About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6757 yards
Slope 141
Rating 73.1

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 6757 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 141 and a 73.1 USGA rating. The course features 6 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.

Downhill....

The course overall was in ok shape. Some fairways were wet/muddy and it has not rained for the 5 days we have been here. The greens have small weeds about and some sandy patches. Overall, a 7 out of 10, and unfortunately it was cart path only due to recent overseeding.

The issue we had was the tee starter and course marshal. Tee starter talked trash about groups in front of us, playing second round and hitting extra balls of tee box. We paid for a "ride-along" since there were 5 of us, the 5th person enjoys walking but does not golf. Then on 3rd hole a single player comes up from behind, we intended to let him play through. As we do, he says to us that the Marshall's think we lied and are playing 5 players and they are watching us (calling us liars). Marshall showed up as we were waiting to let him through The Marshal wanted my two players playing white tees to go ahead of the single player, hit, while single finished on hole behind and stand to the side. I told him I was uncomfortable putting our players in front of player I do not know, he pushed us to do it. Sure enough, ball wizzed by, right side of fairway....DANGEROUS. Lastly, both Starter and Marshal show up on 8 tee box with another cart. Stated that our 5th person can NOT walk, that it was a "liability", even thoughthe starter watched us off of 1st tee. I never knew that walking was a liability! She actually assisted with bringing cart(s) forward since it was cart path only.

Lastly, after letting single player by, we were held up the rest of the round.... it was a 5 Hour Round! The long play and rude staff, we won't play again.

Not good at all.

The course was cart path only because of "maintenance", but what that really meant was the greenskeeper overwatered the fairways. The course was a mess, the fairways and tees were in terrible condition, there was crabgrass growing on the greens. We were speechless, how could they let this happen? Even better, we had a foursome in front of us that didn't have a care in the world. Thankfully, the ranger told them to pick up the pace and they finally did, but it was still almost a 5 1/2 hour round. Never again. Don't waste your money, there are so many great courses in the Orlando area. I guess you get what you paid for - lesson learned.

Poorly maintained

Overwatered everywhere. The worst greens I’ve seen in a while, and I like to play cheap munis. Tee boxes in bad shape. Fairways would be great if they weren’t mud pits. But at least they overbook so you can really take in the poor maintenance for 5 1/2 hours. Do not waste your money.

I can't believe he said that.

Playing behind 1st group out and we waited on every shot for 18 holes. After round I talked to 1 of foursome and he said he was watching the time and knew they weren't holding us up because they were on pace for a four hour round.

Disappointed

After talking up this course to my wife, who had never played it, I was thoroughly disappointed at the overall conditions. It used to be a premier course, but now it is sadly in need of some TLC. The old cars that they have by the putting green area and clubhouse Are in dire need of some fixing as they look terrible, and that just goes for the rest of the course overall. We booked the golf and lunch and found it. We could go elsewhere for a lot cheaper with a lot better condition. Sorry, but it’s the truth.

Course Conditions

Having played on this course a number times over the years I would say this is the poorest condition it has ever been presented whilst still charging a premium rate. A number of the greens were bare with no grass, we played on a temporary green, some of the bunkers had so little sand that it was like hitting off concrete. The tee boxes were very sandy and they struggled to hold the tee peg in position, with the amount of sand, grass was in poor condition.

It should also be noted that when renting clubs, you only get 11 clubs, you do not get complimentary golf balls.

Challenging on a damp course

My wife and I played Celebration as one of 5 courses during our stay. The day started of wet (light rain/drizzle) but soon stopped. Day was largely overcast. Course was cart path only, the reason for which became very clear on a number of fairways which were very wet and impacted on a number of shots. We were paired with a couple of nice guys from Kentucky. I played the mixed Gold/Silver tee option which was a unique experience. Water came into play on a lot of holes. Surprisingly I only lost one ball on a long drive over water. The greens ran true and were a good pace. Would like to return when hopefully carts are allowed on course and conditions are dryer as this would make a big difference. Pace of play was affected by cart path only and not having my own range finder. A number of shots were affected by judging distance from the cart path. Overall an enjoyable round of golf. Rain started again as we finished!
