Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course undergoing most extensive redesign in its history

Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course is undergoing its most extensive redesign, Disney has announced.

As one of the original golf courses to open at the Walt Disney World Resort in 1971, the redesign will bring a new, modern feel to the classic course.

The redesign of the famed golf course will be led by Ken Baker, the head golf course designer at One Club Limited, and will reconfigure finishing holes No. 14, 15, 16 and 17 while enhancing the greens of the remaining holes. With the redesign already underway, golfers can expect the new-look Magnolia course to reopen later this year.

The four finishing holes will be reimagined as follows:

Hole 14 – Currently a par 5, but is becoming a par 4 with a new green location.

Hole 15 – Currently a par 3, but is shifting locations and becoming a long par 5 with a dogleg to the right.

Hole 16 – Shifting locations and will remain a par 4, but will now have a dogleg to the left.

Hole 17 – Currently a par 4, but is becoming a par 3 with new tee box locations.

These are the Magnolia course’s biggest upgrades since 2015, and in addition to the updated holes, there will even be a newly-constructed cart bridge added to connect holes 16 and 17 through the forest, creating picturesque views for golfers to take in as they enjoy the course’s new upgrades.
