Rating 76.3

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.

International was OK

Not sure why I was expecting more must be in the name International, even though I have played it several times over the years. Course was ok, staff friendly and professional in their approach. Loved the pace of play as we did not have to wait.

First time to play the course. It was challenging with really good bunker and water placement. I look forward to playing it again!

Solid but tough course

Golf course was solid but not my favorite. Didn't readily have golf carts available due to a tournament going off that day. Managed to get one about 20 minutes before our tee time got a lift to the range but had to walk back and carry for the hour and a half that we had to prepare. The course is difficult with small greens and small miss areas. It's not something I normally expect from a resort course. It was fine but we also played Disney Palm and I felt for the extra 40 bucks we paid it was a superior course.

Best links course in Orlando!

🏌️‍♂️🌴 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪: Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate - International Course 🌴🏌️‍♂️

A True Links Experience:

From the first swing to the final putt, I was immersed in the essence of a genuine links course. The fast fairways and greens provided an exhilarating challenge, rewarding well-placed shots and strategic thinking. The unique layout, with its fair share of elevation changes, kept me on my toes and added an extra layer of excitement to the game. 🏞️🏌️‍♂️

Breathtaking Scenery:

The International Course at Omni Orlando Resort offers breathtaking scenery throughout its 7,363 yards. The sweeping views of rolling fairways, wild grasses, and natural contours truly transport you to a classic links golfing experience. Every hole felt like a journey through nature's finest canvas. 🌾🌅

Perfectly Maintained:

With a course rating of 76.3 and a slope rating of 143, the International Course is designed to challenge even the most seasoned golfers. The ChampionsGate team deserves a standing ovation for their impeccable course maintenance. The fairways were in pristine condition, and the greens were lightning fast but true, providing a putting challenge that I thoroughly enjoyed. 🌟👏

If you're seeking a true links adventure with fast fairways and greens and an abundance of elevation changes, make sure to add the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate - International Course to your must-play list when visiting Orlando. 🌟⛳️

Amazing

Really enjoyed this course. Everything was good minus the typical resort course issues from people not repairing ball marks and divots.

Very disappointed

I play here three or four times every October. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years. I was stunned at the poor quality of the fairways and the amount of weeds and basically crabgrass on all the tee boxes. In addition, the driving range is not available and that was not indicated on either Golf Now or on the website as much as we could find. They are charging $116 at a time when most other courses are charging discounted rates. We have found many more courses in better condition at lower prices this year. I hope they will be getting it back together again the future, but at this point, I would not come back to play again at this price.

Really nice course but difficult

The staff were amazing and the carts have GPS and we got range balls with our green fee. They also give you towels (as it was really hot that day) and 2 bottles of water. The course was in really good condition and the green were nice and soft even with the heat. Lots of sloped fairways though which we found challenging.
