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.

Very Links feel, LONG par 4 with water on the right short to medium and water left near the green requiring a long carry if you are in the left fairway. TOUGH Photo submitted by Gage6692955 on 10/06/2012

Nothing much to say
Great course great greens and superb layout. Well all you expect from Championsgate really. Never been disappointed and I have been playing here every September for the last 15 years.

Outstanding! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
Bunkers
Course fairways and greens were in good shape. Still some signs of aeration on the greens. Most bunkers had water or grass growing in them and were in unplayable shape.
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.
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.
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 course!
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.
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!
Great courses
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!
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.
Great Links Layout
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!
Outstanding! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course despite the heavy rain beforehand. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
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 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.

Nice
Enjoyable round, greens were good pace, only comment would be the greens staff change the hole positions on a lot of greens within 3/4ft of the old ones (maybe because of drainage) I had a few putts that were resting in old hole marks, not a negative just feedback.

What A Fun Course
This was my first time playing the international at champions gate and I was very impressed. I’ve played many of the public courses in the Orlando area since moving here in 2017, and this was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had.
The links-style layout is very unique compared to most courses in the area, and forces you to think strategically about every shot. The conditions were excellent from tee to green. The fairways can be very narrow and the greens were hard so it can be tough to get approach/chip shots to check up, but that’s links golf. It also has nice views for a resort course, and many holes are far enough away from the resort that they manage to be peaceful.
I had a lot of fun playing the international and for the price you really can’t beat it. We got a hot deal for $40 earlier in the day which was well worth it, but I’ve seen afternoon prices as low as $20-$30, which is an absolute steal.
Terrific! Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Excellent! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
Amazing
Beautiful course, it’s in great shape and the holes are set up nicely.
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.
Tough but fair!
This is the Second time I’ve played this course. If I can make one recommendation to any first timer, played to keep the ball in play. If you’re 1 inch off the fairway you are in calf high grass. Accuracy is of the utmost importance, so take a shorter club and keep it in the short grass.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Terrific! Come back soon!
Great course in great shape
The course is in great shape. Fairways are great. Greens are hard and fast. Overall this is a phenomenal golf course that's definitely worth playing.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you found us to be a great value. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Excellent facilities and course,
Son and I arrived to the course early so wife and daughter could go shopping and check us into our resort.
Practice greens and chipping area were great, driving range had well maintained grass hitting zones, but the range balls were not refilled and we nearly ran out. There was a morning tournament the ended around 1:45. To fill the course they had groups going out on both 1 and 10 tees. Which caused a back up for us when we came or the back nine and headed to front nine.
. Entire course was well maintained. We were able to try out callaway rogue irons and epic flash face driver and fairway woods as course loaners, was not impressed with the clubs.
There were no cart girls and it got hot in the afternoon could have used some drinks
Awesome! We're pleased that you and your son enjoyed our course and our practice areas. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Fantastic! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
