Course Highlights
The International Course impresses with immaculate fairways, well-maintained tee boxes, and a challenging links-style layout featuring pot bunkers, mounds, and strategic water carries. Attentive staff delivering cold water and towels, smooth pace of play, and included amenities like range balls and valet make this a standout Orlando experience.

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.

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

Championsgate International

This was a technical course to me. Shot placement is key. Windy conditions made it challenging. Moved to the white tees after playing the front from blues. Too far off the fairway and bye bye ball. Rough is THICK.

Long and challenging. Shots off the fairway penalized by tall weeds. Requires using all clubs in your bag. We played in 95 degree weather so not many golfers out there. Overall a very nice golf course. The golf starter was very nice and helpful.

Played both courses there & they are in great condition. The pace of play was great, about 3 hours. Greens were a little slow but great for average or casual golfer, the way resort courses should be. Rather have fun than be frustrated!

We were delayed by 1 hour due to pouring rain. Once on the course, it had drained well. The greens were super fast, entire course manicured. If you are looking for a true links course, I highly recommend this course!

Champions Gate International Course

Practice facilities - excellent. Could have hit balls all day!!

Course in fantastic condition - found it a tough test from blue tees - just under 7000 yards - par 3’s all around 200 yards apart from 1. Would love to play it again - highly recommend it.
