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 day
Played both courses on the same day. International in the morning and National in the afternoon. Entire facility is superb. Both courses were in terrific shape and provided two different experiences as advertised. The entire staff from bag drop to pro shop to restaurant to starters were all friendly and accommodating. Had a great day and would recommend this resort to anyone
Love Championsgate
Greens were rolling nice, course well maintained. Interesting fun lay-out. I prefer the National course more, but the International is growing on me
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!
Yes it has great features
The staff were very welcoming! I used valet parking because the parking was full! The bar is lovely so is the golf shop! Had a great day! Will be going back next week! Thank you Golf Now for these great deal offers.

First class
Course was in great shape
Fairways very good
Greens a good speed and rolled true
Bunkers- sorry did not hit in any but the other players did not complain
Solid test - played blue tees - international a little over 6700 yards
Plenty of room off the tee
Pars 3 s except for the last one all were 195 -215
Only issue was pace of play
8:50 tee time
Teed off 15 minutes late
Played in 4:35 minutes
Generally the result in people in front of us playing wrong tees
First time playing but I will be back
Very comparable to Orange County National as far as condition and test
Range was in good shape as well
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.
Wonderful! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
Love it
I have played there before. One of the best. If i lived closer I would play more often.
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.
Mostly wide open…
Played as twosome and the pace was very good. The course is of rather moderate difficulty. Water is mostly aside the fairways and not in play if precise straight shots are played – even on a windy day like we’ve had. Because many of the long sand traps by the lakes were marked as GUR, the course has less challenge. Tee boxes and fairways are mostly in very good condition. Some bunkers need attention. Greens are partly huge, well maintained and rather fast. Staffs are cordial and the Pro shop is well equipped. The only negative is the huge number of houses aside the fairways on a part of the course, but this becomes a problem almost everywhere…
Overall it is a nice place to go, though there are several courses in the neighbourhood of at least the same quality. But the hot deal offered by Golfnow.com was a very good rate.
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.
Slow back 9
Played a great front and ran into a super slow back 9. Maybe 1:40 on the front and 2:50 on the back. Nice course, but for $100 plus let's move along
Awesome! Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had an incredible time and we appreciate your feedback. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Good layout
I enjoyed the challenges of this track. Be warned its a true links course so if you are not in the fairway say bye bye to your ball in super tall and thick knee deep grass. Greens were good but not quite as fast as proclaimed in tbe pro shop.

Course is in great shape
Whole course is in really solid shape. Best I’ve seen in a while actually. Still a little overpriced compared to other options, but a great track and a decent price for this time of year.
Fantastic! 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 track, but very overpriced.
This is a very nice course, people are friendly and they have a great facility, but they’re prices are very steep this time of year and I’ve heard it’s about to get worse.
If they’re doing this for crowd control, great job!
Besides their price, this is a place to play.

Absolutely great course
Absolutely great course in excellent condition. The greens were so pure could have pitted on them all day. Best greens I have played on in a long time.
Out early and round in 2 hrs 50 mins.
Great layout with some thought needed lots of water to avoid.
Will definitely be back

Normans place...
I played this course a number of times since it opened and i can honestly say its never looked better then today...The maintenance staff is doing a fantastic job keeping the course in top notch condition.Its as good or better then any course in Orlando . Also all the operation staff were very helpful and friendly before , during , and after my round. Way to go Championsgate all course could learn something from your service.....
