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.

Good Round Wind was HUGE factor
This is a relatively open course so the way wind was blowing made a tough course play tougher. The course and staff are first rate, friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Course was in great shape. Ive played this course the last two years on my vacation and have been blown away both times. free valet and free range balls make the somewhat high price much more palatable. The clubhouse has fantastic food as well
Great value
This a pretty course with super friendly staff. Everyone we met was helpful and pleasant. They let us out early so we could get a full round in. The only problem with the course is signage. There are 2 courses and the signs are not clear or in the right spots to clearly know where to go.
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.
Steve ryder
Loved the golf course. Greens were very nice and layout is very tough. Played the blues unfortunately there was fog early on and didn’t see much of the first 6 holes... probley shouldn’t have let us out because of the fog but the starter Darryl was a total creep. The guy should not be working in this business. I never complain but went into pro shop to tell the manager how bad and ridiculous this man is... once you get past the jerk starter course is def worth playing. Will go back next time down .
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Terrific! 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!
Excellent course
Championsgate is an excellent course, great conditions and friendly staff. If your in Orlando for a visit, give this one a try.
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.
ChampionsGate International course
Got in on a Hot deal through Golfnow so rate for this course was very good.
Golf course is in great shape. Greens were very good and rolled nicely. Played at 9am and was done shortly after one. Waited briefly on 2 or 3 holes so pace of play was good.
Challenging layout especially in windy conditions.
Staff was very friendly and will definitely go back again
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.
Busy time of year
Given the amount of golfers playing now, it is a credit to all at Champiknsgate that the course is playing so well. Pa e of play great especially as there were 4 balls everywhere.
Wonderful! 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.
Overpriced. Not what I would expect from a resort course.
Played the National course. Course was very dry and not much grass in rough areas. Greens were above average. Fairways ok. Tee boxes a little tough.
Played a number of courses in Florida in much better shape and for a lower cost.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.

It's a monster & was blowin, rained out at the turn.
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.
Great course
Great condition. I got one of the hot deal with late tee time. Maybe this is the reason it’s little chaotic. Great layout, green is fast and nice. Would come back again.

Nice solid course
Definitely 4 star, but not a top tier course. Hard to find a flat spot on more than half of the gold tees, a pet pieve of mine on good courses. Fairways good but most not generous. Lots of fairway bunkers in play. Greens mostly long and narrow. Reasonable length on par 3s. Areas off fairways rough and unkempt, visually unappealing and detracting on a course at this price point. Interesting layout. Pace of play 5+ hours. First 9 brutal but second 9 major improvement when ranger told us tournament was over. No tournament was ever announced.

ChampionsGate International
Had a fun round of golf today with my wife. Got paired up with local Floridians who were trying the course for the first time too. Practice facilities were in great shape with Callaway range balls. Today the range was about an eighty yd walk from where you parked the carts. Can bring a few clubs or bring your bag. Only suggestion to the staff is to have some tees available next to the practice balls when practicing the driver as we did not bring our entire bag to the range. Practice green in great shape and speed is true to the course.
Staff greeted us when we drove up and they took care of everything. Complimentary valet parking. Check-in was quick. Refreshment cart was very visible throughout our round.
Course Marshall was also visible to check pace of play. Our foursome was a hole behind the group in front and we were encouraged to keep pace of play. Felt more pressure from the group behind but they were a threesome and were bombing their drives +270 yds. Realized that no matter how fast we played, they were going to breath down our necks. I’m a 12 handicap and usually finish rounds 3.5 hr/round at my home club but decided to enjoy the day with my wife and new friends as we are on vacation. At the end, we completed our round in 4hr 15 min. Overall a great day and look forward to trying the other course on site. If you plan to golf in Orlando, put this facility on your list.
Excellent! 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.
Five Stars
Excellent top drawer this is our go to reward course while in Orlando
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!
Pace of play
Everything was great and our pace was just over 4 hours. What was annoying was constant reminder on gps screens to catch up with group in front of us, even though they were a 2 some and ccx we were a 4.
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.

Great track!
Must play in the Orlando area . Not that impressed with the NATIONAL Course. So if your going to pick one of the two the INTERNATIONAL course is the ONE. Very challenging. Especially when there’s 30mph winds. Great conditions. Greens were great!
