Walt Disney World Golf has announced plans to close Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course this Spring to allow for renovations to take place before a Fall reopening. While an exact closing date was not announced beyond “late Spring”, tee times are unavailable to book online starting Monday, May 4th. Here’s the announcement!
Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course Closing for Renovations
On the heels of the recent significant updates at Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course, this year, notable upgrades are planned at Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course to enhance and improve course playability and conditioning for your future enjoyment.
The current plans, which are anticipated to run from late Spring into the early Fall time frame, are expected to include:
- The greens will be fully renovated with newly reimagined contouring and elevations
- Green-side bunker and chipping area updates to improve playability
- Upgraded irrigation systems around the greens to improve and better maintain their conditions and those of the surrounding chipping areas
- New drainage systems for many bunkers to reduce water retention and improve playing conditions after rains
- Enhancements to several teeing grounds
As the classic country-club style golf course, which winds through and around three of the Walt Disney World Resort hotel locations, Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course provides amazing views of resort villas, palmettos, forests, and sparkling lakes. It has always been unique in its character, providing something of a more intimate golf experience.
Disney’s Lake Buena Vista golf course is a 6,700-yard par 72 course that has hosted the PGA Tour, the LPGA Tour and USGA events.
Disney’s Palm and Magnolia golf courses remain open, as does the 9-hole Disney’s Oak Trail golf course.
