Here are a few courses I would recommend, I'll give minutes drive from WDW.
Orange County National ( 15 minutes)

Mystic Dunes ( 10 minutes)

For any of these I would use Stand by golf to see what the best deal is. If you mention a few of these courses the tele sales staff will iknow the level of course you're looking for. You can also tell them the drive time you are prepared to go from Disney.
If he decides to play on Disney here are my views of their courses. All are fantastic championship standard courses ( as are the off site ones above) but each have their different challanges for players. IMHO it's pretty pointless picking a course that penalises your particular weakness. Here's a link to Disney's golf

In my order of preference
1) Osprey Ridge . Not too tight, but requires decent length off the tee to give you a chance to the excellent greens. IMHO the most scenic of the Disney courses, I've seen plenty of deer, gators,eagles, ospreys and other wildlife on this and it's sister course Eagle Pines.
2) Eagle Pines. A nightmare if you're short off the tee or have a tendancy to "top" your tee shot as almost every teeshot you have to clear a very large "bunker" type set up that's scrub sand covered with the pine needles the course gets it's name from, if you get into this stuff it's hard to get out in just one shot. If you're long off the tee, but a little wayward, this is a good choice as once you clear the scrub you get good sized landing areas. Again a nice scenic course.
3) Magnolia is pretty long with lots of carries over water, it's one of the courses Disney use on their pro tournements, although I think that has more to do with it's ability to take seating areas and non playing guests than a reflection on it's merits above my first two choices. Not a course for any hydrophobics or rabies sufferers LOL
4) Palm Another course with plenty of water to carry, although not as long as Magnolia. Reasonably open and inviting.
5) Lake Buenna Vista . I think it's the shortest of Disney's 18 hole courses. It winds it's way through the OKW DVC resort. Has some nice holes, including a feature "Island green" par 3. Because it's through a resort a lot of the tee shorts favour straight players and length isn't as much of a pre-requisite as it is on the other Disney courses. It's a personal thing, I guess, but if I'm playing golf I'd rather not be wandering past people's windows and worry about sliding my teeshot into their morning cup of cocoa
As you can see from the prices of the Disney courses their twilight rates are MUCH cheaper than regular time, this is exagerated at the moment because afternooon storms and the humidity make late afternoons a less popular choice than at other times of year. The "price slice" of $45 after 10.00 seem a good deal though.
A couple of cheaper courses that are worth considering are Orange Lake Country club ( 10 minutes drive)
http://www.orangelake.com/tour_our_resort/orange_lake_golf.html . If there is anyone else who may fancy trying a game of golf, but are not very experienced. Orange lake has an excellent 9 hole par 3 walking course, Legends walk is the name of this course. With 5 different tee boxes it's easy to give a non regular golfer a decent chance of winning a few holes by letting them tee off on different tee boxes to the regular player.
and Kissimmee golf club
http://www.kissgolfclub.com/ . At $50 a round I don't think you can go far wrong
