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.

Great challenging course
This course will test skills. Fun course but choose wisely on your tee selection. Greens roll NICELY. Overall a great place to play but plan for plenty of time. I’ll be back.
Difficult but fund
The fairways were some of the best I've ever played on. The greens still showed signs of aeration. This is a very difficult course. If you are playing it for the first time, you might want to play from one set of tees up from what you normally play. There is trouble everywhere. There is a lot of trouble you don't see. The carts have a GPS system that gives a pretty accurate picture of the layout for each hole. However, it won't tell you the elevation from side to side of the fairways and greens and that's where you will find severe trouble. There is a lot of water on this course. Bring your water wings.
Excellent! 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.
Fast!
Course played like it should. Greens were fast, it was windy and fairways were firm. Made you maneuver around the course. Alaays a great test and tough track. Can't wait to play again!
Outstanding! 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
Challenging,..Proximity to the hole is a must the greens are fast and in excellent shape.....the ball rolls true..from tee to green this is a great value to the public..better than most courses in Orlando who invest in taking care of their courses
Outstanding! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
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.
Great Course
Course is in great shape and looks beautiful... greens are rolling nicely and even with the dryness and Restrictions the fairways and tee boxes look well taken care of.
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.
Love this course!
This is a challenging layout but I just love this course.
Staff is always friendly and helpful. Every course in Central Florida needs water but you can't tell here.
Lots of wildlife was on display today, gators and exotic birds.
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!

The Greens are Rollinggggg
Course is in fantastic shape and the greens are super quick, I'd guess rolling 11's. Staff was extremely friendly, felt safe and everything was clean. Had a great time, will definitely be back.

Beautiful but difficult for this novice.
Experienced golfers will love this course. Very challenging for this novice due to the many narrow fairways and water/high grass hazards. Hooks and slices = lost balls. Fast greens, friendly staff, well maintained grounds. Can be pricey at times but good deals can be found. Paid $32 for a 4:30pm time.
Wonderful! 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.

The staff was super nice starter was very knowledgeable of the course.

Excellent course
The course was in great condition and the greens were fast. I had a good time although if the GPS on my cart would have worked it would have been much better.
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.
Stunning!!!
Absolutely beautiful course and super friendly staff! Course is in immaculate condition!! Might be my favorite course in Orlando and I have played most of them! Will absolutely be returning!!!

Course and staff were great
From tee to green the course is in phenomenal shape. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. That’s really my only complaint. Average wait time at a par 3 was 15 minutes and no one came around to speed them up. At one point there were four other groups backed up behind me because it was so slow. Again I don’t want the pace of play to be the only takeaway, loved the condition of the course, the staff and facilities. Would definitely go back, just hoping they can fix the pace of play issue.
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.
Course is tough in the wind
No complaints at all. Everything from tees, fairways to greens is in great shape and rolling fast. Bunkers were wet and no rakes made them difficult, but you’re nitpicking there. The wind made for some very tough shots on a tight course, lots of dangers to find. You can’t do any better for the price. Staff took great care of us, even during Covid times.
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.
Amongst the Elite Courses in Central Florida
Played the International course today in 3.5 hours. This course is in phenomenal condition from the well manicured tees and fairways to the slick greens which roll beautifully. All staff members were kind and courteous, willing to help in any way that they can. This resort course exudes class and current green fees make it very affordable to play. The overall experience is a real treat and a must play if in or near the Orlando market!
Excellent! Thank you for your kind words. We're thrilled that our conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.

Finally!!!
Finally a course that is actually worth playing! I have played Oak Marsh, North Hampton, Lone Palm, Palmer Legacy and ChampionsGate International in the last 5 days. International Course is hands down in the best shape. The other courses are decent to good condition wise and possibly better layouts. But if you’re looking for a well manicured course, this is it. Go play it and enjoy, but beware of the green speed. If you’re over a single digit handicap, the greens will test your nerves. Go play and enjoy!
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.
