Golfing at Walt Disney World

Golfing at WDW is really fun. You have courses for all levels of play to choose from. There are two mini-golf courses for youngsters and adults. Fantasia Gardens is the easier of the two. This is like a normal mini-golf course. The other is Fantasia Fairways and this course is really much tougher. There are sandtraps and hills all over the place (and remember the only club you have is a putter).

There is a par three course available for those who want a little more challenge and some more clubs to choose from.

If you are a full fledged golfer then go ahead and try one of the 5 championship golf courses that are located on property. We here at the geek have played all the course, except Lake Buena Vista. They were really scenic and challenging. The large courses are all championship level courses. There are several golf tournaments at the Walt Disney World resort each year (Men, Ladies, Seniors).

As of September 25, 2011 management of the WDW courses will transfer over to Arnold Palmer Golf. Not sure what this will mean so we just have to wait and see. To read the press release click here

The Geek's Suggestions
All these courses cost a lot of money and if you want to play golf a couple of times I would recommend checking into a Walt Disney World Vacation Plan. My family and I have used three of the plans and we think they are the best way to do these activities. On the plans you are pretty much free to do as much or as little as you want. Also on the plans that include golf your shoes, cart, clubs, and range balls are all included. If you plan to play one of the big courses be sure to make reservations as soon as possible and to make them for early morning. The Florida climate is miserable for golf in the afternoon and also you may get rained out later in the day. The mini-golf courses are really nice at night. They are open late so you can go there after the parks once the temperature has gone down. Also so you know as of now there are no direct busses to the mini-golfing. You have to take a bus to the Swan and walk across the street to the courses or drive yourself directly there.


Geek's Tip
If you are staying on property and have a tee time at one of the full golf course transportation is included. Talk to the resort guest serves (or bell hop) and they will help you get a taxi and give you a voucher for your transportation (it even includes the tip for the driver). Then after your round when you go to return your cart tell the attendant and they will give you a return voucher and call a taxi for you. If you let them know before you turn everything in by the time your ready to go your taxi is there waiting for you.
