Disney's Palm Golf Course Est. 1971

Co-host to the PGA Tour's annual visit to Walt Disney World, the Palm course is a layout that roams through three quite distinctive environments. The first few holes start out in front of the new Shades of Green Resort (for military personnel) and initially follow the busy Floridian Way; there's the possibility of even more traffic noise coming from the nearby race car circuit. The testing, water protected par-4 6th hole takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world and connects you with a much more natural and wooded section of the course. The final section of the layout, commencing at the doglegging par-4 13th is the most memorable. Played in a more open environment, you will be confronted by almost as much water as there is fairway. Among many superb holes on this closing stretch, the par-5 14th and par-3 16th will both test your golfing nerve, with water a serious threat from tee to green on these holes. Taking its name from the liberal sprinkling of palm trees around the couse, this is another of the really enjoyable layouts at Walt Disney World, especially when it gets into its quieter back-nine stride.
