Walt Disney World in Florida is, as we all know, the premier family resort in Florida; it's just for the kids, right? Wrong. There are four Golf Courses at Walt Disney World in Florida, three of them are on the PGA Tour. There is also a fifth layout, a par-36 practice course. So, what does that mean? Well, if you're a dedicated golfer, it means you can fulfill all of your family's dreams along with several of your own too. You don’t have to stay at the resort to play but, obviously, it’s better if you do.
There are four Walt Disney World Golf Courses. The Disney's Palm and Magnolia courses are both are located adjacent to Disney's Polynesian Resort; The Osprey Ridge course is at the Bonnet Creek Golf Club, and at the Lake Buena Vista course is close to Downtown Disney and the Saratoga Spring Resort.
For tee times, call 407-939-4653 between 6:00 am and 8:00 pm daily. A guarantee with a major credit card is required on all advance reservations. Cancellation must be made 48 hours in advance. The price includes the greens fee and cart rental but does not include applicable taxes.
Proper dress code is required on all Disney World Golf Courses: for men polo shirts with a collar or turtleneck shirts, Bermuda length shorts or slacks. Women's dress requirements include a polo shirt with collar or a suitable blouse or shirt with or without a collar, skirt, slacks, Bermuda shorts.
If you are staying at one of the Walt Disney World Resorts, Disney will provide complimentary transportation to the golf courses. Simply contact the bell services the night before and let them know the course and tee time. Disney Bell services will give you a voucher for the cab fare and will arrange a taxi for you.

Where to Stay:
At one time or another, I have stayed at all of the Disney World Resort properties listed below. They all offer value for money, at least in terms of Walt Disney World Resorts, which tend to cost a little more than comparable accommodations off-property. All of them offer easy access to the four Walt Disney World Golf Courses, so it makes sense to stay on property if you can.:
- Compare Prices for Holiday Inn Downtown Disney Resort Area: Budget
- Compare Prices for Disney's Coronado Springs Resort: Mid Range
- Compare Prices for Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa: High-end
- Compare Prices for Disney's Wilderness Lodge : High-end
- Compare Prices for Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa : Mid-range
