My first time playing this course after considerable research. Michelle and I were looking for…read moresomething close to Lake Buena Vista where we were staying and this location seemed appealing because of the positive reviews, a personal recommendation and because it has a driving range. We arrived 45 minutes before the tee time so we could get in some range time and hit some putts. The check-in with Ryan was NOT a positive experience. The same Ryan I spoke to on the phone when I called almost 3 weeks before. I told him I was playing 9 holes SOLO and would have a rider, he confirmed there was a Vet discount. The rate he quoted worked but when I checked in he told me there was a $45.00 rider fee. I told him that was not mentioned when I called ahead of time. He said 'well, the person you spoke to should have told you'. I told him 'YOU were that person and I have my notes if you want to look at them. By now everyone in the Pro Shop is looking and I could tell Michelle was getting uncomfortable so I just paid it. Then we go to get a cart and we can't find an attendant. I start to put my clubs on a cart and then someone says 'you can't use that cart'. The young man proceeds to start taking my clubs off with no explanation. Then he puts them on another cart and Michelle and I are just looking at each other in disbelief. We finally get it all sorted and head to the drive range which is adjacent to the Starter. When I asked about the range on the phone, it was never mentioned you can only hit off mats and NO drivers allowed. We got paired up with a son and mother from Columbia, SC who had played there before. The course is very nice, lots of bunkers and water. In good condition for mid-February and the pace of play was good. I would not return, there are too many other better options and the Marriott Grande Vista in Orlando is a better choice IMO. After my return home, I got in contact with the GM and explained the unpleasant experience in the Pro Shop and got a refund for the over charge.

Conditions are moderate, but good for the price and greens are in above average conditions (7/10) especially compared to many other non-resort courses in Orlando. Staff is always friendly. Good practice facilities. Fair prices. Love getting an Italian sausage sandwich with peppers at the turn. Only course I know of with gas golf carts? Kinda weird but they GO when you want them to. The only real downside of this course is pace of play. I have never had a quick round here. While I always have a great time, a 5 hour round is common. This seems to be mostly down to a mix of golfers of all levels and styles playing here.

The young lady answered there were no such discounts available. While playing with my two partners, who checked in after me, discussion of cost came up. They too asked if there were any discounts.

After hearing this, I became angry inside and tried to let it go, however it never left my mind during the round. I asked my friends if they were playing a joke on me, being Christian men, they said no.

I recently learned about the sport of foot golf and - as a (below average) soccer player in my…read moreyouth - I was intrigued. So, when my fiance and I learned that Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course had a foot golf course available, we hurried to make reservations! My fiance played "regular" golf while I played foot golf. This is not normally permitted, but since the cast member over the telephone provided us with incorrect information, we were allowed to combine the two during our visit (Disney's top rate with their customer service!). Since the state of Florida is still in the middle of phased re-opening during the COVID-19 pandemic, all cast members wore masks and alerted us that the water fountains were not in service during our visit. Disney's Oak trail is a "walking" (no golf carts allowed) 9-hole course (they accommodate 18 holes during tournaments) with "regular" golf holes denoted with blue flags and foot golf holes denoted with orange flags. The cast member at the beginning of the course explained the layout of the course, where to find each tee off point for each form of golf and provided us with maps, scorecards and cute little pencils. Since my fiance and I are Platinum Disney annual pass holders, we didn't have to pay to play, but ordinarily, the cost (between 04/06/2020 - 07/02/2020) is $25 USD per adult and between $15 USD and $19 USD for anyone under 18. Between 07/03/2020 and 10/01/2020, the cost will be between $19 USD and $29 USD per adult and $15 USD for anyone under 18. My fiance and I had a great time and definitely play to return. We saw many families and people of all ages coming out to the course and most of them were apparently regular foot golf aficionados that frequent the course. So, if you're curious about foot golf or just want to practice your "regular" golf skills, give Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course a try.

The rangers will come out to tell you to play faster but ignore the slow players in front of you. This course also caters to players who have never played before so the odds of getting hit by an errant shot are extremely high. The course itself is also poorly maintained. There is no sand in the bunkers and there is no difference between the rough and the fairway.

The bunkers feel more like dirt rather than sand and they have a lot of weeds in them. The tee greens are in rough shape and many of the greens are less than ideal.

The golf carts do not have GPS. But they do have a usb port for charging things. The golf carts don't have any tees or towels included like at other courses. We didn't see the drink cart at all on the front 9 at all. Some of the holes are challenging. I'd say that this place could rate higher if they did a few small things like: trash cans at the start of each hole, cleaner port-a-potty's, including tees and towels on the golf carts, better maintained tee boxes and greens, rakes in the bunkers.

FORE!!!! The Happiest Place on Turf - Disney's Magnolia Golf Course…read more Just wrapped up a magical round at Disney's Magnolia Golf Course, and let me tell you -- it's a pixie-dusted paradise for any Disney-loving golfer. Right across from the Polynesian Tower and practically neighbors with Magic Kingdom, this course is a dream come true. The Course: It's stunning. Every hole offers scenic views, towering trees, and greens that roll like butter -- but don't let the charm fool you. Mickey didn't skip the challenge when designing this layout. Magnolia brings the magic and the muscle. They've also added a new back-nine challenge called the "Grumpy Gauntlet" (holes 14-18), a stretch that features: * Two beast-mode par 5s * A slick par 3 * A long, demanding par 4 to close it all out Think of it as the final boss battle of Disney golf. Tee Time & Cast Member Rate: We booked the Cast Member rate of $45, which needs to be secured two days in advance. I lucked out with a 6:30 AM tee time -- yes, it's still 80+ degrees at sunrise in Florida -- but totally worth it to avoid the midday melt. You can also grab a $30 afternoon rate, but prepare for the heatwave. I got there around 6:00 AM, warmed up with a bucket of range balls (included!), and practiced a few putts before teeing off. That little warm-up made all the difference. Magical Moment: On the 12th hole, I flushed a 7-iron that landed about 5 feet from the pin -- drained the birdie putt and felt like I won the Masters. Just one of those shots that sticks with you! The Vibe & Service: * Got paired with a friendly twosome -- pace of play was smooth and steady * The team running the course (Arnold Palmer Golf Management) may not be official Disney Cast Members, but their service is Mickey Mouse-level excellent * Everyone was helpful, warm, and fully in the Disney spirit ‍ Bonus Disney Golf Nerd Info: Disney Golf has more to explore: * Palm Course - Beautiful and slightly more forgiving * Lake Buena Vista - Tighter layout, lots of water * Oak Trail - Walking-only 9-hole course with tiny greens and a tough Amen Corner-style 3-hole stretch I've been playing Disney's courses for years and years and years, and they just keep getting better. Magnolia is the crown jewel -- and with the new "Grumpy Gauntlet" stretch, it'll test your game and your stamina. Final Verdict: If you're a golfer with even the slightest love for Disney, you need to play Magnolia. Between the location, the atmosphere, the layout, and that special Disney touch -- it's golf magic from start to finish. ‍
