Walt Disney World

I recently organized a golf weekend at Lake Buena Vista for a friend’s birthday — it was our group’s first time playing a Disney course, and unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming and frustrating.

While the fairways were in fair condition, the greens were in noticeably poor shape — patchy, uneven, and simply not maintained to the level expected from a Disney property. For a resort known for its high standards, the state of the greens was disappointing and frankly embarrassing given the occasion.

The problems didn’t end there. The golf cart we were assigned broke down right as we entered the first fairway. We were then informed that the course had been having GPS issues all day — yet carts were still being sent out with the GPS systems enabled, even though staff couldn’t confirm whether the problems were resolved. This avoidable oversight caused delays in our round and forced us to rush to avoid holding up the group behind us — not the relaxing golf experience we were expecting.

To top it off, the course runs alongside the waterway, and the constant, unnecessary blaring of horns from the water taxis was incredibly irritating. Even when it was clear there was no traffic coming in the opposite direction, the horns kept sounding, disrupting the flow and adding to an already frustrating day.

For what should have been a special and memorable introduction to Disney Golf, LBV fell short in multiple areas. I hope these issues are addressed soon, because the potential is there — but the current experience simply doesn’t live up to the Disney name.

Very fun course. Great condition. Free range balls to warm up is a plus. Nice cart. We had some first time golfers in front of us that slowed it down. Heard that happens a lot. Also check the weather if playing in the afternoon in Florida.

love the course greens in good condition and the speed.

Played this course a lot they was seeding the greens but very patchy greens but still fast needs some work to catch up but no doubt will be ready in a month or two.

We had a great time playing here during our recent trip to Orlando! The course layout is excellent, with well-placed tees that make for an enjoyable and challenging round. The staff is incredibly friendly, always welcoming and helpful, which really enhances the experience.

However, the condition of the greens left something to be desired, especially in the summertime. Some greens were dry, bumpy, and had patches of brown, dying grass, which affected playability. The overall upkeep of the facility felt a bit so-so, but it didn’t overshadow the fun we had.

Despite the greens, we love coming back here every time we visit Orlando. With a little TLC, this course could easily be a top-tier destination. Highly recommend for the layout and great staff!

This course was crowded and the pace of play was slow. But the course is in nice shape, It has a great layout. We caught a hot deal on Golf Now so we got good value for the price. Will head back again.

The course was in ok condition. I’ve played better for the price. The gps in the carts where horrible you would make a shot to the front of the green because that’s what the cart said the flag was at only to get to the green to find out the flag was in the back. The new holes make no sense it’s like you played 1-13 on one course then left and played somewhere else for 4 holes then finished back on the course you started on for 18. Also there is a massive parking problem they wanted me to park right behind the 18th green so my truck would get hit by a 10 yard long approach shot so needless to say it took awhile to find a parking spot. Very disappointing

Great course! Enjoyed and will definitely come back. Pace of play was a little weird with some people who are new to golf getting on course lessons. Little warm to just be standing and waiting for swing coaching :) lol

Great course. Fairways & Greens were well maintained.

Will definitely play here again.

The course was good as expected at the price and where your playing but the gps in the carts had wrong pin placements making me think I hit good shot just to be on the wrong part of the green was frustrating. Don’t get me wrong I love the gps when it’s in the carts but update the pins please. Also I did not like the new holes they do not match the rest of the course it was like I was on a different course just weird.

First time playing a Disney Course . Even though it was cart path only ( which we understood due to the recent rains ) the fairway and greens were in very good condition. Kudos to the staff for a job well done . Looking forward to trying one of the other Disney courses real soon
