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

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!
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.
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!!!
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!
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
Great layout. Challenging holes. Great on and off course facilities. Easily reached off of I—4 from anywhere in Orlando area.
Wonderful! 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 course
Overall, great course and playing experience. Much better layout than the National.
