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 Time on the Links

Really enjoyed my time on the links. I was matched up with a wonderful couple, also on vacation. It took a little bit of getting used to playing from the gold or silver tees. my auto pilot says to play from the white tees, but those were for the ladies. All in all, the value was great andreally enjoyed the course.

First time

The course has a lot of water, but is fair. Fairways were a little thin throughout, greens and tee boxes were aerated but playable. There weren’t many on the course which was nice. I would recommend to others.

Course conditions

We found out the course was just aerated the day of the tee time.

The Tee boxes were sand pits. Very little grass, many of them were like standing in bunkers.

Fairways were very poor shape, lots of mud spots and no grass. We had to keep moving our ball to a grassy area on the fairway so we could take a proper shot.

The course ranger was consistently on top of us pushing the pace of play and admittedly we were not super fast but likely 10 minutes off pace. The ranger was rude when he approached us at the turn. If the course conditions were nicer than pace of play could have been much faster.

It’s not worth the money they charge for this course.

Great course

Service and course were top notch! That being said, I don’t play top courses. Pace of play was the only drawback. There was a wait at each hole.

Great course and wonderful staff!!

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Course was in good condition. The area has received and was receiving a lot of rain the day I played. Greens were rolling well. Overall, a great course that I would play again.

Course has gone downhill a bit since last year.

This course is notorious for not draining well and we had a lot of rain the day before. It was cart path only the entire course. That was rough. A large number of tee boxes are in bad shape. Some just dirt with a few sprigs of grass popping up. Quite a few greens were bumpy/lumpy. Ball was bouncing on the way to the hole. Maybe they haven't been able to roll the greens in a bit, don't know. There are some dead spots in some of the fairways. Definitely not the course conditions I played last year before the winter rates kicked in. It's definitely not worth the current rate, especially since it didn't come with lunch.

A great morning playing golf

I booked through GolfNow and got a really good deal.

The staff were super friendly and the course was in quite good condition even though there was a lot of rain the previous couple of nights.

The only slight and I mean slight grumble was the pace of play as we had to wait on every shot.

Not too bothered as we were on holiday and had nowhere to be.

I would definitely recommend to go and play

A Great Course But Not In Best Condition

I love playing the course when I arrive in Florida; however, this time the course was showing the effects of a long dry spell followed by recent thunderstorms.

Some of the greens were in poor shape, although the majority ran at a good pace; some bunkers were in very poor condition - understandable given recent rain - and the tees were often in a rather ropey condition.

Having said all that, the fairways and rough were decent considering everything, and I cannot fault the staff for their friendliness and help.

All in all, I was ok with playing one of my favourite courses - it is a great challenge off the gold tees - but perhaps for the first time, I question the value for money, given what I know the standard of the course can be.

Great Day at Celebration

Played Celebration yesterday in the “heat”. Because of heavy rains the evening prior it was cart path only, which slowed play a bit. Course was in great shape with the greens being very good overall. A must play when in the Orlando area.

Overpriced for Mediocre conditions

The conditions here have been poor for a long time. For what they're charging it's pretty upsetting. The course layout is fun and challenging, but I don't think I'll be back until I hear about significant improvements. There are too many better courses in the area with better value for money.

A lot of tee boxes are mostly dirt with very little grass. Many aren't level.

Greens are spotty with gaping dead spots.

There are tons of bugs in the air due to all the stagnant water surrounding the course. Why they don't have fountains to keep the water moving is a mystery.
