About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7023 yards
Slope 140
Rating 74.5

The 18-hole Celebration Golf Club in Celebration, FL is a public golf course that opened in 1996. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Celebration Golf Club measures 7038 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 140 and a 74.5 USGA rating. The course features 5 sets of tees for different skill levels. The greens are bermuda grass.

Father and son team of Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Jr. created a golfing experience that is second to none at Celebration Golf Club. As a result, Celebration is a championship venue with the park-like feel of a modern, Florida course.

They were also successful in creating separate personalities between the nines. On the front, many holes border wide boulevards lined on the other side by pre- 1940 replicate homes from America's southern region and that of Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. But with the back, the homes fade into the brush letting Mother Nature take center stage. Designed with shot-making strategy in mind, this championship caliber course demands accurate approach shots and consistent putting.

Great place but no beer or food when we finished !!

Having been a frequent visitor to Central Florida over the years , Celebration is a true favourite of our golfing group .

We picked up a couple of tee times around lunchtime for our party of 8

The course was in great condition as usual and the pace of play was good for a Saturday afternoon .

We achieved our target round time of 4 hours 15mins and finished our round at 6.20pm.

The major downside to the day was that having spent $1200 as a group on tee times, the whole of the catering operation was closed when we finished, which was hugely disappointing , not only to ourselves, but also to another 20 or so golfers who had also finished around the same time .

Golf courses quickly need to realise that offering post round hospitality is part of the experience and as this was our most expensive round of the week , we all felt a little bit let down , and expected better from a Premium resort .

9th Annual College Class Reunion

Annual SUNY Maritime Class of ‘69 Reunion. Course in great shape from tee to green however several greens had those pesky little round weeds and a few had burnt bare spots. Putting was running at an11 and wasn’t terrible despite the overall green conditions. Love the variety of holes., First year I didn’t see any gators.

Great Day in the Rain

Rained ALL Day, but this was our favorite course of our trip. Course is well laid out and fair. No long PGA forced carries, and you can see where you are to go. You play through the community, but the community is not in play. Wonderful experience even though it rained ALL day.

Quality Golf Experience

I took my Wife and Son here for an afternoon round on vacation. The driving range is fun on its own with the island greens and the practice area is well thought. Putting green, chipping green, and a 30-40 yard pitching area all in excellent condition.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in perfect condition in the first week of March. The front 9 is pretty wide open with. undulated greens and run offs so pay attention to the GPS approach view on the carts.

The back 9 tightens up, but it is fair with some serious risk reward holes. The houses along the course on the back 9 are spectacular and all unique.

We made another tee time for later in the week. It is a bit more expensive than a lot of courses in the area but I would rather pay more and play less for this type of quality.

Jon

I enjoyed the course that is why I came back each year and play. I was disappointed that you charges for range balls and limited what we could have in the lunch. When you are already paying $200 for the round that should be included, if you need to cover cost just raise the overall price instead of making the above stibulation

Pace of Play on front 9 was excellent. Not sure what happened on the back nine but things slowed down almost to a standstill. After moving briskly during the first 12-14 holes, it was disappointing to move at a snail's pace to the completion of the round.
