If you desire to travel to one of the golf courses to play a round of golf, you may want to play on the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course, which is a Golf Digest four-star rated, 18-hole course that has hosted PGA tournaments. After golfing, you can return to the hotel and swim in any of the hotel's three outdoor pools or get a relaxing massage, manicure, pedicure or wrap at the hotel's spa.

Hilton Hotel
The Hilton Hotel, which is situated on several acres in Downtown Disney, is the longest-running AAA-rated, four-diamond hotel in central Florida. The hotel features suites as well as deluxe rooms. All rooms include amenities such as dual-line telephones, in-room movies and clock radios. One of the convenient things about this hotel for many is the fact that it is 100 percent non-smoking. Guests who stay here are only steps away from Downtown Disney, where they can dine, shop and be entertained. However, there are also shopping boutiques and restaurants inside the Hilton for those who don't want to leave the hotel. If you are not an experienced golfer but want to practice, you can arrange to have a golf lesson with a golf pro at Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course. It is the easiest course at Disney World, partially thanks to the fact it has only nine holes.
