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.

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.
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

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.

Good course!
Nice course and green. Love the complimentary valet. Would come back for sure! On vacation and its the best course so far.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and our amenities. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Tight tight and even tighter
This was not a forgiving course. Everything about it was tight. The smallest greens I have ever seen which ran kinda fast,8 maybe. Over all if your looking for a relaxing round of golf this ones not it. All the par threes not from the second tees were over 200. Cool place but come prepared to loose some balls!
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have you back again soon!
fivesomes?
What kind of course allows fivesomes. Apparently this one. And at least 2 marshalls decided to pass by and not stop them, so if you want to play with 4 others this is the place. The course is tough and we'll maintained. If you are not a regular though, be prepared to look out for yourself.
Fantastic! We're glad that you enjoyed our course conditions and the challenge of our layout. We appreciate your feedback and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Great day of golf
This golf course is in wonderful condition especially the greens. They were absolutely perfect rolling probably 11 every one of them. The best greens in Orlando right now by far. The pace of play was great and the service was great also from the valet, to pro shop (getting me out early, played in 3:45), the bag boys, and the course marshals. The weather was perfect and the International is one of the best layouts in Orlando. Due yourself a favor and go play it.
Outstanding! 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!
Thank you for your review! Come back soon!
beautiful course!
Course was in great shape. The greens were perfect. Fast and true. The course layout is beautiful. Plenty of sand and water but very playable. Lots of scenic vistas and wildlife. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Lunch at Pipers before round was excellent. Valet service included. Great value with hot deal from golf now but well worth the full price. Will definitely play again!
Fantastic! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We're also pleased that you enjoyed your lunch with us and that you found us to be a good value. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Great Course
Great course layout. Challenging, but fair. Greens are in great shape, and roll true. Staff is friendly and treat you 1st class from the valet checking in your car to the bag staff cleaning your clubs, and in between.
Terrific! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the challenge our course presented 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!
Challenging, but fun
The course was in good condition. The undulations of the holes and the sand bunkers create some challenging experiences. The front nine paced well, but the back nine had some back-ups causing the ranger to ask that everyone play ready golf which our group was. We had to wait to hit several times on the back nine due to the back up with the groups ahead of us. The cart girl came a few times, but one or two extra times would have been nice with it being a bit warm.
Awesome! We're pleased our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Fun Layout, but Overpriced
First time playing the international course, I found the layout to be rather enjoyable, and was definitely a challenge. The greens were the best part of the course, fast and true. The fairways and bunkers were average compared to other courses in the area at that price range. Overall it was a nice day on the course. However, at $129, I can't say the course would be worth it. I paid $97 through GolfNow and still think I overpaid compared to other courses in the area.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed the layout of our course and that our greens met your expectations. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!

Good course. Good layout and conditions. Greens were excellent. Pace of play excellent. Good bargain for the price I’ve paid plenty more to play worse. No complaints or issues.
