Great course

Great course in excellent condition. Pace of play was a little slow at times but overall not bad especially considering it was a holiday. Staff is very friendly and rental clubs were nice.

Lots of Divots

Beautiful course have played it before but not as impressed this time. Sooo many divots and even though they don't repair them looks like they haven't been picked up for many days. Expected a bit more from Disney property. Kind of like finding garbage on Main Street in Disney World. Slightly Over priced.

Lovely Course

Strikes a great balance of excellent quality and reasonably challenging. If you miss the fairway, you lose your ball. Very high quality of maintenance and lovely staff. Good walking course.

The Palm is my favorite course at Disney World. Greens were in great shape and the raps were all raked and fluffy. Beautiful golf course and lots of fun to play.

Disney Palm 5 stars

Great golf course with a fair price. Top grade Taylor Made rentals. They could use a new restaurant for after golf. Arnie’s locker is available for viewing at no charge.

Played this course many times over the years but felt it wasn’t in its best condition on this occasion.
Hopefully things will improve into the spring.

Not Magical

The course was in horrible condition and shouldn’t have been open to public. I understand that it rained the previous few days, but we should have been warned when paying in excess of $170. I even asked when checking in about the course conditions and I was literally lied to. The grass on the tee box was higher than the face of my driver and the course was under water. We voiced our concerns after the round, and we were basically told to buzz off. The staff was very rude. What irritated me even more is that the manager couldn’t even bother take his sun glasses off (while inside the club house) to speak to me like a paying customer. As a native Floridian, I will never spend another dollar at Disney’s golf courses. Wasn’t very magical.

Slow Pace

Disney Palms is one of 3 courses in the Disney golf world. Parking is easy, and checking in at the clubhouse was a breeze. The price was great for what you get, however be careful - the booking here says you get a meal included... you don't get anything and the employees here argue with customers over it. If it wasn't for the starter, Tim, we probably would have made a bigger deal about it but Tim was amazing and easily the best employee at the course (he's the only reason they got 3 stars for staff, they would've gotten 1 without him). The course is nice, taken care of but a bit overwatered. Carts were really nice and have GPS/bluetooth. Pace of play was pretty bad, and after the first few holes, we never saw a marshal coming around keeping people going. We waited about 4-6 minutes per hole once we hit the back 9. Overall it's a nice course, but Orlando has plenty of other ones with nicer staff and better pace.

Enjoyable round….. But

Played with my elder father as part of an annual golf trip to Orlando. Start with the good…. Cart attendant upon arrival was great, pro shop staff were kind and hospitable, starter was a very personal veteran who we engaged in a nice conversation prior to our round and who was visible throughout the day. Course was in good condition and was fair for my Father playing the forward tees. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in good condition and the course was laid out well with large landing areas. Not a lot of trouble to be had if you are hitting the ball decently.. the bad…. Pace of play. As we waited on every tee block with 3 groups on every hole. We started our day at 1pm and finished 18 in the dark after a. 5 hour plus round. We played on a Sunday so hopefully through the week the course spreads out the pairings appropriately..

Good day!

Orlando is a yearly destination for a golf trip with my Father. First time at the Palm and we were impressed with the course layout and impeccable staff. From check in to first tee we were treated with class leaving a remarkable first impression. Course was very playable for a 12 handicap and an elderly Father using the forward tees to navigate. Fairways, tee blocks were in good condition along with the greens that ran slower than expected. Overall worthy of the premium price paid for the round.
