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.

Good course!
Nice course and green. Love the complimentary valet. Would come back for sure! On vacation and its the best course so far.
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.
Excellent! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We're also pleased that our staff left a great impression on you and that you were able to play at a good pace. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Outstanding! Come back soon!
Overrated course
First time playing the International course.. The staff was not over friendly. Driving range was bare and totally packed.
Course was in so so condition, so overpriced at the $90 we paid. Pace of play was terrible at 4 hours and 50 minutes. No rangers at all to move play .
I will not be going back here
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't fully enjoy your round with us. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll give us another try in the future!
Not worth full price
My wife and I played for $69 each. Rack price was $144. From a value perspective it was worth about $80. Range balls included which was nice. Greens were in great shape and fast. Some of the bunkers were not playable due to high water table. Aesthetics not that great as course runs through housing development. Would have liked a set of tees between 6900 and 6200 yards as that is quite a gap. Finished 18 holes in 4:15 so pretty good. Falcons Fire in my opinion was in better shape and more enjoyable.
Great! We're glad that you and your wife enjoyed your round with us. We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations 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!
Challenging course, but pace too slow
Challenging course, great layout , but the pace was too slow for our foursome. We lost interest in playing, we won’t be back.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We apologize that the pace of play was slow and we will make sure to use your review to help us improve moving forward. We hope you'll give us another try in the future!
Challenging Course with the wind
This was my first time playing ChampionsGate International course. I really liked the course layout.
The course is part of the Orlando Omni resort. I really like when you pull up to the course there is someone to get your clubs and put them on your cart as well as valet park your vehicle. Nice touch.
They have a nice practice facilities (as they should as part of a resort course). The clubhouse is very nicely stocked as most resort courses are.
Great course layout in a links-style course. Tons of fairway bunkers. All the greens are shaped like an upside down saucer. If our approach shot to the greens is near the edge of the greens, your ball will definitely roll off the edge of the greens. The greens are challenging, quick, smooth and very nice with very few non-repaired ball marks.
The price is a bit too much for the overall condition of the course (just average conditions) except the greens which were very nice.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed your first time playing out International Course. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Golf trip
Played both courses and would recommend them both. Course conditions were very good and greens rolled well. Overall a great value for a golf trip.
Outstanding! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you found us to be a good value. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
First time-we will be back
Enjoyed the course and layout. Greens were great-smooth and rolled quick and true. Would like to play again as some local knowledge will go a long way
Fantastic! 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 for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Great! Glad you enjoyed your experience with us!
Expect more from a resort course
Just overall bad shape. Slow greens. Mud all over course and a hovercraft in swampy making so much noise could not even think for a few h holes. Also par 4 with layup off tee. HATED IT
