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.

Amazing Experience

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.

Links course with awesome staff

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

Good test

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.

One of the better ones in Orlando

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

What a fun course

Had a blast playing the International Course at ChampionsGate. Fairways and greens were great. Course was challenging from the blue tees but very fun nonetheless. Staff was helpful and friendly! Practice facility was on point. Found a good deal to play early morning.
