Arnold Palmer Golf Management the Disney team are working to build on a Disney golf tradition that began with the vacation kingdom's opening in 1971. Highly regarded for its excellent course conditions, pace of play, service standards and player development, Arnold Palmer Golf Management and parent company Century Golf Partners maintain a portfolio of more than 70 courses nationwide, including about 30 private clubs.
The long-term alliance with Disney (through which Arnold Palmer Golf Management has operated, managed, maintained and promoted Disney's five courses since Sept. 25, 2011) calls for the golf legend to lend his vision to strategic and innovative design enhancements to the Disney courses. Palmer and his team are busy working on the master plan for those changes, which will materialize during the next three years.
The Walt Disney World courses include Disney's Palm and Magnolia Courses (both of which opened with the resort in 1971), Disney's Lake Buena Vista Course (near Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa), Disney's Osprey Ridge Course (scheduled to transition to Four Seasons Resort Orlando next summer as part of a new luxury resort slated to open by 2014) and Disney's Oak Trail Course (a nine-hole walking course). All five scenic courses are certified as Cooperative Wildlife Sanctuaries by Audubon International.
Arnold Palmer Golf Management's high regard for frequent players has created special perks for Disney Vacation Club Members, including a limited-time 50% discount off the price of a Disney Vacation Club Golf Badge. Available for purchase from May 1 - August 31, 2012, for $25 instead of the usual $50, the Disney Vacation Club Golf Badge enables a Member and as many as three Guests to enjoy significant discounts on their rounds (25% off for tee times before 10 a.m. and 40% off for tee times at or after 10 a.m.) and club rentals ($30 instead of the usual $45). Call (407) WDW-GOLF (407-939-4653) to reserve your tee time today! Golf badges can be purchased at the pro shop upon arrival for your tee time.
For another perk, head to the recently reopened Sand Trap Restaurant at Disney's Osprey Ridge Course. This casual, course-side restaurant, which now features a new menu of sandwiches, burgers, wraps and salads, offers Disney Vacation Club Members a 20% discount on food (excludes alcohol and gratuity).
