I have played the Magnolia and the Palm courses, but I haven't played the others. Little bit about me, I'm from altitude (Colorado), so when I play at sea-level I'm a plinker with a solid short game. I usually score in mid 80s to low 90's. Where shall I play?

Osprey has a number of really dramatic holes, mostly at the end of the round - Pines is pretty much the same most of the way through, with lots of water and long waste bunkers abounding.

Originally Posted By CMM1 I recall Magnolia being a little more forgiving off the tee than the Palm - but they were both pretty similar (lots of water, pretty standard type bunkering). I would rank Magnolia, Palm and Osprey all about the same, with Eagle Pines coming in 4th. Haven't played LBV.

The Palm gave me that PGA feel at the corner where there are 3 holes in one open setting by the media towers. However, the Mag had some absolutely stunning views and great holes. Especially the Mickey Mouse bunker. I played really well at the Mag. The Palm was nice, and I didnt' play too badly, but I enjoyed the Mag more, I believe. However, that could be since it was the first time playing at WDW.
