2009 #3 Best New Course You Can Play, Golf Magazine

Golf Magazine Review:  A heavy hitter in the hospitality industry delivers its first golf course — and it's an impeccable complement to the brand. Rees Jones sculpted a superb resort golf course — not terribly demanding but with gigantic bunkers and water in play for nearly the entire back nine. It's all the Florida golf you'd want when the wind blows.

Following the closure of its Pete Dye-designed Eagle Pines course in the summer of 2007, Disney will welcome a new addition this fall, when a new Rees Jones creation debuts.

Technically, the Waldorf Astoria Golf Club is not a Disney property, but it's surrounded on three sides by the Disney Resort. The course will serve guests of two new hotels, the Waldorf Astoria Orlando and the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek.
