The Greatest Green Ever Played pays homage to the famed U.S. Open success of the amateur Francis Ouimet in 1913, as documented by Walt Disney Pictures in the award-winning movie, The Greatest Game Ever Played. (2005)
Launched in 2024, The Greatest Green Ever Played is home to an 18-hole putting course that is open to all guests! Located adjacent to the Disney’s Magnolia, Palm, and Oak Trail Golf Courses Clubhouse, on the grounds of the Shades of Green® Resort, this putting course is a complimentary experience for those that have their own putter and golf ball. Guests do not need a reservation to play a golf course that day in order to visit The Greatest Green Ever Played. Any Guest may visit and enjoy the experience, and then perhaps visit our pro shop to purchase exclusive Walt Disney World® Golf merchandise, or dine at Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Deli after completing the putting course.
Adjacent to the first hole you will find a conveniently located box containing scorecards and pencils, a perfect opportunity for some friendly competition out on the green! The hole locations are typically changed on a weekly basis to create a new challenge, and each hole length and level of difficulty are altered almost on a daily basis, therefore, no two rounds of putting are ever the same! Navigating this putting green requires the right doses of both skill and luck, as its significant elevation changes will wreak havoc with your golf ball. Open 7 days each week from sunrise to sunset, don’t miss out on this fun adventure the next time you visit Walt Disney World® Resort!
