Course Highlights
The International Course impresses with immaculate fairways, well-maintained tee boxes, and a challenging links-style layout featuring pot bunkers, mounds, and strategic water carries. Attentive staff delivering cold water and towels, smooth pace of play, and included amenities like range balls and valet make this a standout Orlando experience.

ChampionsGate Golf Resort, an un-matched golf facility for world-class golf, offers 36 holes designed by International golf champion Greg Norman and is the World Headquarters of David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Located just 15 minutes from Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Champions has two excellent and very different golf courses on a single site.

Greg Norman blended tradition and modern elements to create a unique golf experience.

The International course, which is the highest rated course in Florida, has the look and feel of a links-style layout in the British Isles. The International offers a golf experience unlike any other in the Orlando area, but one that will be familiar to those who have played the links courses of Scotland and Ireland. The International was designed, constructed and seeded to offer a hard, fast playing surface similar to those found on true links courses. The International, with 18 of the most dramatic and challenging holes in Florida, is destined to rank among the top resort courses in the country.

Afternoon at Champions Gate

A fine game on a very nice course. A great layout in this area of Florida. Greens pretty good, staff great and all other facilities very good. A bit heavy at $200 but great value at $112.
