ChampionsGate Golf Club - International

A links style course with plenty of challenge but very fun to play. It’s a bit harder than the National course on the same property but worth playing. Its also has a very nice range and putting area and a good restaurant!

I didn’t think I had played this course before but as we were playing I recognized some holes and realized I did play it years ago. I did enjoy playing here but it is expensive. The course was in excellent shape. The guys I got paired up with wanted to play the Blue/White tees and they come in over 6,500 yards which normally is out of my league but I was a single and didn’t want to slow anyone down by playing up a tee. It was actually really good as the course didn’t play that long for some reason except for the first hole. That first hole

Is a long one with an elevated green so it makes it quite tough to score well out of the gate. The only reason I didn’t give this a five star is the fairway bunkers or waste areas seemed to have a lot of collapsed sides and naturally that is where my ball ended up. So you can tell the bunkers weren’t shaped like that but have collapsed due to either erosion or something else. Also there are some forced layups and hidden penalty areas that only someone who had played the course prior would know about. I could have also spent more time looking at the GPS in the cart so that is solely on me but most courses don’t really require that much studying. The greens were very well maintained and were very fast. I was also able to see a gator sticking its head out of the water right near the cart path so that was very cool. I am looking forward to playing the National course as I know I have played that before but don’t remember it at all.

It had been years since I played this course -- and it was a treat to play it again. Overall, the course conditions were good, my only gripe was that the greens were a bit slow, but they are healthy and roll true.

They did have course marshalls on the course, and I think they made some attempts to speed up the pace of play - I finished in 4:40 which is too long for my liking. At worst, I think it should be 4 hours 15 mins. Staff was courteous.

As far as the price -- I knew what I was getting into as this is definitely a more expensive round of golf. For this time of year certainly. I think it's like 25% overpriced, but I do enjoy it and I'll be back during the summer when the prices go down.

This is a really good golf course. Well maintained though green could probably do with a little work albeit they are rolling quite well. Pricey and unsure if it matches some of the other courses in the same price bracket.

What an amazing course! Great condition, great layout, tee boxes, fairways, and greens in great shape! This is probably my favorite course in Florida that I have played.

Was able to get off right on time and pace of play was fantastic!! The greens were fast and smooth and fairways were in real good shape! I thought the layout and design were challenging but fair if you hit good shots! I'll definitely play here again on my next visit to Orlando!

The course is well kept during hot summer days. The greens are in excellent shape and have a good speed. It's always fun to play here. The balls are easily lost if they land on the edges of the course. Hit your ball straight and to the center of the greens. HaHa!

This is an Omni Resort just outside Orlando. The course is in excellent condition even though it’s been a brutal Summer. Tee boxes smooth. Fairways wide enough but with challenging turns and mounding. Plenty of bunkers - many guarding greens. A few water carries. Greens were a little slow - but that helped my game. There is a full practice area for putting, chipping and driving. The staff were outstanding - including the guys who kept my cart packed with ice, cold water and cool towels on a hot day. The cart was new, clean and had GPS. Putting up with the heat was worth it to have a chance to play this gem.

Course was in wonderful shape. Greens were coming back after being punched and were a little slow, but rolled true. Player assistant kept us in water and cold towels. Pace of play was about 4 hours and 30 minutes. Staff was excellent from the valet to the cart girl. Had a great round. This was a deal for the price.

1st visit in about 15yrs to play the International course. The course was immaculate, with the only knock being the greens being a tad bit slower than usual. That is because they in August and the course needs extra water due to the scorching afternoons, so I will be back in the cooler months to play faster greens.

From the Pro Shop to the cart, to the range and Starter, even the player's assistant offering wet towels and water, everyone was pleasant and professional. We had a 7:00am tee time, and were unloading our bags by 10:20. I couldn't ask for a better experience, felt like we had the beautiful course to ourselves all morning.

Love the course, the layout and how challenging the International Course is. The greens were quite soft and spongey so putts weren't rolling true but usually the greens here are top notch

DONT GET ME WRONG, this course is expensive. $170+ for early times. But you 100% get what you pay for here. I try to spend under $60 a round, and if you are an afternoon player anyways, there is NOT a better course in central Florida. The staff is all super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Range balls, water bottles, valet, and club cleaning are all included. The course is IMMACULATE. You can hit a good score, bad score, but there will almost never be the "well THIS OR THAT" got in my way. Even if you hit a bad shot, the grass is kept to the point that you will usually be able to play out of the rough without wanting to scream. The bunkers are DIFFICULT though. Stay out of them at all costs. There also is VERY little shade, so play on a hot day is a challenge. BRING SUNSCREEN!!! There is little shade on either course!

Played 4 area courses over the week on a golf trip. This course looks good tee to green but the greens were unacceptable. Extremely bumpy, wet and so slow. I wish I would have stopped after 3 holes and asked for a refund but I thought it would get better. 17th green is so bad. They had the worst greens of the 4 courses we played and the most expensive. Go somewhere else

Usually one my of favorites to play in the area. Tee boxes and fairways are nice, but the greens are absolutely horrible. Slow and bumpy, its horrible. For $97 dollars its a rip off. Save your money and go play Southern Dunes.

Played this course a handful of times. Brought a scratch golfer(I am as well) with me this time because I raved about the previous experiences. Our course is closed due to greens renovation. I was embarrassed after the round as my judgment of picking great courses was in jeopardy. Tee until green was very nice, minus some in-play areas unkept. The greens were atrocious. Super soft, very slow, bumpy, and impossible to hit a basic bump and run. It became apparent it was bad when we left divot marks on the greens on a basic green-side bump and run. There was all bump and zero run. I was astonished at how bad the greens were. Charging $120 per person is robbery as there are many other courses with great greens in the area for cheaper. We didn’t care about the price, we wanted greens worth putting on, and this was a very bad experience. We played very welll even from the tips, but had many great shots lose to not having a chance because the putts had zero consistency. If this course was half the price being realistic with their greens, I probably wouldn’t have had an issue….
