ChampionsGate Golf Club - International

Course was in amazing shape. It was cart path only, but pace of play was fine. Perfect conditions out there. highly recommend.

Very golfer friendly. Perfect condition. Very enjoyable

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!

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.

20 to 30 mph winds, fast greens, make for a tough day. Figure to shoot about 6 over your handicap. Really nice course.

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.

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.

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.

Enjoyed our round. Pace was great course in great condition. You have to keep the ball in the fairway, otherwise you’ll be adding strokes to your score. This for just of the fairway and forget the high stuff. Do enjoy the layout of the course and the staff all are very courteous and friendly. Would cone back.

I hadn’t played the course in a while but it exceeded my expectations. It played as well or better than the private club I belong to with true greens that were fast, fairways that thick and allowed for a nice divot and roughs that were tough but fair. Lots of risk/reward shots that put strategy into play. I was also impressed with the staff there. Laney was on the cart and she was great. Saw her 4 times during the round.. She had a great personality and made us feel appreciated. We also stopped by the bar after the round and Abbey did a great job as well. I will be playing there more and at my club a little less. Definitely worth playing.

I live across the street and

Play here often. A fantastic layout!

Have wanted to play for a while and finally got the chance to. No idea there was so much acreage near Orlando to where you feel like you are secluded and in the Isles of the UK. Fabulous, staff great, can't think of any negatives. A true test of golf and very enjoyable at the same time.

The pace of play was so bad today, almost 2 hours in and only completed 5 holes. 4some ahead had zero etiquette to let us go through and I donr think it was because they were being mean, but probably didn't understand to waive us through.

I ended up leaving and just wasting my money today which is very unfortunate.

I do request a call from the pro shop.

Maintenance sprinklers were on hole 11, also13 working around green side sand trap, sprinklers on 14 par 3. Also 15 a group of maintenance men talking where we could hear them. This was our second round this week. Maybe just bad luck, first round was good.

Greens, fairways, tees and trap were awesome.

On the 6th hole (441 from the whites, number 1 handicap hole) I got out of my cart, snapped the white flag in the green at 216, looked at the cart FPS and that was also 216. Went with a cut 3 wood that started a little left of the green but never got back. While driving up not too far from the green and saw I had a tricky down hill lie just off the green for my 3rd shot chip on the par 4. Then I looked at the flag to see that it was a short flag for the junior course #2. The real hole was 88 yards to the right of that hole (exactly pun high to the 6th hole - they both were 216 yards from the fairway) which left a half pw on a down hill lie, led to a double and hurt my front 9 score.

Now the issue Why would Championsgate use white flags on the junior course that match the white flags used on The International course? Major oversight here. They (junior course pins) should be all blue, yellow or red or any color but white. This could be a huge problem for a serious golfer if this was during a qualifier or something important like a tournament. Please change those flags so nobody else has this issue. Thank you.
