Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course Designed as a classic Tour style layout by Joe Lee, the Magnolia Golf Course is the longest of the Walt Disney World, playing at 7,560 yards from the Classic tees during tournaments, 7,141 yards from green tees and 6,684 from the white tees for daily play. Named for the Magnolia trees that line the fairways and elevated tees, it has undergone itsmost extensive redesign ever. Holes 14 through 17 are being reconfigured and all 18 greens are being substantially enhanced. Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course Designed in 1972 by Joe Lee, this course near Disney Springs winds through several of the resort properties, including Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and Disney’s Old Key West Resort. The course plays between 5,177 and 6,745 yards and includes an island green on the par-3 seventh hole and a Mickey Mouse bunker that was added to the rear of the ninth green in 2018. Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course A nine-hole walking course, Disney’s OakTrail is well-suited for families and casual golfers. This course, originally only six holes and known as “The Wee Course”, was expanded in the 1990s by Ron Garl who designed the fifth, sixth and seventh holes to feature water hazards around a canal and pond. The par-36 layout can be played from junior tees (1,713 yards) or close to 3,000 yards (including a 517-yard par-5) from the white tees. Michigan Golf Journal
