With enhancements made throughout the course and new amenities, golfers can expect a mystical experience inspired by Disney movies. This iconic course is now open for players looking for a blend of golf and Disney magic.

Exciting Changes Unveiled at Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course

Orlando, Florida – If you’re an avid golfer or simply someone who loves a good game in a picturesque setting, you’ll want to know about the brand new features at Walt Disney World’s Magnolia Golf Course. After undergoing an extensive renovation over several years, the course is now back and better than ever, welcoming players to its lush, beautiful greens.

A Course with a Rich History

Opened in 1971, this beloved course has been home to prestigious PGA Tour events, making it a staple for both amateur and professional golfers. These newly unveiled renovations represent the most significant enhancements to the course in over 50 years, promising a breathtaking experience for all who visit.

Introducing Grumpy’s Gauntlet

Perhaps the most thrilling addition to the Magnolia Course is the revamped back nine holes, specifically holes 14 through 17, which have been creatively rebranded as Grumpy’s Gauntlet. Touted as the hardest consecutive four golf holes in Central Florida, Grumpy’s Gauntlet is a true test of skill that includes tight doglegs, formidable bunkers, and challenging water hazards. If you’re looking for a challenge, this might just be your new favorite spot!

Among these challenging four is the infamous 17th hole, a par three that stretches a whopping 235 yards from the back tees. Golfers will need to navigate water hazards on both sides—talk about a nerve-wracking approach!

A Course that Tells a Story

One of the fun aspects of the Magnolia Course is how every hole is themed after a beloved Disney movie! Each hole comes with a unique name and features quotes that resonate with the magic of both Walt Disney and Arnold Palmer. For example, hole No. 6 is named The Mouse Trap, while hole No. 15 is known as The Dinglehopper, nodding to the classic film *The Little Mermaid*. These creative touches add a dash of whimsy to the golfing experience.

New Putting Green & Enhancements

But wait, there’s more! Golfers can also enjoy a brand-new 18-hole putting green, delightfully named The Greatest Green Ever Played. This area not only serves as a fantastic warm-up zone but also offers a fun challenge for both kids and adults. With changing hole locations, everyone will have the chance to test their putting skills.

The renovations also include brand-new teeing grounds and redesigned bunkers and greens, enhancing the overall playability and beauty of the course. Whether you are a lifelong golfer or someone picking up clubs for the first time, there’s something for everyone at the revamped Magnolia Golf Course.
