It's a wonderful course! They play the tour there for 1 day (along with the other 2 courses).

The service there is beyond nice...it is in the spirit of everything Disney...so you can easily get spoiled.

I'll be in Disneyworld in January and might go to Lake Buena Vista too. Is it expensive?

I don't usually bother with posts in other areas but am glad you posted here.
I'm in Disney (from the UK) for Xmas with my grandchildren and family and am interested in getting a game. I won't have any gear with me. Do they hire clubs, shoes etc. What are the greenfees like ?

Re: Lake Buenna Vista Fla

I’ve played the Eagle Pines course. As was said, everything is first rate. Rental clubs are available, premium and regular. The regular are like Callaway X-18 or similar, graphite, reg flex. Premium are typically steel, stiff flex. If you’re in Orlando for a convention or similar event, look for a free club rental promotional code in your convention information (either online or in your registration information). Saved me a club rental fee. If you’re not there for a convention, you may still be able to find a code from some other convention in town at that time. Search the ‘net. Rental shoes are available. Also, if you are staying at a "Disney" hotel, any of them, they will give you a voucher for a free taxi ride, including tip, from the hotel to the course, and back.
Plenty of info at this link, including pricing:

As kbp said it's best to check the link he posted. We are playing on 12- 21-06 & our green fees, including cart & practice range are $89 for each person as we are staying at a Disney Resort . Not a bad deal IMO.

Re: Lake Buenna Vista Fla

Its a great course, you should be well looked after, try and get a twilight deal if you can, its usually half the price and you can still get round well before it gets dark if you get a tee time around 2.00pm. We managed to get quite a few free tees and divot repair tools when we went earlier this year, dont forget to take some $$ to tip with, they usually clean your clubs and shoes after the round, cheeky buggers also cleaned mine before I teed off.

Thanks to all who replied.
usmale, Did you find this course to be a good course for beginners(less than 1 year playing)? I realize it is a challenging course but do you thinkit is too much for those of us who are still shooting 100+ (as we are)?

The course is a challange, the lad I played with playes to 24, I wont tell you what he actually shot though but it was more than a 24. We both really enjoyed it, which is why we went, Dont expect to shoot your best score, just go and have fun.

That sounds like a very fair price.

How much is club rental?

$55.00 which I feel is exhorbitant!

$10.00 to rent shoes.
