Every year, and it's free.
Watch out for the family 10 ball game in front though!

Not a rumor, first come first tee off, at Championship Courses, play for free. One person per foursome must have resident ID. You will find many who are in the line, don’t play championship, either due to cost, or ability.

Plan on a good chunk of your day, waiting, in initial line, then at every tee box, fairway, and green. Bring your patience, some guests may have never played golf.

All in all either you will have a great time, or wonder why you chose to play.

Since 2007, We are enhanced (priority) members. We we will be standing in line, at Disney. But at least there will be food, and drinks to keep warm.. enjoy everyone

With no one watching the championship courses on Christmas Day, there is the threat of people playing before 11:00 am and damaging the courses.
