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.

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
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

poor pace of play, extremely slow
A great layout my 2nd time playing it and both times were slow this time I drove off the course after 4 hrs. and just stepping on to the 13th tee. Waited at least 5 minutes on every shot, would have been close to a 6 hr. round.; Five groups on #10 when we drove up. Never a course marshal anywhere, the pro shop said they were full with 200 rounds on both courses that was their excuse. Would never return for any reason or price with the attitudes of the staff. Just another over-priced high end resort course that could care less about the customer experience only the money.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout, but we apologize that the pace of play was slow. We also apologize that our staff didn't provide you with the customer service that we strive to provide all of our guests.

International a good test
The international course is a good test of your driving accuracy and bunker play out of the oh so many fairway bunkers.
Course was in great shape.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
My Assessment
The course conditions were very nice tee to green. The practice putting green and range were also very nice! Greens were rolling about an 11-12 but very true. Pace of play was a little slow but not too bad. I will certainly be back!
Great! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed our putting green. We appreciate your feedback on our pace of play and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Great! Come back soon!
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to have you back again soon!

Very impressive Golf Club. Now experience how the professional golfer plays. Will book again. Every person at the resort was polite and friendly.
Outstanding! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate you review and we can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Tough course for the bogey golfer
Course was in great shape.Greens were good but exceedingly fast.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed our greens. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Excellent round of golf
Challenging course with hard target greens, most protected by bunkers. A bit slow greens speed and the course was a bit wet. All in all a very nice course to play. Getting to the first hole of the International course is a bit challenging since you have to pass the 10th hole. Links syle course so no nearby homes, unusual for this area. Nice and very helpful staff. Great GPS on cart.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We're also glad that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Enjoyed it immensely
Great greens and a true test with the wind blowing
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our greens and our course despite the challenge of the wind. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!

Difficult beauty
This course often gets confused with its smaller brother the national. The international course is significantly longer and more difficult but equally as beautiful. I will review the national and all of the club's amenities in another post for that course. I played early in the morning and the pace of play got fairly slow by the eighth pole. It took us the better part of five hours to finish. The course is in excellent shape other than the fact that there is a lot of water on the course and in the sand traps. I was expecting the sand traps to be a little bit more sand and not so much mud. Other than that the fairways are inoculated as well as the greens. It is very easy to lose your ball if you stray away from the fairways. I would recommend this course for anybody but if you are of a more modest skill level stick to the whites. Staff is extremely friendly. Course and Clubhouse are excellent all around.
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!
