time I played it. Greens are fairly large and a bit of a challenge to read. They have changed/added a few holes on the back 9 so I had to rely on a rangefinder and not the gps for holes 15-17. Beware of the gators - we did see a couple lurking about!

Going into this round, I knew the conditions were going to be at least solid and the nods to Disney around the course would be fun. My expectations were blown away. The course conditions were absolutely perfect, the pace of play was perfect (just under 4 hours 8 AM tee time). The course was peaceful and quiet, so much so that we could hear the sounds of the railroad at Magic Kingdom and the ferry boats going back and forth across the lagoon. It was such a cool backdrop for a golf round! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The addition of Grumpy's Gauntlet gets you, and was the reason that I didn't break 80...but I was having such a good time that I didn't even care. One of the best rounds of vacation golf I have ever had. Price-wise, it was comparable with any other nice resort course, but the setting and the nods to Disney as you golf made the high price SO worth it. I can't wait to go back.

Played LBV on Sunday 2/15 fresh off the plane waiting to check into our room. The location of the course and the layout are really cool, as you weave through Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and Port Orleans Resorts. The feeling of seeing Disney buses, seeing Disney Springs, and hearing the Disney "buzz" around you when you golf is a one-of-a-kind experience. There were also cute Disney signs around hazards and at the beginning of holes. The tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers were in excellent condition. However, the rough and the greens had seen better days. Before playing, I had read that this course was having issues with disease over the last several months and had undergone rigorous overseeding to rectify the issue. I also think that the recent cold snap before our visit killed some of the vegetation around the course, and probably harmed the healing process of the greens. Knowing Disney and how awesome the staff were, I am sure that LBV will be in pristine condition soon. I would definitely play this place again for the experience.

It’s a great course, I really enjoyed the round. Too bad the 5 day freeze killed the grass around the fairway.

If it weren’t for the price I’d play here every day.

A beautiful course, was in great shape. Fast greens for February.
