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.

Always a treat

This place is always a treat to play. Conditions are always great. Greens are fast, but roll true. Tee boxes are in good shape and fairways are nice. My only complaint is, as a local the price point throughout the yea is so unaffordable and we cannot afford to get out on the course until the maintenance season and when temps get up to nearly 100 degrees.

There should be more of a military/veteran rate or a friendlier locals rate. Other than that, course is outstanding!

Perfect

If you’re trying to pick a course with the best conditions, this is it! Greens roll fast and true. Perfect fairways and bunkers. I can’t think of anything negative to say. You get what you pay for and this course is worth the money.

Remembered better conditions

I was expecting more. Overall the course is in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways, many many bunkers are all pretty good. Very good in most areas. Just not great around the edges. At all. Sparse areas with very little grass surround way too many fairways. Just really lacking details. Sounds like I’m being picky, but the International course is supposed to be one of Orlando’s best. Always used to be and they charge a fortune to play here just about all year round. Right now it’s affordable but what I see has def been there for awhile. The greens are the last thing. WAY too many weeds and patches of, I’m not sure what. Different grass? Weed areas? Fungus?

They putt fairly smooth but you need to catch the course early in the day, as the diff grasses grow at diff rates. Late in the day is not as smooth. Again it sounds like I’m being picky, but this is Championsgate. Everyone expects much better! Hard to recommend. CGCC is right down the road and separate from this resort. Better conditions overall.

Best Greens in Central Florida

The course in general was great but the greens were amazing. They were fast but not too fast and the putts were clean and true. Some areas were cut a little too short but the course was in great shape overall. Not sure why courses in central Florida cut the fairways too short but they always do. We will definitely be back to this course again!

Amazing Experience

If you're looking for a challenge, the International course is for you. Narrow fairways, firm greens, and bunkers galore. The course will.test every aspect of your game and requires continual focus.

The staff was great, and I cannot wait to play the course again.

Links course with awesome staff

The course was lovely and played well. Longer with a links layout and in great condition. What really makes this course standout is the staff. From starters to marshalls to wait staff and bag team; everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. That made a day of a very memorable round
