Disney Golf Reveals Grumpy Statue at Magnolia Golf Course’s 'Grumpy’s Gauntlet'

Disney has introduced a new statue of Grumpy at Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course. The statue now greets players as they enter the recently redesigned four-hole stretch known as “Grumpy’s Gauntlet.”

The statue sits near the tee box at hole 14, the start to “Grumpy’s Gauntlet,” a highly challenging stretch of holes 14-17 at the course.

The group of holes features massive waste bunkers, tricky doglegs, and highly undulating greens. Hole 14 is a tough par-4, Hole 15 is a long par-5 (up to 597 yards), Hole 16 is a par-4 flanking water, and Hole 17 is a difficult par-3 surrounded by water.

Disney Golf has just added a six-foot-tall Carrera marble statue of Grumpy, marking the entrance to “Grumpy’s Gauntlet.” It was crafted by Walt Disney Imagineering using a stone-carving robot, powered by AI.

Be sure to look closely for a couple of hidden “gems” featured in the statue, his club, a 7 iron as a nod to his fellow dwarfs, and a replicated golf ball from 1937, a nod to the original film’s release date.

In the Magnolia pro shop, Grumpy’s Gauntley merchandise can be found, including hats, flags, golf balls, and other accessories.

Grumpy’s Gauntlet debuted in March of 2025. The golf course went through a significant renovation in 2022, reopening without its final four holes. They reopened in late 2023, but construction work continued throughout 2024.

Every hole on the Magnolia course has a Disney movie-inspired name and a quote, either by legendary golfer Arnold Palmer or Walt Disney. Hole No. 6 is “The Mouse Trap,” featuring Walt Disney’s famous quote, “I hope we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse.”

Hole No. 15 is called “The Dinglehopper.” It features the Arnold Palmer quote, “It’s a funny thing; the more I practice, the luckier I get.”
