ChampionsGate Golf Club - International

The experience my partner and I lived through this First game at Championgate International was above the feeling of professionalism.
It brought our golf game up to new levels.

The grounds were excellent and the staff were awesome, we had lunch at the bar which was perfect. Definitely will play there again

Great golf course. Would play there again BUT not for the money I paid. Booked a 12:50 tee time. The staff was very friendly but when I got to the starter he said they have 3 groups that have NOT made the turn yet? Mentioned I could go to the 6th hole and start from there to get ahead of the slow play group. Which was a group of 40 that put the entire course 1 hour behind. Started on the 7th hole and enjoyed the course from there. I did play the first 6 holes after the 18th so I did get in all 18 holes.

A great course in excellent condition and the starter could not have been more helpful and friendly

We had a great time playing ChampionsGate International course. The course is challenging, especially the long par 4s. Pace of play was a bit slow. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Course is tough in the wind with a tight layout. A good challenge for under 18 handicappers. Tough pin positions on the day I played.
2hours 40 for the 1st 9 is not acceptable though.
Condition was pretty good overall

We played this course for the first time and the ladies yardage off gold tees is 5487 and in this yardage are two par 3s at 98 and 105 yards so 16 holes total 5284 yards for 16 holes which is a too long for the average lady golfer, and for a gent to play giving the lady a fair chance I had to play off blue tees 6735 as the usual difference between ladies and gents is 1100 yards.
the difference between white and gold is only 800 yds
we both had an awful game as the course was too long

The Omni crew is fabulous. They go out of their way to accommodate you. The International course is tight, but fair. Great layout. In great condition. I was a single and played through 3 foursomes. Under 3 hours for 18 holes!

2 hours to play 6 holes. My playing partner got frustrated and quit. I had to skip 2 holes in order to get past 3 very slow, rude groups. On course ranger could’ve done more to encourage playing through.

All the staff from the partkin valet to the starter were very friendly.

The golf course has many areas that could be improved, such as the surroundings of the greens and the tee-offs (many weeds)

We where 3 players and played behind 2 foursome for 9 holes waiting on all the shots. In the back 9 , we had to move to the 13th hole and end up playing 10,11,12 last.

Recommendation: Check the weather forecast before making a reservation, we play with temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius.

I always try to play at Champions gate when I visit Orlando. It is always a pleasure and with golf now rates it is usually a great value

I always play the course when I’m in the area. The course layout surrounded by beautiful real estate and a gorgeous neighborhood is the value. Play there!

Had an opportunity to play the international course at ChampionsGate six days after a hurricane had passed through the area. I was surprised at how well kept and resilient the course was. There was still some small areas of standing water in the fairways but I found none in the Green side bunkers. In fact the greenside bunker‘s had all been reworked and raked. Only one hole was still cartpath only. The international course designed by Greg Norman has a few trees and is supposed to be more links like. Fairways are enormous Lee wide. Some forced carries are required but if you pick the right set of tees none of them are difficult. Greens roll smooth. One of their par four holes is undergoing a major renovation and all four tee-boxes are playing off the most forward Tee. The only reason I gave this course a four star rating is because it is a bit boring. It is hard to build a Links style course in Central Florida w/o moving a lot of dirt on relatively flat terrain.
