After closing in late April 2026 for refurbishment, Turf Club Lounge at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort is officially back open. The lounge runs daily from 11 AM to 11 PM and received a noticeable facelift, with new tables, chairs, carpeting, and a redesigned bar area.
The updated menu brings some intriguing changes. A standout addition appears to be a pretzel stuffed with meats, cheeses, and vegetables — a significant upgrade from the simpler Giant Pretzel that previously appeared on the menu. The fan-favorite Turf Burger — built with smoked cheddar, thick-cut bacon, bourbon glaze, crispy onions, and tomato jam on a brioche bun — is also back, now served with waffle fries instead of seasoned French fries. Crispy chicken wings with a choice of Buffalo or garlic-Parmesan sauce, blue cheese, and celery round out the savory options, alongside a selection of cocktails and drinks.
The staggered closure was intentional: Disney kept either the lounge or the neighboring Turf Club Bar & Grill open at all times during construction. Currently, the Bar & Grill side remains closed for its own refurbishment, with the Disney World website listing a September 30th target reopening date for that space.
Guests staying at or visiting Saratoga Springs now have a solid lounge option to enjoy while the full-service restaurant completes its renovation. It's worth noting that dates and details can shift, so checking the Disney World website closer to your visit is always a good idea.
