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.

Very Links feel, LONG par 4 with water on the right short to medium and water left near the green requiring a long carry if you are in the left fairway. TOUGH Photo submitted by Gage6692955 on 10/06/2012
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.
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!
Put up some yardage poles!!!
This is a nice course but a player should not have to stand on the tee box and try to figure out where to hit a ball. Give us some yardage poles or center of the fairway poles. I don't have a caddie who has walked the course for me to figure out where to go. Without the poles/yardage markers or really anything to help you figure out where to go the course gets boring. Put one short in the fairway then a middle iron in. This course could be great with a little help to the average Joe on where to aim.
