About this course

The Palm Course, carved into the landscape of Disney's Lake Buena Vista, bears the imprimatur of Joe Lee's masterful design, a hallmark of mid-century course architecture. This is Florida golf at its most playable, favoring a strategic game over brute force, though ample length exists to challenge longer hitters. Its fairways, lined with native palms and strategically placed water hazards, demand thoughtful club selection and accurate shot placement. Doglegs and undulating greens provide a diverse test, ensuring no two rounds feel the same. While it has never hosted a major professional championship, The Palm's consistent conditioning and engaging layout have earned it a strong regional reputation as a course for all player levels. Local amateur events frequent the grounds, and its accessibility attracts vacationers seeking a relaxed yet rewarding golf experience. Beyond the golf, the resort atmosphere permeates every aspect of the club. Stories abound of impromptu putting contests among families and celebratory rounds after park visits. The Palm offers a uniquely Disney approach to the game, blending leisure and sport in a way few other courses can match. A round here is as much about the camaraderie and surrounding magic as it is about the score.
