Par 72
Length 7516 yards
Slope 141
Rating 76.0

The 18-hole Magnolia Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL is a resort golf course that opened in 1971. Designed by Joe Lee and Rocky Roquemore, Magnolia Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort measures 7516 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 141 and a 76.0 USGA rating. The course features 5 sets of tees for different skill levels. Greens and fairways are bermuda grass.

Of all the Disney courses, the Magnolia supports a greater abundance of wildlife. At any given time, you're likely to see deer, osprey, alligators and turtles. A flock of wild turkeys has brought several tournaments to a standstill while they pecked along its fairways. The course features elevated tees and greens with wide and generous fairways graced by over 1,500 magnolia trees that bloom from late spring to mid-summer. Brightly colored crape myrtles and oleanders, along with beds of blue plumbego and seasonal flowers, add sparkle to an otherwise dense, natural forest.

5 Stars but pace has to be better...

Course was in great shape and I love the new holes on the back 9. However, we were 13 minutes ahead of pace at the turn and ended 23 minutes behind pace to finish the round, a total of 5 hours. We sat on the 16th hole tee box for 12 minutes waiting to tee off because the 4-some in front of us (all of whome rented clubs) had no self awareness. I'm all for growing the game, but you can't hit it 20 yards at a time and look in the woods for all 4 balls on every hole. The rangers were out and about, but nobody said a word. Pace alone would keep me from returning. Also, it's worth the $110 hot deal, but not worth $200+. If you are willing to pay $200 there are better options.

A good test of golf

The greens is what makes this course more difficult, slick and lots of slope.
Fairways are friendly, just have to watch where one hits the approach shots.
Certainly worth playing.

5 star course

I rarely give 5 star but Magnolia deserves it. There is no weed on fairway nor the greens. Fairway is maintained like home carpet. I can tell they spend lots of effort on the course. Course layout is okay, but ppl are here for fun, not here to get frustrated. I will definitely go back.

Beautiful Course

We liked it so much more than the Palm. The Palm’s Condition was near a $20 City Course. Magnolia was immaculate. We found it more challenging than the Palm as well.

Course was great overall

Course was great overall. The newly renovated holes are pretty good but still need some growing in. The par 4's on the new holes are a little longer than you'd expect from the white and yellow tees.
The little snack bar near the practice needs a new TV. That 24" antique that is there now is not conducive to watching the end of the PGA tour event after you round. TV's are cheap these days, they need to put a new 65" 4K "outside" TV in there.

Friendly Golf Course

Good facility, fairways were generous, not a lot t of water. Greens were the best I have played, very large.
Cart beverage person was difficult to find, we wanted to get a few drinks, the second time we saw her she just drove buy and did not stop as ask if we wanted anything. Beer would have been great on the 15th hole.
For the price we paid, we felt it was over valued at $230 US each.
Proshop was small and limited, looked for golf cap but all they had was adidas, I am a titlest guy. Last time there got my Disney Titlest Hat but not this time.
