Rated
as one of "America's Top 75 Resort Courses," this Joe
Lee design offers many tree-lined fairways and features more than
its share of trouble including nine water holes and 94 bunkers.
Each year the Palm hosts the National Car Rental Golf Classic®
at Walt Disney World Resort and is considered by many pros the most
difficult of the Disney tournament courses. Watch out for the 18th
-- it's been rated the fourth-toughest hole on the PGA TOUR.

Course Reviews
MALCOLM HOLDEN SAYS...
Course was in good shape for the time of year 1/26. Greens and
fairways were in great shape. The only problem we found was
that if noise is a problem for your game dont play, there were
horns and theme park noises thru-out the course. I would still
go back you can hit the park if its not to late
JT SAYS...
I can see why the pros consider this one of the most difficult
courses on the circuit...between all the traffic that seems
to be driving thru the course,the screaming of kids from nearby
attractions,and the constrction taking place all around the
property,I considered this one of the most annoying rounds of
my life! It's like trying to play a round in the middle of MAGIC
KINGDOM. A ripoff of your hard earned $$$$ as far as I'm concerned.
