food IS a theme park
Another reopening is coming to Disney World!
Lake Buena Vista Golf Course
We’ve been waiting for the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course to reopen, and that day is coming up soon. Grab your golf clubs and let’s hit the greens.
We know we don’t talk about it a lot, but a lot of people come to Disney World not just for the theme parks and great food (which is basically our reasons for visiting), but for something else: golf.

Disney World’s three championship golf courses and nine-hole walking layout bring tons of people to the resort so they can get their golf in Disney fashion for an experience that might be just a bit more magical than other golf courses around the world. Well, Disney was recently recognized for its golf courses because the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) has chosen Disney World Golf as its 2026 Resort Golf Course of the Year.
Did you know that you can golf at Walt Disney World?
Disney’s Palm & Magnolia Golf Course
You can! Disney World has three golf courses; Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course, Disney’s Palm Golf Course, and Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. Disney offers classes to young golfers, and DVC members can save pretty big on golf lessons as well. Back in April, we saw Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course close for refurbishment, and now we have a look at how the course will be when it opens back up!
While the parks are where most people are focused during their vacation, there’s actually MUCH more to do in Disney World than ride rides and eat snacks (though we could do that all day).

For example, did you know that Disney World is actually home to FULL-SIZED golf courses? We’re talking the full 18 holes! Adding a visit to the golf course during your trip can be a great way to take a break from the parks and add a little bit of Disney to an activity that you enjoy at home. But, soon one golf course will be getting some TLC resulting in a LONG closure!
At the “Happiest Place on Turf,” the new year has teed off with some discounts!

Walt Disney World Golf has been upping its game lately: we’ve seen some cool new technology, and classes for kids are on their way. And now, Disney Vacation Club members and Walt Disney World Resort guests can both enjoy special savings at Disney’s four golf courses: Disney’s Palm, Disney’s Magnolia, Disney’s Lake Buena Vista, and Disney’s Oak Trail.
Walt Disney World Golf has just introduced a new innovation that’s giving us some serious Tomorrowland vibes!

Guests looking to hit the links on vacation can visit any of the several golf courses in Disney World. And now, a new technology makes things even easier for golfers, so they can save their energy for park hopping!
With the current closure of Walt Disney World and the furlough of all non-essential Disney park employees, you might be wondering what IS going on in Disney World right now?
