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.

Rude Marshall/ranger

We finished our round in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Yes we were a bit slow and it was fair to be notified by him. However after warning us he proceeded to follow our group for every single hole until we were done. Mind you I was solo, the other 3 were tourists from the UK. Quite the impression. So basically our group payed +$160 each to be harassed.

Nice course

Always enjoy playing Celebration. Pace of play was outstanding. threesome behind a foursome and we got done is just over 4 hours. Conditions were great given the rain earlier in week. Greens rolled true and held good shots.

Nice course , good conditions.

The only negative was pace of play . It took 5 hrs to play the course . This was not the fault of any of the players , we consistently have 3 groups on each hole . We consistently got to the next tee and the group ahead of us was on the tee or just leaving . On the par 3’s we got to the next tee and the group ahead of us was waiting to hit and the group hey we’re waiting for was on the green or just approaching it .

The ranger was on the course but could not do anything. There were too many people on the course .

I dnt know the tee time difference between groups but it may have caused the problem . They may have to increase that to allow a 4.5 hr round , which is called for at this course.

Great conditions and layout

I've played about twenty of the Orlando courses, and thus, one would be towards the top of my list for a few reasons. The driving range, for starters, is really unique and the grass was well maintained. The course had a pretty fun layout with no two holes feeling the same, but you had to hit your shots! The greens were quick for having rain the few days before. One of my favorite things was the fact the wait times were so minimal… we flew through 18 holes and with so many tee options, any golfer could have fun

Best Course on My 2024 Orlando Trip

My wife and I played 9 different courses on our 2024 trip to Orlando. None of them over $400 with Hot Deals. We both agreed that “Celebration” was definitely the best as far as course layout, hole character, and course condition. Excellent !!

Cart path restricted

Due to rain the previous two days, carts were restricted to the cart paths even though the course wasn’t that wet. This was a huge inconvenience and slowed play down considerably. Plus, most of the pin placements were ridiculously placed and increased the difficulty and slowed play a great deal more. All of this significantly reduced my enjoyment of the course.

Always pricey for out of time people

We love this course but always find it a little pricey for out of state golfers so it’s a once a year treat if we find a deal.

Worth a visit

Lovely course, very well maintained, greens good. Great range facilities with three island greens. Certainly worth a visit albeit I feel somewhat overpriced And there are a number of more challenging and interesting courses in the vicinity which are not quite as pricey. Certainly worth one visit.

Green Fee Issue

Reserved 36 hole tee times for 8 golfers on 11/19/2023 and was told the 36 green fees would be $248 per person and include lunch.

When we arrived at the course to check in for our morning tee time they wanted to charge us $367 for 36 holes. After speaking with the manager we were able to get the green fees reduced but not to the $248 per person I was quoted when reserving the tee time. This is the second year in a row this has happened to my group and we will not be playing there in 2025.

If you make advanced tee times make sure the the tee time confirmation include the amount for green fees.

Fantastic place to play!

Everything about this place is fantastic save one or two chopped up tee boxes. Fantastic maintenance, great layout, perfect conditions. One of my favorite places in Florida. Play early or late for speedy round with little traffic.

Overall good experience, with a few exceptions

Pro shop restaurant and attached amenities are very nice. Nice separate putting and chipping greens(read the signs, clearly marked). I saw 2 people chipping and hitting lob shots onto the “putting” green!

Course layout is good, and pace was acceptable, not great.

The disappointing issues were, a few tee boxes, greens and several spots in fairways were in poor condition! Then when finished, we could not drive the carts to our car in the small parking lot! These issues were disappointing for this type of facility!

But, again it was overall a good experience.
