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.

bad course

the greens were in bad condition, the ball was bouncing a lot, they had different speeds, the tees were in very bad condition with no grass. and they charged me a high price for the course being in bad condition and carpet only.

Cart path only prior to reseeding

We booked the round on GolfNow and there was no mention of cart path only. When we arrived at the course, we were informed that it was cart path only. They said they were reseeding the next day. The tee boxes and greens were in excellent condition, but fairways were worn and not in good shape. Hopefully reseeding will fix that.

Love this course.

One of my favorite courses in Central Florida.

The greens were punched two weeks ago. Still healing and bumpy. Cart Path only due to overseeing. This is expected this time of year and makes for a nice course.

Our pace was very good considering cart path only. 4 hours. Only had to wait for the group in front of us after the turn. Some stop for food, we did not so we caught up to them on 10th tee. The ground crew was very respectful for noise while playing your ball.

Staff is incredibly friendly from bag drop to stater to the pro shop and snack/drink cart girl.

Disappointing

Arrived 30 minutes early. Charged $2.00 for "environmental fee". No one on tee, but was not allowed to go early. Starter told me as a single, I would have to wait out on course, so I might as well wait on at starter shack. Two foursomes were sent out after the arrived from range. When my time came, other 2 of group I was paired with were no shows, so I went as a single behind the slowest foursome on planet. 2:15 to play a scramble. Fairways were thin on grass, greens were slow and bumpy and had been aerated recently. Not a good day. Will probably not return. I do not normally give a bad review, but the experience was terrible.

Not up to muni standards

This course does not live up to it's reputation as a premier golf facility. One would expect a course that bills itself to be one better courses in the area would be better maintained. Sparse grass on tee boxes and around the greens often left us playing from bare dirt. Same could be said for the fairways were the grass was so thin that it was a toss up if there would be grass under the ball for approach shots. The greens appeared to have been punched with in the last couple of weeks but little has been done to manage the recovery leaving most greens extremely bumpy looking like bubbles in a bubble bath. It was pure luck of the bounce to make a put of over 3 feet.

We saw the "overseed" warning on the Golf Now site but in this case it appears to mean that we will not be maintaining the course until the winter rye fills in. Given all the great golf in this area, I strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for your next round of golf.

Not worth the money

Greens aerated 2 weeks ago… I get that and they let u know. However fairways have spotty grass, mud and dirt. Very poorly kept. Not up to caliber of fairways at similar priced courses. Save your money !

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.
