Disneyworld may be every child’s (and child-at-heart’s) fairy tale dream come true kind of place but the completely grown-up golf loving human beings may find their own fantasy-to-reality golf vacation paradise hereabouts. And that is at Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Course. It is not as pixie-dust glittery as the place for kids, but sure does have its own way of appealing to the golfers, albeit less glittery and flashy.
Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Course is a Joe Lee design that could easily be described as fun and exciting and challenging. And it is – all 6,819 yards of it. It plays for a par of 72, with four sets of tees to 
choose from, perfect to delight more golfers regardless of their handicap levels. As much as they are visual treats, the signature Florida features of palmettos and pines and sparkling lakes and straight-out-of-a-Disney-movie pastel-colored villas are playing the role of hazards. Bunkered greens here are well elevated and small – as is the whole golf course which is small and tight – but with surprisingly wide and huge fairways. This undeniable beauty and excellence in layout quality is the reason why golfers are not the only ones drawn to this course; even the stars have come down on this golf vacation destination.
Well, course star ratings that is. Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Course has 4 out of 5 stars from Golf Digest Magazine. And the services and amenities are those fitting even for the royals in all those well-loved Disney classics. That’s a promise of a happy-ending to every golf trip right there.
Just like the Grand Cypress New Course, these nines are also Jack Nicklaus creations. The South and North, the older of the three, all share the same characteristics of having large mounds, terraced fairways, shaped bunkers, and generous landing areas. The newer East course is more forgiving and more generous, which, when played with either the South of the North nines, would perfectly contrast the tightness of the latter. These courses which, apparently, vary in length according to nine-on-nine combo, does not mind the length or strength of a golfer’s shot. What matters most in playing the 
bunkers have made it so. And whilst it does not claim to be a St Andrew’s replica, it brings the feel of the Old Course through the stone walls, winding creeks and a stone bridge to complete the look. And all these features on very wide fairways, with truly fast greens add to the attitude of this golf course. And a golf course as excellent as this requires for each golfer to be as excellent and ready to take on its hazards and obstacles – many of which are hidden. Thus the

This course brings to Florida the glorious links-style layout of the British Isles’ courses, as well as the fast, hard pacing of the game. Florida comes in the form of water hazards. And the beautiful views innate in Orlando, of course. This combination makes for games that are unique, interesting, and very challenging. No wonder this has the highest rating in all of Orlando golf courses, at 76.3, with a slope rating of 143. And what completes the

The front nine goes back to the starter house, giving golfers the freedom to end their round right there, or move on to a more challenging game towards the 18th. The features here are virtually the same with those in its sibling courses, only more forgiving. Rolling terrain, wooded areas, undulating greens – almost the same but not quite; but equally challenging, fun and memorable no less. The course not only brings a traditional flair in its features; it brings back the good ol’ happy days of
