Another solid round at Disney LBV

Had a hot deal through GolfNow with a 12:20 tee time for four. Got out on time and played a 4 hour round rarely waiting on a tee or having a group behind.
Course continues to be in good condition with one green exception. Always look to play here when I can and when the price is right.
Staff also very helpful and friendly.

Another great round at Disney LBV

Got a hot deal and was able to play at noon. Course was great as seen before. We were paired up with a father/son who were fun to play with. As far as course conditions, greens were in great shape, speedy and fairly flat. Only one green was in rough shape.
Ranger could have been better as he wanted us to keep up with the group ahead of us even though we started more than a hole behind. We caught them next hole and had a big back on the last hole for some reason, otherwise would have played in 4 hours.
We will go back.

Move Duffers Along or Aside

Too often they allow newbie players who only hit the ball 20 FEEt - whenever they do hit it.

A Little Disappointed

Played LBV at Disney today for first time while family is here on a Disney Vacation. First. It’s Disney. So the customer service is outstanding. Every worker I encountered was awesome. Also, since it’s Disney it’s over priced and costs too much. The course was in good shape. But it’s not $100 plus Course in my opinion. Again, it was in good shape. (Not great). The greens were smooth and fast except for 15 which was in really bad shape. Fairways were really good. A little thin around some greens. But the layout is kinda blah. I don’t really remember one hole that stands out. A lot do straight holes. Just not a ton of character to me. Again. It’s a nice course. But being Disney it’s overpriced. I’m glad I did it once. But probably won’t do it again.

Ok choice

Course is nice but kind of blah. A lot of holes look alike but it was in good shape and the greens are nice. Staff was very nice. A bit expensive for what you get. Very noisy and busy around 1st couple of holes from Disney activities.

Overprice considering the quality of the course

Course is in average condition but green fee is high. I played other courses in the area in better shape for half of the price.

DO NOT PLAY HERE

I am a disabled golfer and was treated very poorly at Lake Buena Vista. Even if you are a fully abled golfer avoid Disney golf for people like me. People with disabilities like to be treated with dignity and respect and not overpay for a course that makes golf impossible for someone like me. This could have easily been avoided.

Slow play

Loved the course but foursome in front of us was very slow and did not know how to play ready golf. Our round took a little over 4 1/2 hours but should have been 4 hours. Waited on every hole. Ranger couldn’t even move they along.

Great Course

I believe the first time I played this course was in 1992. I have not missed a single year of playing there since. The course is always in Great shape. I will be returning to Fl after the first of the year and have 3 rounds planned toward the end of Feb. 2023.

Disney does not disappoint

Disney comes through with beautiful turf and course conditions. Add to a perfect course and weather, paying $50 for a hot deal made it even more ideal.

Great Staff/Really Good Course

Played with family, during family reunion. The staff were fantastic, especially the greeting staff and course Marshals. Pace if play was good, had to wait for some shots, but played in 4.5 hours.
