Disney to Temporarily Close Lake Buena Vista Golf Course for 2026 Renovation

The project targets greens, bunkers, drainage, tee boxes to improve play after Florida downpours.

Overview

  • Disney Golf announced Tuesday that Lake Buena Vista will shut down in late spring 2026 for a multi‑month overhaul with reopening planned for early fall.
  • The renovation centers on rebuilding all greens with new contours and elevations to boost drainage and refine how putts roll.
  • Crews will install bunker drainage, refresh green‑side bunkers and chipping areas, upgrade irrigation near greens, and enhance several tee boxes.
  • Magnolia, Palm, and the 9‑hole Oak Trail courses will remain open for play, and guests with reservations are advised to call 407‑WDW‑GOLF for updates or alternatives.
  • Opened in 1972, the 6,700‑yard par‑72 course has hosted PGA, LPGA, and USGA events, so the work aims to modernize conditions without losing the course’s long‑standing character.
