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 course
Had a 45 minute rain delay but once on the course really enjoyed it and it played at pace
In good shape
This the time of year to play this course as it wasn't crowded at all. In good shape and we played in 3 1/2 hours. A wonderful layout and a course you want to play as well as Champions Gate Country Club next door. Right now in pristine condition as good as Bermuda course can be.
Excellent! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and that you were able to play at a good pace. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Nah
Course conditions, amazing..greens rolled true. Staff, terrible. Brutal. the starter was a jerk (told us it was his course and he makes the rules). Won’t come back
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course but we apologize that our staff didn't leave a great impression on you. This is not the kind of customer service we strive to provide our guests and we would love the chance to learn more about your time with us. Please reach out to us at 407.787.4653 and ask for either Jake or Patrick. Thank you again and we look forward to speaking with you!
Championsgate International is a fantastic course
The international course at the Omni Resort is spectacular and challenging. The winds keep you cool from the summer heat, but plays havoc with your shots. Truly a well manicured course with consistent, quick greens. Best place to play in the four corners for the money and challenge. You will not be disappointed. In fact after playing, I am considering joining as a member.
Terrific! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We would be honored to have you as a member and we can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
This course was a lot of fun
From start to finish this course was absolute fun. From the practice green to the driving range to the course itself was a blast. Will definitely be coming back to play again and again.
Wonderful! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and all of our practice areas. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Wonderful! Come back soon!
Championsgate International Course Continues to Lead in the Area
I play this course with some regularity and it continues to lead the entire area for quality of course conditions, staff friendliness and amenities. The fairways and greens are in top condition and I couldn't be happier with the experience at Championsgate. Bravo to the entire team!
Outstanding! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your kind words and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Great! Glad you enjoyed your time with us!
Excellent course
Played here end of March during a golf trip. Really well maintained course. Friendly staff. More of linksy style than their National course. And definitely harder. Greens rolled true. Beautiful views! Highly recommend this course
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Great course
Challenging course, very well maintained and really nice to play! Highly recommend it, especially if you like Links designs, playing for position and risk/reward holes.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Outstanding! Come back soon!
Gorgeous Course & Conditions
First time playing the international course at Omni. This course is PRISTINE. From tee to green it is absolutely beautiful. We had a steady 5-10 mph wind most of the day and the wind was either helping you or hurting you. Most holes it's in your face. They re-did the greens about a year ago with Bermuda and they are like glass. Hard as a rock, VERY fast on this day (probably a 12) but in absolutely PERFECT condition. This is a MUST play in central florida.
My ONLY gripe about my round is that my cart was horribly slow. Felt like there was a bad connection or a bad battery terminal that wasn't making solid contact and it would just putt along. I tried to change it out at the turn and the guys at the cart return weren't too thrilled since I played twilight hours and they probably didn't want to clean / roll another one out. So he put it in 'neutral' and pumped the gas a few times and said "That'll fix it" .. Well, it didn't and I dealt with a dud of a cart for the entire round. That's the reason It didn't get a 5 star on staff friendliness.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed your first time playing our International Course. We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and we appreciate your feedback on our carts. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Summary
Played the International. Good layout. Hard and fast greens. Unfortunately, when I complete the front 9, and came up to the 10th tee, they have groups tee up from 10th which is frustrating. Have to wait and pace slowed down tremendously. Not a good idea to start groups on 1st and 10th when you have groups completing front 9 and coming to the 10th.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We apologize that the pace of play slowed down on the back 9 and we appreciate your feedback. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
great golf course
Fantastic course, played off the back black tees 7.200yards
Wonderful! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We look forward to having you back again soon!
Tough, pristine links course
Everything about the International is top notch. Staff is great. Fairways and greens are near-perfect. The course is really difficult, but a lot of fun.
Fantastic! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed your experience with us.
Too slow for a single player at twilight
The course was busy with 4 balls so even though i picked a late start (4pm) i caught up with a chain of 4 balls by the 6th hole.
Luckily at the turn i spoke to the starter and he was kind enough to allow me to play the front 9 again so i did complete 18 holes although it was the same 9 but if i had stayed on my original full 18 i suspect i would only have got round 14 or 15 holes
The course was in great shape and had i been in a group and playing earlier it would have been a great place to play
Great! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and we appreciate your review. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
great course
Had a heavy rain on the 3rd hole. The course was very wet, many pools or water in some fairways, but the greens were still very fast. Overall a very good course.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course despite the heavy rain. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
This course was in excellent condition
Tough test, great layout and in excellent condition. Thanks
Excellent! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We appreciate your review and we can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
Great course!
The course was in great shape and provided a fun round. It can be an easy test unless the wind is blowing. Pace of play could have been better.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Hi. Thank you so much for the great review in spite of the rain delay. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate - International Golf Club.
