I'm looking to book some tee times for my visit, and am wondering if anyone on here has played any of the Disney courses, or has an opinion on which one is the best. All comments/suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!!!

Thanks guys.
Well, I had actually decided on Magnolia, but I called to book a tee time and they said it was going down for rehab in three days.
So, unless they finish the rehab early, I won't be able to play there. I was thinking of Osprey Ridge, which I understand is mostly woods, or Lake Buena Vista. BUT, Lake Buena Vista is partly through the old Disney Institute, which is deserted, so I wasn't reallt in a hurry to run and play there. Arrrrgh!:lol:
Anyone else have any advice or experience? Help.:lookaroun

Well MSUSA, From your responce you want a cource with some atmosphere, But I would suggest that you play each cource once and see which one fits your skill level, since there all diffrent
If not all, most of the cources are championship calibre, a few designed by award winning pros and designers.
Have fun FORE!!

As you can see from my user ID I have a great love for Disney Golf. I have played all the courses at WDW at least once and here is a quick take (BTW and to help you evaluate my take, I'm a 10 handicapper)
LBV- Yes it does wind thru the old DI, and OKW. I played it in April and the construction didn't really bother me. Reminds me a lot of the courses I ususlly play in VA Beach, narrow fairways and houses/condos along them. It is a pretty course and I really love the Island green on the 7th.
EP - Very tough to read greens and lots of trouble all around. Demands a well placed tee shot. Very challenging but fun.
Ospry - A very typical Pete Dye design has lots of water (on nine of the 18 ). Lots of bunkers, I mean lots. I think it is the toughest but YMMV. Lots of elevation changes.
Palm- A good course to introduce you to WDW golf. A very straightforward course, what you see is what you get. Some water, #18 approach shot to the green is a real challenge. You see some of the fairways from the road. The first course I ever palyed at WDW. It was closed in April for irrigration upgrades so I didn't get a chance to play it.
Magnolia- Very Long, the longest of all. Played it twice in April. Greens are fun to read also, but a great course, my favorite but again YMMV.
Oak Trail - An often overlooked 9 hole course that sometimes parallels Mag. Good intro to WDW Golf. Very peaceful and a good course for walking for a late evening round. Don't rent an electric cart you won't need it. It doesn't get the attention the other courses receive as far as grounds maintenance but generally is in good shape. Lots of family play, the green fees are around $35. I always see a lot of Dad's and sons out. No tee times are really needed. It has some hidden gems that are just as much fun as the "big courses".
Hope this helps and hit em straight!
All right! We've got a threesome; now we need just one more to round it out. Anyone want to join us for a round?Originally posted by RickEff

Did you ever answer Scott as to when WE tee off?:wave:

Ah, yes I did skip that one didn't I.
We actually have 3 people, my wife, my dad, and me, so there's only room for one more. Looks like one of you is screwed!:lol:
