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.

Very Links feel, LONG par 4 with water on the right short to medium and water left near the green requiring a long carry if you are in the left fairway. TOUGH Photo submitted by Gage6692955 on 10/06/2012
Course is in great shape and it was nice to get out.
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.

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!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Very Nice Course
One of the better courses I have played in this area. It was very windy and the course played long and tough. Fairway and greens were perfect.
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.
Very good
Professional feel to the complex and very well kept. Tee boxes in great shape, seemed like the white tees were not playing 6200 seemed shorter. Fairways were not hard pan which at this time of year, you seem to find a lot. Great job with the condition of fairways. Sand traps were perfect. The greens were incredible, played late afternoon very fast. Probably a 12 or 13 stimpmeter, close to Augusta national type green speed. If you were off the green you had to be creative with getting on. This is a course where if it's first time playing you will make mistakes on placement/club selection for not knowing lay out. Going to play again.
Augusta National speed huh? Yes most of us are very familiar with that *eye roll*
Excellent! Thank you for your kind words and detailed review. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Phenomenal shape!
Course is in phenomenal condition. Greens were well manicured and fast but also tricky. Place of play was wide open and perfect. Steven ( I believe that’s his name) was mega nice to talk to post round.
Fantastic! 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.
Champions Gate Golf Club (International)
A professional and friendly environment with a top course well worth its buck. Tee to green is in great nick. Rough is unpredictable leaving a challenging course at all levels.

GREAT COURSE
First time for this snowbird on this great course.
Very friendly, helpful staff.
Social Distancing provisions in place and adequate.
Great practice areas.
Plenty of T box choices for all levels of golfers.
Lots of picturesque panoramic views.
Fairways in very good condition.
Fast greens.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
Excellent! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your first time at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We're glad that you felt safe playing our course and we look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Consistently one of the best golf courses, staff and amenities in the Orlando market.
I always enjoy playing either the International or National courses. The golf course staff does a great job keeping and maintaining the courses and practice areas in professional condition. This is despite the current Covid 9 measures not allowing rakes in the bunkers and sand for divots. My only regret is that a minority number of golfers aren't doing their part in simply smoothing foot prints in the bunkers, fixing pitch marks on the greens and throwing trash away when appropriate. This is not a slight against the golf staff at all, they're certainly doing their part to present a great golf experience. I'll also give a shout out to Phil in the Pro Shop, great guy who is very accommodating. Look forward to returning soon!
Outstanding! Thank you for your kind words! We're glad that you felt safe playing our course and that Phil 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.
ChampionsGate International
The course was in GREAT condition. Internal and external employees were courteous and helpful. Social distancing was the norm. Was a wonderful round of golf on a fine and challenging course.
Outstanding! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time and that you felt safe playing our course. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Best public course in Orlando
I am blown away by the course conditions every time I play here. Played for the second time in 2 weeks out here. $59 green fee right now is crazy. Greens are FIRM and possibly the fastest around. If you are considering this course vs Disney, Shingle Creek, Orange County National, or celebration it’s not even close. Do yourself a favor and play here, you won’t regret it.
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.
