Walt Disney World

I’m a beginning golfer, less than a year. My wife and I have played Oak Trail maybe a dozen times. I love the way it goes from 4 sort of warm-up holes to a long par 5 with two angles. I was able to carry the water on the par 5 7th, which I believe was my first time doing that and hitting the fairway. But my best shot ever came on the par 3 9th. Off the tee I ended up about 15 yards short and left of the green, but the pin was only 20 yards in. I made about a 3/4 swing with my sand wedge, and it plopped onto the green and rolled right into the hole. The course is always fun, and that was a great way to cap the day!

I’ve always enjoyed the Disney courses (especially the Palm) which are operated by the Palmer group. The Palm is in good shape with quick greens, lush tee boxes, and uniformly healthy fairways. However, for the price they charge (up to $150!) such conditions should be expected. According to the GPS, expected pace of play is around 4:20 which is reasonable for a weekend round. Our group was right on it even though we waited on a number of holes. One thing I appreciate about The Palm is that they have strategically placed restrooms/water stations that have ice/water dispensers unlike most courses that simply have unsanitary water fountains. Bottom line is if you don’t mind paying a premium for a round of golf, you won’t be disappointed with The Palm.

This course was in excellent condition. Greens run true and fairways plush.

Enjoyed the round even though the course was pretty wet after lots of rain recently. Really nice homes surrounding the course and only a few holes were cart path only.

The course was so wet it was cart path only on all holes. Balls plugged in the fairway regularly and I was splashed with mud just takin a normal shot several times.

No marshaling pace of play. We lost interest on the back 9 and we’re over half hour behind recommended pace of play Saw the course Marshall once who didn’t help out

The course was very wet from overnight rain. Cart path only which was understandable given the conditions but it certainly takes some of the enjoyment out of the round and slows down play.

A nice course. Greens were very slow. Layout is good.

It's a common complaint for me on Disney courses, but i really wish you had some combo tees, to give Lady golfers a choice of tee beds.

On Palm, LBV and Magnolia, the front tees are between 5100 to 5200 and the next tee bed is around 6000 yards. You then have 3 or 4 tee beds at 4-5 hundred yard intervals.

Basically the guys have a choice of 4 or 5 tee beds at 400-500 yard intervals, and the Ladies have 1, as 6000 yards is too far for most Ladies.
