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.

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.

Beautiful Course-Love It!!

Perfect Disney course. Would be 5 stars all around except for the construction that affects 16-18 & cost. Construction wasn’t terrible due to the fact Disney had rangers out there to help you know where to go and provide distances etc. Value is four stars only. It is hard to justify paying $200 for a round…but more than worth the hot deal money we paid!!

The Carts don't work well

Magnolia is a great course but the GPS for the carts is terrible. I had to go through four (Yes, 4). Despite being all wheels on the cart path, two carts would not go forward. I had to back down several hundred feet to escape the "You are in a restricted area." limits. Plus one replacement had a nonworking yardage system. The guys on the course were courteous, but when I reported the problem in the clubhouse they very unDisney like brushed me off.
