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.

It's a beautiful design, but the condition has dropped significantly in the past several years. The tee boxes used to be like a beautiful putting green. The pro shop staff were cold. Not welcoming at all. Disney built this community. The golf staff could learn from Disney how to treat Guests. The starter was not in his location, so we headed to the first tee. Before we teed off, the starter pulled up and scolded us not to EVER bypass the starter. While on the course, the maintenance crew ran over two of our golf balls, one while we were standing very near it. I swear the driver did it on purpose.

A course with tremendous potential, but they are not even close to reaching it.

Celebration -- A Course to Celebrate

Celebration is one of my favorite courses in Orlando and it did not disappoint. The course is in great shape. The greens were plugged a few weeks ago, but there was little difference in how they normally play. They were true to where you putt the ball and the speed was just a little slower than normal. The holes from plugging are all filled in and did not affect the line of your putt at all. I made several long putts and the bermuda greens are running true.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pace of play was excellent.

Still One Of My Favorite Courses

I always play Celebration Golf Club when I visit the area. I have played this course about 6 or 8 times at various times throughout the year and it is always in good shape. On this occasion, heavy rain the two previous days forced cart path only play and despite making the round take a little longer, the experience was positive with the course being wet but playable. What I like about this course is that it can play as difficult as you would like based on the tees you choose but is challenging none the less. Even though it is located in the Celebration community, it still has many scenic views. I will definitely play this course again next time I am in the area.

My Birthday around

The overall course was in great shape. Always enjoy playing here. This time the staff was not friendly at all and not one person advised me it was Cart Path only. Club House where I paid, the starter nor the people who got me my rentals. Just having knee surgery did not make my round enjoyable, but since I paid I had to play.

Was not impressed with the starter as I found him very negative when I asked him about course layout to refresh my memory. Plus he did mention it would take me at least 5 hours to play.

Great course!

First tee time of the day (7am) and the staff and grounds were ready to go! Conditions were awesome considering the abundance of rain in the prior days. Well done, we'll be back soon!

Fantastic course

Third time playing Celebration GC, always a fun round. Teed off early to beat the August heat, pace of play was excellent (although only one group in front of us), staff friendly and course in excellent condition. Greens had been treated and were playing slower but still great. Lots of variety and risk/reward holes. Highly recommended.

Great course. Slow play.

Some of the best staff I've run into while playing. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and a great overall experience. Course is a very fun challenging layout. Not the longest course but need to be accurate with your shot. Unfortunately pace of play was very slow. 5+ hour round in 101 degree heat will ruin any round.

Not worth the money

Course layout is nice but greens were aeriated and covered in sand. No cart service and very slow play on the back nine.

A must play in Orlando area

The course was in great shape overall. Some green especially on the front nine are a bit bumpy but nothing crazy. The fairways are great, some of the tees are somewhat rough but again not an isuue at all. Great place to play, a fair test for different handicap levels.

Nice layout, bumpy greens

this is a nice course, spoiled by greens that were very bumpy. Somehow they got them reasonable fast, but also uneven. Putts rolled and bumped to the hole.

Conditions other than that were good. Some hidden hazards, so be careful.
