In mid-August, after playing the Palms Course at Disney, (L-R) AAGD Reporter John Perry with former Disney cast member and Negro Baseball League Hall of Famer Bill Hopson, along with AAGD writer Otis Windham, and Bill Hopson Jr.,(Atlanta, Ga. resident)
“Number 9 at the Palm is a par 4 that will challenge the best of golfers of all levels. Walt Disney World’s three frequently played courses, the Palm, Magnolia, and Lake Buena Vista used to be home to the PGA Tour Walt Disney World Golf Classic, from 1971-2012. Arnold Palmer redesigned the Palm in 2013. By any standard, they’re all three well maintained courses, but my personal favorite is the Palm,” said Perry.
Located at 1950 W. Magnolia Palm Dr., Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830, Disney’s Palm Golf Course underwent a complete redesign by the Arnold Palmer Design Company in Summer 2013. The extensive renovation included entirely new green complexes, reshaped tees, and a modernized bunker design, giving this historic course a fresh, updated look. These significant changes have greatly enhanced the course, and we are thrilled with the results.
This 18-hole championship course features shimmering lakes, tropical sands, palm trees, and sloping greens. With 9 holes containing water hazards and 59 bunkers, Disney’s Palm Golf Course offers plenty of challenges for both novices and seasoned pros.
