    DVC Golf Discounts

    If you can get it Osprey is a must play. We will be playing twice during our trip at the end of October, but Osprey is not available that week for some reason. I think the Fazio design is very "playable". It can be difficult with a lot of water in play, but where in Floridia isn't water in...

    Question about Golf

    I was just on the Disney golf site and looked at the transportation link. It says vouchers to and from the golf courses are available from "selected" Disney hotels. It really doesn't say which if any of the properties are excluded, I would call Disney golf to check on your hotel to make sure...

    DVC Golf Discounts

    We always travel to WDW with other golfers and on our last golf membership period we put 32 rounds on the card. That really made the $50.00 a good investment!

    THV & Golfers ?

    I know they do this for people staying on property between rounds and last Feb I was staying at SSR and dropped my clubs off at the Pro shop before I went to my room because it was convenient and we were playing at LBV the following morninng. Since they make the club transfers daily, I would...

    OKW lovers--Tell me not to stay somewhere else

    OH my, some of the best people watching is one of the golf course villas at OKW. One year we were at OKW when Tiger played in the PGA event at Disney for the first time. They were still playing part of the event on LBV and we watched him play through. Another year, we had a GV that over...

    Experienced DVCers - please help me decide when to go

    We have been several times the week after Thanksgiving and the first two weeks of December. We have had a wonderful time and the crowds were managable. From a DVC standpoint, this is a very popular time, so I'd make my reservations at 11 months at my home resort. The likelyhood of getting...

    October Food, Wine, and Golf Trip ... a few questions

    I think you will find that golf at any time of the day in Orlando in October will be very pleasant. It should be in the mid to high 70's to the high 80's and perfect golfing weather. Of course there is always the possibility of a cold or hot snap where the temps will get 10 degrees lower or...

    Does Disney have a driving Range??? (golf)

    The range is across the canal and close to the 1st tee at the LBV course. The Pro Shop is essentially right underneath the Turf Club restaurant. The one disappointment with the Disney golf experience DW and I have had was with the golf lessons. Granted this was 16 years ago and things...

    Golf Course

    The other thing affecting the courses in mid October is over seeding. Each fall a winter grass is reseeded on all of the courses. During this process the courses are shut down for several days for the seed to take hold and after they are reopened, they are usually cart path only for carts due...

    What's your shortest amount of time b/w trips?

    DW and her sister went 9/21/08, DW and another couple and I went 1/16/09, I went with some golfing buddies 2/21/09 and DW and I have a GV 10/25 with two other couples. That's getting some use out of the APs, the golf membership and the Tables in Wonderland card!

    Dvc golf

    There is no charge for the taxi ride. The taxi voucher includes the taxi and driver tip. I'm not sure if the funds come from the golf courses or the resort, all I know is that I don't have to pay for the ride!

    Dvc golf

    From my experience, not so at SSR and OKW. We have been told several times that it is just to and from the bell stand at the check in location. The voucher has to be picked up at the bell stand anyhow. We have had mixed success on the return trip with convincing the drivers to drop us at our...

    What is the most amount of points you ever lost?

    We were going to loose 30 points in January this year so we grabbed another couple and got a 2 br at OKW for MKL weekend and used those suckers up (oh, and a few more). Got a nice long weekend out of the snow and didn't loose points. This was the first time we have even been close to loosing any.

    OKW, Are there any disadvantages to staying in Miller's Road?

    We were in 22 in Januray. The view off of the balcony was the 6th fairway on the Lake Buena Vista course. We watched folks take their shots over the water to the 6th green. Lots of fun watching that. We didn't notice any bus noise where we were.

    Our first dvc vacation... the good and the bad.

    Actually it was probably not "swiped". The card with the internet information on it states that you can take the cable with you for a $10.00 charge. If it was gone when you got there, apparently mousekeeping didn't replace it. You might want to check your bill to make sure you didn't get...
