ORLANDO, Fla. -- Disney's Palm golf course, a Joe Lee design that has been ranked as one of America's Top 75 resort courses, is this week's featured property at OrlandoGolf.com, the leading site for anyone planning to play golf in Orlando.
The natural beauty of the Florida woodlands makes the Palm Course at Walt Disney World® Resort one of America's premier resort destinations. One of Disney's toughest golf courses, the Palm features sparkling lakes and tropical sand in a scenic golf landscape populated with strategically placed palms.
The layout features many tree-lined fairways, plus elevated greens and tees. It has more than its share of water and sand hazards, with nine water holes and 94 strategically placed bunkers. Disney's Palm Course measures 6,957 yards from the blue tees and carries a course rating of 73.0 and a slope rating of 133. The Palm's par-4 18th hole has been rated the fourth-toughest hole on the PGA Tour.
In a recent review of Disney's Palm Course, Brandon Tucker wrote that Joe Lee created "a shot-maker's delight, offering plenty of picture-perfect scenery to boot."
"The Palm course fills an interesting niche among the four golf courses at Disney World. It's a PGA Tour-caliber golf course, but perhaps a bit less so than the next-door Magnolia. The Palm is a little more secluded and picturesque than the Magnolia, but not to the extent of Tom Fazio's Osprey Ridge course. And for higher handicappers, the Palm is shorter and easier than the aforementioned pair, but not as friendly as Disney's Lake Buena Vista course."
