| Lake Buena Vista Golf Course |
| 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 characterised by small,
slightly elevated, well-bunkered greens that demand accurate
shot-making. |
|
| Course Information: 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
Lee -- an "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 |
| 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. |
|
| Course Information: 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 recognised 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. |

| Eagle
Pines Golf Course |
| Low, "dish-shaped" fairways
and vast sand beds give this Pete Dye design a unique look
and an equally unique challenge. This low-profile course
follows the natural contours of the land and in place of
grass rough, treacherous pine straw and sand await errant
shots. |
|
| Course Information: The
transition areas are common between the tee boxes and fairways,
which maintain proper drainage into the natural wetland areas
that are prevalent throughout the course -- in fact, 16 holes
boast water. Eagle Pines features Pete Dye's signature
undulating greens, which are well guarded by strategically
placed bunkers. Eagle Pines is a visually intimidating
course, but a complete joy to play. |

| Magnolia
Golf Course |
| The Magnolia is the longest of the
Disney courses. Designed in classic PGA style, the wide fairways
invite you to hit the ball and hit it hard! But beware --
11 of the 18 holes boast water and 97 bunkers dot the landscape
and guard sizeable, undulating greens. |
|
| Course Information: This
beautifully manicured Joe Lee design is aptly named for its
more than 1,500 magnolia trees. The Magnolia has all of the
earmarks of a golfer's paradise -- elevated tees and greens,
rolling terrain and a very special hazard on the 6th hole that
forms a Mickey Mouse silhouette. |

| Palm
Golf Course |
| The natural beauty of the Florida woodlands
makes the Palm not only a pleasure to play, but also one
of Disney's toughest courses. |
|
| Course Information: Rated
one of "America's Top 75 Resort Courses", this Joe
Lee design offers many tree-lined fairways, plus elevated greens
and tees and it features more than its share of water and sand
with nine water holes and 94 bunkers. The Palm is considered
by many pros the most difficult of the tournament courses.
You should save a sprinkle of pixie dust for the 18th -- it's
been rated the fourth-toughest hole on the PGA TOUR. |
