Disney World adding golf to "Water Park Fun & More" pass

Walt Disney World is adding a golf option -- nine holes on the par 36 Oak Trail course -- to its "Water Park Fun & More" add-on to Magic Your Way tickets. The golf option also is being added as a free benefit to Disney World Premium Annual Passes.

The golf option requires reserved tee times at Oak Trail, a walking course designed by Ron Garl for the entire family, located adjacent to Shades of Green.

After a visitor buys a Magic Your Way ticket for 2-10 days, he can add various add-on options. The Water Park Fun & More add-on costs $50 per ticket for out-of-state visitors. Florida residents get a discount. Normally, green fees at Oak Trail run $38 for adults, and $19 for juniors, ages 17 and under.

The additional benefit is being put into the ticket package just a few days after Disney announced it would be closing the Pleasure Island nightclubs after Sept. 27, effectively eliminating that option from the Water Park Fun & More package and the Premium Annual Passes. However, one observer indicated that the golf addition might have less to do with replacing the Pleasure Island option than with creating sports and recreation options for the ticket packages. Other sports and recreation options might someday follow.

Oak Trail is near Disney's Magnolia and Palm golf courses. It plays 2,913 yards, featuring undulating target greens. Holes range from 132 yards to 517 years and include a double-dogleg par five that Disney pros regard as one of the more interesting and challenging among the 81 holes of golf found at Disney World.

That's NICE! Rlander & DS did Oak Trail on our last trip and enjoyed it.

That's a nice bonus! I don't golf but I went with a best friend to WDW who's Dad never entered a park the whole week we were there, he golfed the WHOLE time.

It must be really important to some people, cool to have that option.

Do they have club rentals? Is it easy for a solo duffer to join in to a larger group?

Soundgod · 07-01-2008

Are they going to give this to us premium annual passholders as well, or do we have to content ourselves with half priced mini golf?

mickeysgirlz · 07-01-2008

UM, I dunno answers to ANY of these QUESTIONS . . .

I got a google hit, and I know some people like to golf at WDW, so I thought I'd post it for you all.

If I find out more I will fill ya in!

OR if you find out more you can fill me in!

Rlander & DS were given a ticket voucher from WL (no cost) & they called a cab for them to and from the course. Now that is service!

My question isn't really important in the big scheme of things. I'll be given the answer by Disney in due course one way or the other. I've been on the Grand and Gold vacation plans in the past and they gave unlimited use of all recreation, and that included wave runners and parasailing at the Contemporary and golf on any of the 6 WDW courses, club rental included, and I never once went golfing. I did use the waverunners a couple times and really abused the Watermouse and Sea Raycer rentals by using them for a total of 6 hours during the week, often taking two (one for me and one for wife).

YES they do. Rlander & Son rented clubs. They were being especially nice and threw in balls, tees, & 2 golf bag rollie things. They even made special tags for my sons golf bag at home for free. This was all at Oak Trail. They got there really early in the morning.. and were the first ones on the coarse, so they got super lucky with the attention of the CM's.
