Another of Joe Lee designs, the Magnolia was built in 1970, and is the annual host to the final round of the PGA Tour's Disney Classic. It is the longest of Disney’s courses with wide and forgiving fairways, 12 holes with water and 94 bunkers. The course adjoins the Palm course just off the main drive into the Magic Kingdom, and is usually in excellent condition. The name is derived from the 1,500 or so magnolia trees scattered throughout the course. The 6th hole is home to a bunker that forms a Mickey Mouse shape. It's where the pros play in what used to be known as the Disney Classic, but not the best course in Orlando by any means.

Course is always in great shape. The people are very friendly and this is always a great value. We always include in our annual trip. Had a great time. The cold towels we got from one of the timers on the back 9 were wonderful!

All and all, I really liked the course. It was tough to play from the tips on a course like that with those conditions, both for my first round of the year and my first round at that particular course. I'll take an 89 and leave the 8 under pars to the pros. I can't wait to watch the tournament in November with my pictures and scorecard right beside me. I also thought the sounds of Disney world (train, music, people) really added to the course character.

Played here this week and the weather was hot and afternoon thunderstorms so play early. The course was in good shape but nothing special although the Mickey Mouse bunker on the 6 was a nice touch ( specially as i holed from it ) wild life galore from dear to alligators, and hawks. Next time, I'd play outside of Disney property

Not worth the money. Having played many courses in Maine, Hawaii {Poipu, Mauna Lani, Koolau, Princeville}, Florida {Metrowest}, this course is just average in my book. Played at the twilight rate of $89 and still did not think it was worth the money, even though the pros do play this course for the annual tournament
