ChampionsGate Golf Club - International
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Checks all boxes
I play this at least once a year whenever I am in Orlando. They layout is not super difficult but keeps you interested. The overseed is fantastic this year. But what makes this special for me is the staff. They went out of their way to accommodate the little things that made it so easy for me. Finally, the golfers here have superb golf etiquette and let me thru as a single till I paired up with a twosome. Highly recommended.
Great day
Tee boxes were amazing and almost divot free. Course was mint condition. Sand was a disappointment it was not loose white sand but more of a heavy wet sand. Greens were relatively slow based on the fact the temperature was perfect and sunny it should have been much faster. Layout was great enough strategically place bunkers enough water hazards. Limited trees and dogleg on fairways. Which made play a bit less challenging ot easier to play. I did love the course and will go again and play as many times as possible.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - International.
Nice High-end Florida Course
We played the National Course and it was as expected for the cost. Great service and beautiful clubhouse. The Course it self was in really good shape and the layout is typical for a Florida Course. We will put it in the rotation for the next visit.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at ChampionsGate Golf Club - International. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
1st Time
Everything was great except I was informed cart path only at check in. Not gonna say no and travel 2 hours back home. Definitely wouldn't have gone if I new it were cart path only.

Mud gate
No GPS cart path only mud balls on every shot all together a very bad experience I left after nine holes just no fun.
First time I ve walk off a golf course in 40 years without really ad weather this was a beauty of a day.

Reliably Good
Great range and practice facilities. Course was in good shape, greens were slower than other years I played here. Tee time was booked on International but it was cart path only for over seeding, moved me to National no problem. Staff are super friendly.

Disappointing conditions
Arrived and was informed course was cart path only due to recent overseeding. Was offered a later time on National course but was informed that play was very slow due to large outing. Greens had an enormous amount of unrepaired ball marks.

Great course design
Great golf course. Would play there again BUT not for the money I paid. Booked a 12:50 tee time. The staff was very friendly but when I got to the starter he said they have 3 groups that have NOT made the turn yet? Mentioned I could go to the 6th hole and start from there to get ahead of the slow play group. Which was a group of 40 that put the entire course 1 hour behind. Started on the 7th hole and enjoyed the course from there. I did play the first 6 holes after the 18th so I did get in all 18 holes.

Challenging but fun course
We had a great time playing ChampionsGate International course. The course is challenging, especially the long par 4s. Pace of play was a bit slow. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club - International for another 5-star experience.
Challenging
Course is tough in the wind with a tight layout. A good challenge for under 18 handicappers. Tough pin positions on the day I played.
2hours 40 for the 1st 9 is not acceptable though.
Condition was pretty good overall
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting ChampionsGate Golf Club - International, and we hope to see you again in the future.
