Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando is best known for its theme parks, water parks and entertainment centers such as Pleasure Island and Disney Marketplace.  But Disney also offers some of the best championship golf opportunities that you can find anywhere in Florida.

With four different championship courses, there are plenty of challenging options for golfers of any level.

At Osprey Ridge, a serene and elegant wilderness course designed by Tom Fazio allows you to explore dramatic fairways that cut through forests of scrub oak, pine, palmetto and cypress trees. 

Lake Buena Vista is a classic country club style course with a meandering layout that winds its way through pastel villas, pine forests and sparkling lakes.  You’ll tee off next to boats and canals and enjoy views of an enchanting lighthouse.

Experience the natural beauty of Florida’s woodlands on the Palm course.  This majestic layout is both one of the state’s toughest layouts and a true pleasure to play.  Featuring crystal lakes, tropical sand and strategically placed palms, this course is home to the first rounds of the PGA Tour’s Children’s Miracle Network Classic.

Home to the final rounds of the PGA tournament, the Magnolia course offers beautifully manicured links filled with an abundance of fragrant magnolias.  Elevated tees, spacious greens and tranquil water hazards provide a setting fit for championship golf.

Regardless of which course you choose, you can enjoy the benefits of GPS technology.  Each cart is fitted with a GPS that offers a full color monitor to provide detailed 3D views of each hole, precise yardage to the flagstick, professional tips and course strategy and more.

Novice golfers and families can enjoy a more modest golf experience at the delightful and pleasurable Oak Trail course.  This 9-hole walking course offers undulating greens and holes ranging from 132 to 517 yards from the back tees.  It’s a perfect course for the developing golfer or those looking to sneak in a quick nine.
