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
Amazing!
Beautiful views, amazing maintenance, and great staff, from valet to Estelle at the desk & Wade the starter. First time on the course I’ll definitely be back! Oh and Abby the cart girl,,, great transfusion!
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Much Better Than The National
Cart was nice. GPS and USB. I was told the fleet is new, about 3 weeks. The driving range was nice. Balls included and no mats. Unlike the National, every hole was wonderful. Visually stimulating and challenging. Conditions were wonderful tee to green. The traps are not sand, but a soft dirt. Even with the recent heavy rain they were all in good shape. I would definitely look forward to going back.
Fantastic! 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.

Where were the on course rangers???
While I rated everything just about five stars the overall review gets only three stars for the following two reasons 1- a twosome should never cut in front of a foursome and then slow the foursome down with no Rangers to be found on the course I had to actually make a call to the clubhouse to get a Ranger out there to see what these two lunatics were doing.
2- we are still dealing with the COVID-19 virus and singles should still be allowed to have a golf cart to themselves when the course is not busy enough and not be forced to pair up with people they’ve never met.
I would still recommend to play both of these courses as conditions were outstanding. But 3 o’clock cut off from the cart girl is too early when it warm.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
Challenging course
Challenging course. Have to hit the fairways or rough will eat you up. Course in magnificent shape. Greens were near perfect and rolled true. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

First Time at Championsgate
Visiting the area from Colorado, and decided to play the International Course. Staff helpfulness was great in orienting us to the facility. Enjoyed the layout; seemed like a reasonable test of skills, but not overwhelming from front tees. The course had apparently been over seeded, but was not an issue; greens rolled good and smooth. Pro shop seemed very nicely stocked with all your needs. Course was not crowded at all on this Tuesday afternoon, so pace was up to the user.
Terrific! 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.

Beautiful, almost flawless
Greens were a 10, fast, dry and rolled true, not one brown spot anywhere. fairways mowed perfectly rough trimmed. Would Def play here again if it's a deal on golf now. I play golf almost daily so this course is a little expensive usually out of my price range. Awesome pro shop with some great shirts and gear
Wonderful! 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.
Greens about 90% healed
Pace was great. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Greens are almost back to normal after aeration a few weeks ago. Couple more weeks and they should be 100%
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing ChampionsGate Golf Club.

Great Course no Complaints
Played the international course. Course is deceiving, they don’t have any trees, but there is only about 5-10 feet of rough on each hole, that you can hit out of, then it goes to about 2 feet of growth, so you have to hit a straight ball to keep it in play. Played the blues and it made it bit more challenging, but overall a good day.
