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.

Great Course
A great course in excellent condition and the starter could not have been more helpful and friendly
Thanks so much for the great review and 5-star rating! We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - International.
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.
Hello and thank you for your great rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - International!
Very difficult long course for ladies
We played this course for the first time and the ladies yardage off gold tees is 5487 and in this yardage are two par 3s at 98 and 105 yards so 16 holes total 5284 yards for 16 holes which is a too long for the average lady golfer, and for a gent to play giving the lady a fair chance I had to play off blue tees 6735 as the usual difference between ladies and gents is 1100 yards.
the difference between white and gold is only 800 yds
we both had an awful game as the course was too long
Hello, thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - International.

Very nice experience
The Omni crew is fabulous. They go out of their way to accommodate you. The International course is tight, but fair. Great layout. In great condition. I was a single and played through 3 foursomes. Under 3 hours for 18 holes!
Hello, thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We're so glad that you enjoyed your round at ChampionsGate Golf Club - International. Please visit us again soon for another 5-star experience!
Very friendly staff, Golf Course with a lot of potential for improvement.
All the staff from the partkin valet to the starter were very friendly.
The golf course has many areas that could be improved, such as the surroundings of the greens and the tee-offs (many weeds)
We where 3 players and played behind 2 foursome for 9 holes waiting on all the shots. In the back 9 , we had to move to the 13th hole and end up playing 10,11,12 last.
Recommendation: Check the weather forecast before making a reservation, we play with temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. ChampionsGate Golf Club - International thanks you!
Course good, but pace of play terrible
2 hours to play 6 holes. My playing partner got frustrated and quit. I had to skip 2 holes in order to get past 3 very slow, rude groups. On course ranger could’ve done more to encourage playing through.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Well kept Resort course
Had an opportunity to play the international course at ChampionsGate six days after a hurricane had passed through the area. I was surprised at how well kept and resilient the course was. There was still some small areas of standing water in the fairways but I found none in the Green side bunkers. In fact the greenside bunker‘s had all been reworked and raked. Only one hole was still cartpath only. The international course designed by Greg Norman has a few trees and is supposed to be more links like. Fairways are enormous Lee wide. Some forced carries are required but if you pick the right set of tees none of them are difficult. Greens roll smooth. One of their par four holes is undergoing a major renovation and all four tee-boxes are playing off the most forward Tee. The only reason I gave this course a four star rating is because it is a bit boring. It is hard to build a Links style course in Central Florida w/o moving a lot of dirt on relatively flat terrain.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. ChampionsGate Golf Club - International thanks you!
