Magic Environment to an affordable price

Disney knows how to operate a golf course

Great course, a lot very well designed holes, good for both low, mid and higher handicap
Might want to bring some extra golf balls, the water can eat you up

Really disappointed in the conditions at Disney Palm. This is not what I've come to expect from a Disney golf course.
