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.

Excellent experience all around

Right from the start this was a great experience. Friendly greeting, helpful and great value. Nicely designed course in great shape. Reasonable pace of play. I was particularly impressed with the included range balls and water. So nice to not feel like you’re having every last dime squeezed out from you.

Must Play!

Wow. Do yourself a favor and play the international course. What a jewel of a course! A true links course. It’s challenging but fair. Greens roll true and it is in mint condition. Norman did a spectacular job with this design. It has every kind of hole that requires a variety of shots. The staff were very friendly. Rick was extremely kind and welcoming. I look forward to playing this course again soon. Will also play the national course. I would’ve paid twice what I paid to play this course. I paid $115 and a course of this level could easily charge $200 to play. Really enjoyed it.

Resort golf done right.

Staff was excellent. The course layout was fun and in great shape. We played the international course. It was challenging without being overbearing. It offered a nice selection of risk/reward opportunities. I will certainly play again

Excellent Course and Staff

Course was incredible, staff was even more amazing. They helped get me out faster and even was able to let me play alone (I wanted to work on some things). Was an incredible experience.

Very challenging

This international course is pretty unique. It's my second time playing here, haven't played the national yet. Very challenging course, you will lose balls if your handicap is a bit high, but fun nonetheless. Staff is great and practice facilities are well maintained too. Definitely recommend to other players. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it to play at least once.

Good challenge but

Parcours en bonne condition.

Très challengeant pour une première fois.

Seul bémol, on nous demandait un coût très élevé pour un replay de 9 trous en fin de pm.

Nous avons refusé.

International is amazing.

First time out there and was absolutely blown away. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Course was gorgeous and immaculately kept. Would recommend to anyone who’s visiting or if your local after 2 rates are well worth braving the sun, heat, and occasional shower.

Bad Experience

Booked tee time for experience. Play often with wife as rider. Wife and I enjoy our time playing alone and listening to music, as not to annoy anyone. Showed at tee box at 7:05am for our 7:10am tee time. Booked as single with a rider. We’ve checked dates and tee time availability to ensure course isn’t busy and we can play as a single. 7:20am couple shows early as well. Without asking, Starter tells them to play with us? I tell Starter, then we’ll take their tee time at 7:20am so we can play as a single. Starter argues, stating they have no open tee times and we need to play with them for pace of play. Mind you, we booked the second time tee time of the day.

On hole 3, a single, that the Starter has let out behind us, passes us, never to be seen again, and completes his round. Meanwhile, what would’ve taken me 3 hours to play as a single, has taken 4 hours. We’ve played from three separate tee boxes, blue, white, and gold, and haven’t seen another golfer on the empty course.

In summary, the Starter gave away our tee time; refused to offer us another tee time; then sends a single out behind me, and wastes an hour of my day in the Florida heat and deprived us of our experience. In the grand scheme of life, no biggie. But for the experience, disappointing. In addition, many of the tee boxes didn’t have markers set up indicating hitting area?

Beautiful course and Tough

Decided to play this course at last minute. Staff was wonderful. Friendly and very helpful. Practice facilities are great. Carts are very nice. Tees, towels, water and GPS included. Couldn’t ask for more. The course is gorgeous. Definitely gives that feeling of playing overseas. Scenic and tough. Foot into the rough and ball is gone. Must be accurate or you’re in trouble. Tees are good and clean, fairways are good and greens are really nice. Greens are fast which I prefer. Absolutely beautiful and recommended
