Of all the golf courses at Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista Golf Course is the one that will make you feel the most like you're in the heart of a bustling resort town. It's set in the shadows of the Disney Institute and Downtown Disney. A series of canals filled with tour boats and water taxis pass by on several holes, filled with passengers who serve as a temporary gallery.
The majority of Lake Buena Vista's front nine weaves through the Old Key West Resort, while the back side takes on a bit more of a wooded, natural look, with more tree-lined holes than the front side.
In 2007, Lake Buena Vista was the latest of the four Disney courses to receive a facelift, which included laser-leveling of tees, a new bunker and the installment of TifEagle Bermuda greens.
