Fantasia Gardens
The Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf complex is a miniature golf course at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, United States. Located across from the Swan and Dolphin resorts, it has two 18-hole courses themed after the movie Fantasia and opened on May 20, 1996. Together with Walt Disney World's other miniature golf venue, Winter Summerland, around 450,000 rounds of golf are played each year. Golf Magazine ranked Fantasia Gardens as the best miniature golf course in Florida in 2024.
- Fantasia Gardens, the easier and more child-friendly of the two, features characters and objects from the movie integrated in each hole.
- Fantasia Fairways, the more difficult of the two, is designed with hazards of a real golf course such as sand traps and rough terrain, and has a par of 72 (the average for most courses is 54 or under).
- Confirmed by Walt Disney World, the record for the fairways course is 50 (22 under par) and was shot by Bubba Watson.
- The course record was subsequently broken on 7/6/14 with a 45 (27 under par) and was shot by Lorcan Morris.
