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
Don’t miss this gem!
Played on a Saturday morning just before 8 am. Course provides free range balls on a nice driving range. There is a putting green close to where you pick up your cart…beware, it is NOT representative of the greens on the course. This putting green is extremely furry and will throw you off. The greens on the course are immaculate as are the fairways. Great layout with challenging memorable holes. 3 of the par 3’s are challenging due to their length. Played the blues at around 6700 yards. The white’s are around 6200 so there is quite a gap. They should have a blue/white combo on the card but I suppose you could create your own. Overall this course is probably the best conditioned course in the greater Orlando area and I will be back again without question! Pace was ok, took about 4 1/2 hours but there was a little rain that may have been a factor. The front 9 was without waiting. But the 10th tee box got a little backed up.
Lovely course
The course is a true test and has some lovely holes.
The fairways were a little bit worn probably from being over played and there was a few divots which had not been filled which was a shame.
The greens were great and very receptive.
Would come back but perhaps earlier in the season.

Nice track
Tee box’s fairways and greens were all in great shape, carts were nice and fast with gps. A tad bit overpriced in my opinion but I had a fun time playing it.

Loved the course
Loved the course so much I asked about a replay rate and got to play 36 holes. Pace of play was fantastic. Finished 36 holes with a 30 minute break between rounds in 8 hours total. Course in fantastic shape. Great layout. Fair but challenging. Would play 36 here everyday.

Loved everything about Champions Gate
Four of us played the International course. Me and one friend are over 65 so we played the senior tees, the other two were younger and played the Whites. I had the round of my life that day shooting even par. You definitely have to think your way around this course. I only hit my drives anymore around 215 and the course played plenty long for me, but very fair. Most holes were middle irons and hybrids to the greens. The greens were great, I didn't hit a bunker so I can't speak for them. Practice facility was great. Would play there aging with no hesitation. My advice to someone playing there for the first time, use the practice facility to get warmed up, you will use all of the clubs in your bag.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon for another 5-star experience at ChampionsGate Golf Club - International.
Challenging course in great shape
This is a very challenging course with extremely fast greens and fast areas around the green. Also, you will have to hit your tee shots long and straight, because landing areas are quite narrow at times.
That being said, this is a beautiful course in open nature. It is shaped into the landscape with great care and it is kept in perfect condition. It is a first class experience!

Prepare for Wind!
The course layout is okay but most of the course has no wind protection whatsoever so consequently prepare to face wind all day on every hole. We played today and the wind was 20 - 25 mph and it was tough to score. My partner shot 85 and me 89. Greens were also very hard and not receptive. I would recommend playing it once but we won’t be coming back. Too many other courses to play that has more wind protection and scorable.
