Orlando
Disney's Magnolia / Palm
Disney resort public golf
Disney golf is competent, convenient, and not the reason to fly to Orlando. Use it when the group is already in the Disney orbit. Skip it when the trip is golf-first and the tee sheet has better options.

The take
Disney golf is competent, convenient, and not the reason to fly to Orlando. Use it when the group is already in the Disney orbit. Skip it when the trip is golf-first and the tee sheet has better options.
Best for
Disney-resort groups and family/golf hybrids
Watch out
Brand value can exceed golf value
How to play it
Fine if Disney matters. Otherwise, choose OCN or Grand Cypress.

What a treat to play?!?! We got through 16 holes and played the last two in the dark but with enough vision to see that grumpies gauntlet is awesome!! I highly recommend do the entire putting course on the practice green as it’s a great prep for what on the course. Cart gps give

The course was beautiful, the staff were amazing. The reason I give 2 stars and wont be back, cost almost 400 for two golfers, and 65 for a set of rental clubs, so altogether almost 500 with tax. For that 500 we were paired with father and son. The son was rude, heckling every ba

Keep exploring Orlando
Other courses in the same trip.
Must play
Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge - Championship Course
Bay Hill is the Orlando headline because it has actual tournament gravity.
Strong play
Orange County National - Panther Lake
Panther Lake is one of the smartest Orlando anchors because it is good, accessible, and paired with Crooked Cat.
Strong play
Orange County National - Crooked Cat
Crooked Cat is the other half of why OCN matters.
Strong play
ChampionsGate - International Course
International is useful and sometimes very good for the right group.
Strong play
ChampionsGate - National Course
National is the calmer resort companion.
Strong play
Reunion - Palmer Course
The Palmer course is the fun Reunion round.
Strong play
Reunion - Watson Course
Watson is the more tactical Reunion play.
Strong play
Reunion - Nicklaus Course
Nicklaus is the toughest Reunion course and should be sequenced accordingly.
Strong play
Shingle Creek Golf Club
Shingle Creek is the clean convenience play.
Strong play
Grand Cypress - New Course
The New Course is Orlando's best "wait, this is actually interesting" round.
Strong play
Grand Cypress - North/South/East
The original 27 holes are useful because they make Grand Cypress a real golf base rather than a one-course novelty.
Strong play
Mission Inn - El Campeon
El Campeon is the sleeper for people who think Orlando has no old golf character.
