Walt Disney World Golf was just named the 2026 Resort Course of the Year by The National Golf Course Owners Association! This is a pretty significant recognition. The NGCOA is a non-profit organization and the leading authority on the business of golf course ownership and management. They represent thousands of golf courses across the United States.

“Walt Disney World Golf represents the pinnacle of resort-level golf experiences, establishing a benchmark for service, design, and industry leadership,” said the President of the NGCOA Board of Directors, Cathy Harbin. “The APGM team members at Walt Disney World_® Resort are passionate about our industry, providing first-class experiences and inspiring others. It is a privilege to recognize their dedication to golf and shine a spotlight on their achievements.”

Walt Disney World Golf has three championship courses and a nine-hole walking layout. The course will be recognized at NGCOA’s Golf Business Conference 2026. The conference will take place from January 19th to the 21st, in Orlando.

“This prestigious award, naming Walt Disney World Golf as Resort Course of the Year, affirms the cohesiveness that exists when the Walt Disney World Resort entrusts a management team dedicated to operational excellence,” said Chief Operating Officer of Century Golf Partners, Doug How. “The success of APGM is rooted in our commitment to quality, consistency, and integrity in all we do. This ensures that every operational detail, from agronomy to our guest experience, meets the highest standards, and we are incredibly honored by this recognition from the NGCOA.”

Disney World Golf can sometimes get overlooked because of all the things that you can do at Disney World. Avid golfers are most likely aware of the course and may have even been there. If you haven’t been before, this might be your sign to check it out!
