Magnolia Golf Course
Course Par Value: 72
Course Yardage: 7516

The Magnolia is the longest of the Disney courses. Designed in classic TOUR-style, the wide fairways invite you to hit the ball, and hit it hard! But beware, 11 of the 18 holes boast water and 97 bunkers dot the landscape and guard sizeable, undulating greens.

Since December 1971, the Magnolia has been the final-round home of the Children's Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart. The course has entertained many of the worlds finest golfers, including Jack Nicklaus, whose final-round scores in 1971-73 of 68, 64 and 67 earned victories in the first three Disney tournaments.

Much has changed at the Magnolia, including the course record: PGA TOUR veteran Payne Stewart, playing in the third round of the Classic in 1990, blistered the Magnolia in 61 strokes. His nine birdies and one eagle set a standard on the Magnolia that may never be touched.

Like a lamb one day and a tiger the next, the Magnolia required Stewart to log a humbling 76 shots during the next afternoons final round, dropping him into a disappointing 21st place tie.

The course winds through 175 acres of thick Florida wetlands. It features 97 bunkers including the world famous "Mouse Trap" fronting the par 3 No. 6. Water comes into play on 11 holes. Six stately bridges carry players across the many creeks that cross the course.

In 1993, 23 years after opening, the Magnolia received a refreshing face-lift. Course architect Lee returned to redesign all 18 greens and the main putting green. The putting surfaces, which had lost their shape through years of routine maintenance, were restored to their original condition.

"The main thing we changed on the golf course was the elevation of the back of the greens," Lee said. "We have created spectator mounds on most holes for better viewing during golf tournaments."

The original Tifgreen/328 grass was replaced with Tifdwarf, a grass that Lee describes as "superior and faster."

Aside from the greens, Lee had teeing areas realigned to their original form. He also changed many of the tees used by women. With women making up such a large portion of the world's golfers, he said he is "trying to do a much better job with ladies tees."

"I think the guy who said this is one of the greatest golf complexes in the world would have to be right," Lee said. "I think what we have done here recently [reconstruction] may be better than when it was originally done."
