The area was named in homage to Walt Disney's Golden Oak Ranch in California.

The community includes multiple lakes, a small river, and a clubhouse designed in the style of an Italian villa.

The locations of some homes within the community allow residents to see and hear the nightly fireworks from the nearby Magic Kingdom theme park.
