ChampionsGate Golf Club - International
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.

International course
I had a great time here. The GPS Carts were helpful since I had not played it before!
Great! Thank you for visiting us at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Intl..
Greens were in great shape. Rolled true and quick. Held shots appropriately. Fairways and tees were a bit shaggy b/c of the over seed. A bit over priced during over seed conditions but all in all a good course with great practice facilities.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Terrific! 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!
Cart path only
Cart path only due to the rye overseed
They haven’t mown the rough and tee boxes for this reason
Greens were perfect
Pace was just ok due to tournament
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.
National
Greens are in fantastic shape. Tees and fairways are very nice.
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.
Target golf/links style
Wow! Fabulous layout around a wildlife preserve. Sand taps and pot bunkers abound. You must know what club to hit and where you want to position the ball for your next shot. There are few trees and little shade so be cautioned if you play this course in July/August. Ledbetter Golf Academy also on premises. Long cart ride to get to first tee,. Greens moderate but not easy to read.
I would like to play this course again.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Premier Course
We had planned on playing the international course but due to the rains the course hadn't been mowed for a few days so they moved us to the National. What a great move. Course was in superb condition. We had a great day of golf. Greens rolled true, fairways were well kept and pace of play was 3.5 hrs.
Fantastic! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.

BEST GREENS IN ORLANDO!
I play here about once every two weeks, give or take, and these greens are the best I’ve played this fall, BAR NONE!! The fairways are also in great shape as are the tees and rough, for the most part. On top of that, the layout is an outstanding design that eliminates the blind shot and any angst about where you should hit it. Great track that I highly recommend!

Tournament conditions
I've played the National a few times but haven't played the International since they shut it down and redid it. At least that's what I recall them telling me a few years ago. Anyway, the course was in perfect condition. Pro level tournament ready. I live in Tampa and have played the Copperhead course where the Valspar is held. This blew it away. To be fair the Copperhead wasn't in tournament condition and I just played the Island course there today and it was pretty d@mn good condition. Not as good as the International. It was extremely windy with gust well past 30mph. It wreaked havoc with the natural draw on my tee shots. I can't hit a cut reliably. I should have never teed off with more than a 4 iron since I can't not hook my hybrid. I would have shot around 80 instead of 90. The greens were super firm and you had to hit them with enough spin to stop the ball. Otherwise it would roll down to a collection area from the elevated crowned greens hopefully on the non short side. More than once I would ended up short sided in these area and hit my pitch a touch long and would end up 30 to 50 feet off the other side.
Staff was super friendly, especially the starter, rangers and pro shop. Range and practice areas were in great shape also. Only nit pick was the bunkers. It did rain the night before and they were the only thing that seemed to hold moisture. That could be design though but I hated them. I'm used to nice dry fluffy sand. Cost me some strokes.
Outstanding! 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.
Tough course
20 to 30 mph winds, fast greens, make for a tough day. Figure to shoot about 6 over your handicap. Really nice course.
Excellent! 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!
Tournament conditions
Had not played the international course at champions gate for a few years. The conditions were outstanding. Tournament could be played tomorrow. Must play if in Orlando area.

Perfect!!!
Played the International on Sunday morning. First group off the tee and it was amazing. Course was perfect and the greens were the best I have ever played on. Everyone in the group agreed and we have all played various top 100 courses.
We played the correct Tee boxes for our group and that made it much more playable and fun. This course would be extremely hard if you played from the tips.
Everyone at the course was very helpful and friendly. We were worried when the guys getting our bags from the car told us that we didn't have enough balls in the bag if we were playing the International. My guess is they get a lot of dads trying to just get away from Disney for a day and try to play the tips and take all the fun out of it.
I would play this course over and over again. It was a great way to end our weekend golf trip.
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Great Course
The course is generous and kind with wide open fairways but it doesn't look kindly on wayward tee shots. Stray too far, there are plenty of knee high rough to hinder your next shot. A great resort course, I would be very happy to come back here.
