ChampionsGate Golf Club - International

I was expecting more. Overall the course is in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways, many many bunkers are all pretty good. Very good in most areas. Just not great around the edges. At all. Sparse areas with very little grass surround way too many fairways. Just really lacking details. Sounds like I’m being picky, but the International course is supposed to be one of Orlando’s best. Always used to be and they charge a fortune to play here just about all year round. Right now it’s affordable but what I see has def been there for awhile. The greens are the last thing. WAY too many weeds and patches of, I’m not sure what. Different grass? Weed areas? Fungus?

They putt fairly smooth but you need to catch the course early in the day, as the diff grasses grow at diff rates. Late in the day is not as smooth. Again it sounds like I’m being picky, but this is Championsgate. Everyone expects much better! Hard to recommend. CGCC is right down the road and separate from this resort. Better conditions overall.

The course in general was great but the greens were amazing. They were fast but not too fast and the putts were clean and true. Some areas were cut a little too short but the course was in great shape overall. Not sure why courses in central Florida cut the fairways too short but they always do. We will definitely be back to this course again!

Kevin was the most gracious starter and he even checked in on me throughout my round. Very good day

Nice course with excellent condition but challenging..played blue tee so it was long..greens were fast and had true rolling..staff were very friendly..will definitely play again

If you're looking for a challenge, the International course is for you. Narrow fairways, firm greens, and bunkers galore. The course will.test every aspect of your game and requires continual focus.

The staff was great, and I cannot wait to play the course again.

The course was lovely and played well. Longer with a links layout and in great condition. What really makes this course standout is the staff. From starters to marshalls to wait staff and bag team; everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. That made a day of a very memorable round

Course is in good condition with the odd tea box being a bit bare. Staff were excellent, friendly and gave great advice on playing the course.

Pace of play was 3.5 hours, which slow for a two ball, the course is primarily organised around 3 & 4 balls, so was quite happy. Group in front were not keeping up so jumped from 9th to 11th and staff were happy for us to return to 10th at the end of round.

Only oddity was seeing a 6 ball putting out on one of the greens. I suspect they tee’d off late afternoon and course were happy for them to play.

Overall enjoyed the round and course.

Always fun playing here. First time in about 15 years. Course was in great shape, greens nice. Not overly fast but rolled true. Fairways were plush. Definitely a must play when you’re in Orlando
