Golfers will be able to play the 14-hole course in Orlando, Fla. at a discounted rate while the finishing touches are applied to the remainder of the holes, which will be available for play next year. Holes #1 through #14 will have: new teeing grounds with overseeded Bermuda grass; reimagined greenside and fairway bunkers; and newly recontoured Bermuda grass greens that offer fast and true putting surfaces.
Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course will be reopening for play on Dec. 12 as a 14-hole course while the finishing touches are still being applied to the remainder of the holes, which will be available for play in 2023, www.wdwmagic.com reported.
Holes #1 through #14 will have: new teeing grounds with overseeded Bermuda grass; reimagined greenside and fairway bunkers; and newly recontoured Bermuda grass greens that offer fast and true putting surfaces.
During this time, golfers can get a 33% discount off their applicable greens fee rate, which will be applied at the time of check-in, www.wdwmagic.com reported.
Golfers who wish to play a full 18-hole round should consider the nearby Disney’s Palm or Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course.
These course updates to holes 14 through 17 have been designed and overseen by Ken Baker, who has extensive design experience internationally and is currently the head of golf course design at One Club Limited, www.wdwmagic.com reported.
Each of the four holes are anticipated to be reimagined primarily as follows:
• Hole 14 – Currently a par 5, will become a par 4, with a new green location;
• Hole 15 – Currently a par 3, will shift location and become a long par 5, dogleg to the right;
• Hole 16 – Will shift location and remain a par 4, but will now become a dogleg to the left; and
• Hole 17 – Currently a par 4, will become a par 3, with new tee box locations.
Holes 16 and 17 will be connected with a new wooden bridge through the forest, www.wdwmagic.com reported. There will be several new fairway and greenside bunkers engineered to accommodate the shifting hole locations, and a selection of new teeing grounds suited to test each level of player. The changes to the holes will retain the par 72 traditional nature of the golf course.
