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 course, tough greens

Celebration is a great course with a great layout, and good practice facilities. The conditions of the course were overall great. The tee boxes were the only feature that were sub par; I'm guessing because the course gets a lot of play. The fairways were in pristine condition. The greens were immaculate and rolled true. The greens were particularly challenging with hard to read lines. Whoever placed the pins on this particular day was pretty evil as a lot of the pins were on slopes, making it impossible to hole some of the putts. Overall I give the course 4 stars because of the tee boxes, otherwise this would be a solid 5 star. The one negative thing is that the course was overseeded so it was cart path only. The staff was kind enough to give me a courtesy call a couple of days prior to my round to let me know that it was cart path only.

Excellent rapport qualité / prix

Le parcours est en excellente condition et est agréable à jouer. L’environnement est magnifique. Le seul hic: le bruit de la I-4 est perceptible sur les premiers trous. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.

I always enjoy playing Celebration Golf Course. The course was in over seeding process and I wasn´t aware of it during my booking so there was cart path only. Not a problem for me but it should be informed clearly when booking. We where paired with other 2 players and one of them drank heavily during the round and after first nine holes he was already wasted. After 13 holes his friend just took of because he couldn´t stand the situation him self. I find it rather strange that you can buy heavy alcohol at the course and players like me who are paired with someone we don´t know have to be stuck with such players.

Sorry but this was annoying and affected our experience at a wonderful course.

Rude

Solo player. 20 minutes early, was told to “blend in”.between two large groups. Group behind wanted me to rush group ahead. Won’t do that. Group behind reported me as cutting in front of them. I guess to move one spot ahead. Marshall rude. Left well before finishing. Waste of time and money, unprofessional.

Such a Rip-Off

$30 for a hot dog and a bag of chips. The only online booking option included a “meal”. Since it Was Thanksgiving the restaurant was only open until 230 or three and so our only option was to have a hotdog or sandwich with a bag of chips or a snack, no beverage included. $30! and we are from Canada so $30 is $40.

It was also cart path only, not because it was wet, but it was recently seeded. The green fee was more than $100 and we still had to pay for range balls.

Curse is very nice and it was a holiday but ridiculous cost.

Great Golf Experience

I played this course with my father in law & son for the first time for all of us. This is our favorite course in Orlando & in Florida! Conditions were still wet and not the best due to overseeing. So in a few weeks, the course will be in great shape. Very professional staff & lunch with the round…awesome value! Will definitely be back again!

Cart Path Only

Not sure why we are paying so much for a course that is cart path only. Slows down play and makes it difficult to play as well as your always guessing distances and what clubs to bring.

Overseeding victim

Love Celebration…. normally. This is ky favorite course in Orlando area…. normally. Overseeding was carried out so cart path only (I could have lived with that) but tees and fairways not mowed and with a pre 8am tee off time and sun barreling down on the fairways my foursome lost more than a dozen balls combined pretty much middle of the fairway, couple with cart path only it took us 4.30 to play at 7:45 am, endlessly searching for balls down the fairway. I should not have to pay full price when course is like this. I fou dit very disrespectful.

Overrated course

The fairways were being overseeded which is common for late October in Orlando. The staff was generally friendly and helpful as long as the manager did not get involved. He acted like he owned the course and spent more time berating his staff than accommodating players.

Since I picked the course and paid for the other golfers in my foursome, I relied on Golf Pass rating, which was a mistake.

Tidy course with interesting holes

Nothing not to like, nice design, usually in good condition, good greens and some nice houses not too close to the fairways.
