About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6757 yards
Slope 141
Rating 73.1

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 6757 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 141 and a 73.1 USGA rating. The course features 6 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.

Overall, it's ok

It's not a bad course, but there are several things about it I don't care for.

The first thing I don't like is they charge you a $2 "Environmental Fee" on top of the greens fee, which I consider to be chiseling. Prices should be set to cover expenses and profit without added nickel and dime charges which can't be avoided. Perhaps they are trying to virtue signal how green they are.

The second thing I don't like is their practice of forcing strangers to share golf carts, which I also consider chiseling. I played at Shingle Creek the other day, was paired up with two other singles, and we all had our own cart.

The third thing I didn't like on this occasion was the crabby, weird ranger. On the 6th hole, he told our foursome that we needed to speed up even though we were playing at less than the course recommended 15 minutes per hole pace and there was no one in front of us or behind us. He also said we should not have let a single play through us a few holes earlier. Then, he was evidently so concerned about our pace of play we never saw him again. The rest of the staff was very friendly, however.

Lastly, the grass in the fairways and rough was quite sparse in a lot of places, which was perhaps due to the recent drought. But don't they have sprinklers?

So, it's not my favorite area course, although it is conveniently located to where I stay when I'm in town.

Nice Course and a favorite to play when here

i’ve played her a couple times prior. The course is a fun layout. Challenging. The only drawback is when it rains. It does get swampy here like other reviewers have said. So everything becomes car path only pretty regularly. I think this used to be a Disney property. But it’s still a fun course to play. In fact, I played twice when I was here for the weekend. Definitely one of the courses I play when I come in town if you can get a decent hot deal it’s definitely worth it. Don’t necessarily think it’s worth $120 summary they charge.

Great Robert Trent Jones Layout

I grew up playing a RTJ Sr. Course in Rochester, NY. Celebration reminded me of my old home course. Interesting layout with challenging greens. The course was in great shape given recent rains. Fairways were well manicured and the greens rolled true, but a bit slower due to the rain. I would definitely recommend this course.

The golf club was conveniently located, and the course layout was exceptionally well-designed. While the club itself was challenging, the experience was great.

Lovely Course - bring plenty golf balls!

Always in good condition though greens recently punched so not quite as good as usual.

Good layout though I’d forgotten how much water there was and how good I was at finding it! I almost ran out of golf balls!

Staff very friendly and the range is always fun hitting into water.

Not a huge fan of the “free lunch” that’s included, and not optional. With no drink or side included, and 20% gratuity on what the bill should have been, my “free” lunch cost $14. Don’t get me wrong it’s good value, but a cheaper green fee with no lunch should be an option.

Course has seen better days

The course needs some improvements to compete with the other higher end course in the area. I played Lake Buena Vista the week before they shut down for renovations and it was in better shape than Celebration. Greens were not fully cut and had top dressing none of which was not mentioned during booking. Making the greens run slower than other courses in this price range. Multiple holes had patches of grass removed. The rough was thinner than normal, to the point it was like playing off the dirt on multiple shots. The water at the comfort stations tastes like chlorine, so we took a 5 minute break at the turn to fill our cups and cool down. Due to the delay we were promptly met on the 11th hole telling us we are playing 12 minutes behind pace. Mind you we had kept up the entire day, only delay was from the lack of drinking water. The starter forgot his personality- at the beginning of our round i wanted to sit in the shade under a tree and got yelled at that it was not our turn to go. Frustrating course conditions and unfriendly staff are the reason for my poor review. I hope they either lower prices to meet expectations or improve conditions to former glory.

A challenging course in great shape and great deal but need patience

My wife and I played this course several times this year 2026 and find the couse in excellent condition. It's a challenging course with water in many holes.The greens run true and in great shape with tough pin positions. Because of its proximity to the resorts, many tourists and some in big groups play here. The tee times are quite well packed so expect slow play and lots of patience. The drinks cart makes frequent visits so you wont go thirsty. The bar and restraunt are very nice and serve yummy foods. The staff are knowledgeable and polite. I would recommend this course.
