Fantastic Greens!

Course was in great shape overall. Greens were solid. A bit slow, but rolled great.

Pace of play was abysmal however. Ranger did not seem to do anything to make it move faster.

Conditions were very good for February golf… would recommend a must play if your in the area. It is difficult to book a time if you don’t look well in advance.

Nice staff, but course is pretty boring

Staff is great, but the course was underwhelming for the price. No real feeling of nature that other courses offer. Just houses and a few small lakes. 4/5 because the conditions were great especially for a cold day and the staff was very accommodating. I would not come back because the price didn’t match the experience of similar priced courses.

Always Fun

Championsgate is a regular play when I’m in the Orlando area. The course was in good shape and the greens rolled fast. The pace of play was okay for this busy time of year. I would suggest not playing on Wednesday mornings as there is a men’s league that slows down play. Otherwise, give it a shot.

Nice course, well maintained

Like this course but question whether it’s worth the price of the morning tea times. Always well maintained and pace of play well monitored. Rarely see an on course trolley/ refreshments service.

Always love this course

I would consider this course on the higher end of the scale but worth the money. The course is always in top shape. It was 5 degrees and very windy, and winter conditions today but still enjoyed the round. Greens are still perfect as always. Well maintained course and nice practice facilities.

I do find the staff there a bit on the unfriendly side but this time may have just been the cold weather. We are 8 and 9 handicaps if that helps. We always return when in Orlando.

Disappointing

We played Disney Palm the day before and the whole experience was night and day. Granted Disney was $80.00 more but even at the $140.00 rate for Champions Gate we were all very disappointed. It was more "muni" experience than Florida resort, that is for certain. The layout of the course is quite good though more spread out than any course I have ever played. The course condition was fair at best. And frankly the massive effluent areas on the course and accompanying warning signs are somewhat disturbing. There was literally no grass on the practice range, only sand. They would be better with matts. And perhaps worst of all, 2 of our players rented clubs which were over $68.00 each for mismatched beat up cobra's. Just did not expect all of this.

Vacation 2026

We purposely stayed in the Champions Gate community so we could be close to this course. It’s one of the better deals in the Orlando area. Great layout, challenging holes and very good greens. For pre round, they have a very large putting and chipping green and a nice range. Range balls are included in the price. I would highly recommend this course!

Great Condition, Challenging but Fun

The course is in really good condition and very well maintained. The layout is challenging, but fun for all golfers. Only complaint, if really won, is the members can be a bit pushy about pace of play even if you are keeping pace with the group in front of you.

Great Course

Stayed in the Homes on this Course, did not play till our last day in Orlando, regretted that decision as the course was amazing and awesome value compared to others we travelled to go play. Returning in 2026 and have already booked numerous rounds.

Great track, conditions and staff!

I came across a Groupon for golf lessons with Kevin, the course’s Golf Pro, and I’m really glad I gave it a shot. After the first lesson, I immediately signed up for four more. Since then, my game has improved dramatically.

I also started playing the course regularly, and it’s been a great experience. The greens are immaculate and roll true, the design is very well thought out, and everyone I’ve come across—from staff to members—has been down-to-earth and easy to talk to.

Highly recommend both the lessons with Kevin and the course itself.
