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.

It is never our intention for anyone to feel alienated, and would like to further understand what transpired and how it could have been handled differently in order for the experience to be more inclusive.

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.

Great course but slow pace

We loved the course and it was in good shape. It was kind of soggy so we were cart path only which made for a little less enjoyable round. Pace of play was very slow and we didn’t see any marshalls,, we would’ve been over 5hrs if we didn’t have to quit after 15. Would love to play this one again on drier conditions and better pace.

Great Course

Great course. Sadly no one was assisting with pace of play which made us miss the last 4 holes due so sunlight. We were backed up by hole 11 with no one enforcing, and groups ahead of us taking their sweet time. Wish we could have finished.

Disney

If it weren’t a Disney course it would be half the price. Nice condition. Definitely a resort course. No real danger in play. Very wide fairways

Expensive for what you get

Played with my son Greens were really slow. Poor drainage in areas made it muddy on the nice white golf shoes. At least 3 greens were in very bad shape. Played crooked cat and pathetic lake which were in tournament condition for $40 cheaper. My son stated he didn’t feel very Disney here.

Good Shape

Very good conditions but several spots extremely soaked. They really don’t come into play but you do have to walk through them. Greens rolled great. Fairways were plush. Just overly wet in a few spots.
