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 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

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.
