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.

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.

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.

Championsgate International Course Continues to Lead in the Area

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

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.

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.

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
