Disney's Palm Golf Course is one of the premier golf destinations within Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Designed by Joe Lee and opened in 1971, this 18-hole championship course is set among towering palm trees and features water hazards on several holes. The course offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels, with wide fairways and well-maintained greens. The signature hole is the par-3 8th, which requires a shot over water to a green surrounded by bunkers. The clubhouse provides rental equipment, a pro shop, and dining options.
