Like Fantasia Gardens, this Disney course features 36 holes of golf. Unlike Fantasia Gardens, both courses are similar and do not feature the ultra-tough, ultra-long holes seen on the Fantasia Fairways course. Instead, these courses both feature very similar obstacles, with the only difference being one has a summer theme and the other a winter theme. We only had time to play the winter themed one.

The winter course features various winter/north pole/Santa themed obstacles including a snow castle, pond hockey and ski runs. Several of the holes feature motion sensor-based events (a very cool addition) including one where your ball gets twisted up the North Pole (though it didn’t do much to lower your score). The course was also well maintained and the obstacles were in good shape (though the rubberized starting mats were strange and we bypassed them). The course itself plays very easy (both of us were well under par and had holes-in-one on 7 of the 18 holes). Many of the greens near the cup were funneled towards the cup, assisting those shots that were only a bit offline.

Being a Disney property the course was a bit more expensive that it warranted (though you do get ½ off the second round, any time during the day, at either of the Disney courses), but the overall play and atmosphere here was very good. We’d recommend visiting if you find yourself in the Orlando area.
