Disney’s Palm Golf Course
Walt Disney World's Golf Courses and Annual Events

Disney World's toughest golf course

Compliments of WDW
The par 3 No. 16 is depicted as one of the prettiest holes on Disney’s Palm course. Disney pros caution golfers not to get overcome with the scenery or the classic Joe Lee-design elevated green, though, warning that a club too short can leave you on the rocks … or wet. The Palm course, which is tested annually during the PGA TOUR FUNAI Classic, is among five championship 18-hole courses available to guests at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

The natural beauty of Florida woodlands makes the Palm not only a pleasure to play but also one of Walt Disney World's toughest. Rated one of Golf Digest's "Top 25 Resort Courses," this Joe Lee course measures 6,957 yards from the back tees, 6,461 from the middle and 5,398 from the front. With greens recently rebuilt from the drainage basin up, this course is perhaps better than new. Save a sprinkle of pixie dust for No. 18 -- it's been rated as high as fourth toughest on the PGA TOUR.
