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.

Golf
It's a monster & was blowin, rained out at the turn.
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.
Awesome! 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.
Excellent! 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!
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.
Great! 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.
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 international course at Championsgate is a challenging course in excellent condition.

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.
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!
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!

Had fun
First time playing here. Conditions were quite good, greens in nice shape. Did get a bit slow at times, took 4.5 hours.
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.

We had a pleasent day of golf, it could have been perfect if the sand traps were in better condition.

Must play course in Orlando
If you are visiting Central Florida or live in the area, this is a must play course. Beautiful layout, conditions were on point, and the greens rolled true. Plenty of holes will make you sit back and create a plan of attack. Definitely on my list to play again in the near future. The clubhouse also features an awesome bar and restaurant with stunning views which is worth a visit alone.
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.
January Golf
There are 2 courses at ChampionsGate. The National and the International. They are very different courses. I was hoping Golf Advisor would provide the ability to review them separately - but there is no such option.
Anyway, both courses are great with the International being more challenging. If it's your first time, you should consider moving up a tee or playing with someone with local knowledge. Hazards and hidden trouble are creeping all over the place (particularly on the International). Courses were in top shape and the greens rolling fast for January.
It's not cheap by any means but there are third-party sites to secure less expensive tee times if you do some research.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We're so glad that you enjoyed both of our courses and we hope you join us for another round soon.
International
All services. Excellent staff. Couture played long. Wet. Needs some sprucing up
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.
Great track.
Played from Black. 6 HC. Less trouble for a lefty. Very challenging. Rough was just cut so lost 2 balls in thick-cut hay. So keep it in play! By #12, I was "conditioned". A little pricey so can't play that often. A nice treat to see a perfect Bald eagle!
