Overview
- Walt Disney World opened reservations on Tuesday for tee times starting October 23, 2026, when the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course will resume play after a months-long closure.
- Disney closed the course in May and says crews completed renovations to greens with new contouring and elevations, greenside bunkers and chipping areas, upgraded irrigation systems, and new bunker drainage.
- On reopening day, on-site services including the pro shop, club and cart rentals, and Chip ’n’ Dale’s Cafe are scheduled to be available for guests.
- Magnolia, Palm, and Oak Trail courses remained open during the Lake Buena Vista work, and Magnolia received its own recent redesign that included the character-themed Grumpy Gauntlet.
- The reopening comes as Walt Disney World Golf was named the 2026 NGCOA Resort Course of the Year, a recognition that highlights the resort’s broader push to refresh course infrastructure and guest offerings.
