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 Round
A great round on a very windy day made for some very challenging holes but the overall experience was phenomenal. The greens were immaculate and rolled as true as they can. Tee boxes, fairways and even the rough were well manicured as well. I will be back again!!!
Amazing course
First time playing here, very challenging and fun to play course.
Pace could’ve been better, we still managed to finish 18 before 615, I think we are about 20 min behind pace.
Will come back again.
Outstanding! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible first time with us, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Nice layout
The course was in great shape. Would play again in a heartbeat!
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!
Excellent course
The course was in immaculate condition. Greens were rolling nice. Extremely difficult course more for lower handicap players. Driving range is included with green fee.
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!
Played National Side
Wanted to check it out so the starter moved me over at the same time as my Intl time. Had played Intl 3 times the past 6 months. Won’t play National again though. Nice course, decent shape...way too many short holes. First class facility though, will be back to The International again ASAP.
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 nice course
Due to heavy rains the fairways are longer than normal. Once they are cut it’s definitely a five star condition. Greens are pure and roll true and nice!
Today had a foursome with couple of professional (!) players taking more than three hours to complete the front nine. They didn’t let anyone through before the marshall showed up on the back nine. Other than those guys the pace was really good. Shame how one single group can cause so much harm.
Terrific! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time despite the slow play on the front nine. We hope to see you again soon! 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.
Challenging layout
I have played here multiple times and this was the first time I wish I would of waited to play a few days. They had over seeded the fairways and they were so thick, I spent time looking for my ball in the fairway. Greens were great but from tee to green, conditions were tough. Add that to the heavy watering and it made for a long day
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
ChampionsGate International

Awesome facility
I’ve played both courses almost every week and never had a bad experience. Both courses are always in excellent condition and the practice facility is one of the very best in Florida. But the most important of all are the staff. Every single staff is cordial and accommodating. There are many courses in central Florida to choose from but my very best experience for a public course is ChampionsGate. I highly recommend this organization. They know how to operate a golf establishment. Others should learn from them both in golf course management and customer service. I rate them at the perfect score. Randy
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.
Good but not great
Dull.and aesthetically underwhelming. While greens were fast there was sand all over. Fair2qys beat up with divots. For a links course, felt it was pretty dull and flat. I'm from Chicago metro and the links style course there at Harborside, Prarie Landing, and Highlands of Elgin blow it away. Played Shingle Creek day before and it was nicer quality resort course for cheaper. I'd pass.

A fun course that have the greens as its defense. Many birdie holes but an enjoyable time
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!
Perfect day and the course was a close second
Perfect weather. Course was in great shape except the traps which was in part due to the rain the previous evening. Greens were very fast and mostly true. Ranger moved along the group in front of us. Lunch afterwards was very good and the prices were fair. We'll be back!
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.
Champions Gate International
A must play in Orlando
I play it 2-4 times a year
Great value.. always in good shape
Fantastic! 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.
My son was home on military leave the weekend we played. From the minute we drove up and dropped our clubs off to the time we left the experience was perfect. The staff was amazing friendly and responsive from the pro shop to the restaurant. Pro shop had quite a selection of clothing for sale at great prices. The driving range was in very good condition with ample space. The starter was not only friendly but provided us with helpful tips for playing the course. The course design has a lot of "character" as each hole was unique in it layout. Ample doglegs and challenging par 3's were fun to play. Keeping ball in the fairways is important as the rough is tough yet fair. We had no waits as marshals insure a good pace of play.
What I appreciated most is how the staff reacted and thanked my son for his service. We will definitely come back
