Disney Golf and Foot Golf

Tee Off in Mickey’s Backyard

If you’re a golf enthusiast (or just curious), Shades of Green is a dream come true. Nestled between two world-class PGA courses, the resort is perfectly positioned for easy access to some of Disney’s most scenic and challenging greens. And with military-exclusive discounts, it’s more affordable than you might think.

On-Site Courses

Guests at Shades of Green have direct access to two of Disney’s premier golf courses — just steps from the resort:

🏌️ Disney’s Palm Golf Course
Par 72 | 6,870 yards
Redesigned by Arnold Palmer Design, this course is known for its beauty, bunkers, and lakes.

🌴 Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course
Par 72 | 7,516 yards
Recently reimagined with a Mickey-shaped bunker and a legendary stretch called Grumpy’s Gauntlet (holes 14–17), this course is as fun as it is challenging.

Both courses offer a 15% military discount** on standard tee times and are surrounded by Florida’s natural wildlife and stunning scenery.

More Disney Golf Options

🏌️ Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
Par 36 | 9-hole walking course
This course is family-friendly, certified as a Wildlife Sanctuary, and ideal for beginners or casual players. Plus, it’s where you’ll find FootGolf — a fun soccer-golf hybrid perfect for groups and kids.

🏌️ Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course
Par 72 | 6,745 yards
While not directly accessible from Shades of Green, this beautiful course is nearby and offers another great option for those looking to expand their game.

⛳ Just for Fun: Mini Golf & Putting

If traditional golf isn’t your thing (it’s not ours either—yet!), don’t worry! There are still plenty of ways to enjoy the greens without ever swinging a real club.

Our family has loved visiting the miniature golf courses on property. Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland are both whimsical, creative, and good for lots of laughs. Whether you’re navigating Santa’s snowy summer course or trying not to get splashed by dancing hippos, it’s pure Disney fun. No golf skills required—just a sense of humor and maybe a little friendly competition!
