<\/a>We\u2019re heading into fall, temperatures will soon be cooling, and it\u2019s a perfect time to plan a golf vacation. Rent an Orlando timeshare<\/a> and have fun working on that handicap at, of all places, Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n

The golf courses at Walt Disney World have long been favorites among guests, as well as members of the golfing industry. And now things are going to be even better. Disney has announced that it is pairing up with one of golf\u2019s biggest names of all time \u2013 Arnold Palmer. All five of the WDW golf courses will be managed by Arnold Palmer Golf Management, including operations, maintenance, and promotion, beginning September 25, 2011.<\/p>\n

Arnold Palmer has designed golf courses literally from one end of the country to the other \u2013 Hawaii to Connecticut. The Palmer name is known for innovative course designs that are fun and challenging at the same time. \u201cAnd when you blend that with WDW\u2019s already family-friendly environment and its rich golf heritage,\u201d said one WDW official, \u201cwhat you\u2019ll get is a mixture that further enhances Disney Golf\u2019s stature as a unique golf destination experience that appeals to golfers of all levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palmer states that he is \u201clooking forward to the opportunity\u201d to work with Disney, and plans to designate The Palm course as one of his signature courses with elements designed by him.<\/p>\n
