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.

STAY AWAY

Charging a premium rate, course is absolute trash, everyone knew it and could not care less because they got your money. I have played there 50+ times and I will never go back and make sure no one I know gives them a nickel of their money

Played here a few times over the year.Pace of play was fine.But the tee boxes are needing some work done.The green had been airated so for $90 I think it was a bit expensive.

Disappointing

I have played Celebration many times, and this round was very disappointing. Nobody mentioned that the greens were aerated, and the fairways were mostly sand with little grass. I rented clubs at full price but only received 11 clubs. There are many courses in the Orlando area at the same price or less and better quality.

Disappointed

I’ve played Celebration many times; but unfortunately this is the first time I was very disappointed in the course. Great layout and the staff were very friendly (with the exception of the impatient cart girl).

The greens were aerated and we were not informed . We have a group of thirty guys who flew down from NY and we booked this months ago. We should have be giving the courtesy to choose another course if they decided they were gonna aerate the course. Most of the fairways were dirt and muddy. I know there was recent storms but we played other courses that were in much better condition for a lot cheaper.

Disappointing

I was disappointed to see the overall condition of the course. The tee boxes and fairways were in terrible shape. Could have been due to hurricane damage. They must have punched the greens recently. They were bumpy and sandy. Never could get a good roll. There are too many other nicer courses in the area which offer a better value for your money.

Great Staff, But Be Honest About Course Conditions

I was excited to play Celebration after hearing about layout from friends who had played there previously. The staff were super friendly and helpful, but unfortunately, the course itself was a letdown. After paying and warming up, we were told by the starter that the back nine fairways were being scarified and weren’t in great shape. There was no mention of this on the website or when we checked in.

I figured it wouldn’t be too bad and teed off, but then I got to the first green and saw it had been punched too. I understand courses need maintenance, but this should’ve been communicated beforehand on the website. Courses I’ve played that are in this condition usually have a discounted rate but that was not the case here. For the price, I expected much better conditions or some kind of discount to reflect the state of the course.

The staff was great, but if you’re planning to play here, make sure to call ahead and check the conditions before you go. Really disappointing.

Nice course- terrible greens

The course is very nice but the greens were in terrible shape. All of the greens still had holes from aeration and no sand to smooth them out. You could not put without a hole knowing your put offline. This may have been due to Milton a few weeks ago, but should have been noted by the course.

Friendly staff and amenities.

Disappointing Greens

Played several times before. Today the pace of play was fine but the greens had been randomly spiked with very little sand put on. They were shocking!

Punched greens and poor pace of play

We played as a threeball on a Saturday morning. Disappointed to find the greens had been punched despite full priced green fee. Would have probably booked another course if we knew this in advance.

Was not informed of this until we asked starter after noticing the practice greens were punched.

Pace of play was also poor despite on-course rangers.

Greens???

What happened to notification when the greens were punched? Not fun to be surprised by punched greens that roll just like PLINKO when paying $75 for an afternoon round
