Golf Courses
Lake Buena Vista Golf Course
Architects: Joe Lee & Rocky Roquemore Description:
Styled in a classic country club setting, the Lake Buena Vista course meanders through dense pine forests as well as the Resort's residential areas and is characterized by small, slightly elevated, well-bunkered greens that demand accurate shot-making.
Add an island green on the 7th, and it all adds up to a golf experience that truly reflects the philosophy of the course's designer, Joe Leean "exciting challenge, yet fun to play." This course is one of a select few that have hosted a PGA Tour event, an LPGA Tour event, and a USGA event.

Osprey Ridge Golf Course
Architect: Tom FazioDescription:
The beautiful tropical wilderness surrounding Osprey Ridge may create a serene atmosphere, but it will challenge the player from the moment the first tee shot is hit.
This Tom Fazio design contrasts with its counterpart, Eagle Pines, by offering dramatically elevated greens and tees, nine water holes, and more than 70 strategically placed bunkers throughout the course. Rolling fairways cut through the forests of scrub oaks, pine, palmetto, cypress, and bay trees, while high mounds frame the medium to large greens. Osprey Ridge has been recognized as one of the best courses in Florida by "Golf Digest's" "Places to Play," which ranks the best public and resort golf courses in the U.S.
