About
The 18-hole Palm 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, Palm Course at Walt Disney World Golf Resort measures 6870 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 131 and a 73.7 USGA rating. The course features 4 sets of tees for different skill levels. Greens and fairways are bermuda grass.
The natural Florida woodlands provide a stunning backdrop to one of America's premier resort courses. Architect, Joe Lee, designed the 6,870-yard Palm with elevated tees and greens. The key ingredient, of course, was the Florida palm and he made good use of nearly every variety for aesthetic and strategic purposes. Its fairways are crafted through a pine forest of mature, natural woodlands that includes moss-dappled oak, maple and cypress trees. Palmetto scrub fills the forest floor. It boasts of more than its share of water and sand with nine water holes and 94 bunkers.
This is a perfect choice for everything from a casual round to a large group outing.

Never tired of Disney courses!
Palm in good condition and challenging for fairly good golfers. Everything about the place gives a good experience overall. Probably a little overpriced if you pay full whack but excellent value at $84.
Happiest Place on Turf
Definitely the happiest place on turf. This was my first time playing a Disney resort course and it was fantastic. I played decent and the course was challenging but can be enjoyed by all skill levels. Scenery was beautiful and layout was very cool. I especially liked the back nine holes 11-18. Tucked away and really cool layout. Course was in great shape and while I am not used to paying over $100 for a round of golf, I felt like the rate was good for the conditions and service I received. Would recommend playing and look forward to playing other courses, including the Palm, again next year.
Pace
4:45 min round, people that can't hit further that 100 yards, shouldn't play from the blue.
Country club feel with Disney service
Such a great course. Back 9 was very challenging for me. Lost balls into the water and into the swamp. Great service from the moment you arrive. Sand was a little firmer than I would have liked. Tee boxes were all in great shape. Great carts with GPS. Beverage carts visit often and have great prices, much better than in the parks. Highly recommend!
Disney Golf Adventure
Better than your average resort course with some great holes to provide the challenge your vacation needs. Price for February is steep but conditions were high quality. I look forward to playing the other course one day to provide a full review of Disney’s Golf options.
Really nice
Never played Palm. Really nice layout. Staff efficient and fried. Conditions very good. Greens need to fill in on some holes but it is winter.
Better than the snow!
Great day at the Palm course. Our 3some is a mix of avid golfer, and a not so much. Played 3 different tee boxes and we all had a great time. Nice that a member joined our group and he was very helpful and fun to play with.
Would totally recommend. Pace of play 4 hours 5 minutes.
Broken cart again
For the second timw, my cart broke at hole 3, the radar went berzek. Had to walk ::::(((
Should get a sort of credit
Mr
Great golf course . The experience exceeded expectations! The golf course was in great shape and the golf staff were awesome. I will be back.
Palm
Great value for money paid. Some of the greens in rough shape need to be rolled.
