New Orlando-area club offers two
Greg Norman layouts and a great golf school

ChampionsGate, Orlando’s most recent (and anticipated) golf resort, combines 36 championship holes designed by Greg Norman with the new headquarters of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Just open since late last year, it’s a world-class golf experience suited to players of all abilities.

The complete story

Conveniently located in Kissimmee and close to Walt Disney World, accommodations, and more, ChampionsGate is an experience any Orlando-bound golfer shouldn’t miss. The courses, called The National and The International, along with the golf school and the rest of the upscale facility combine to make for a memorable golf experience.

The National is an impressive American-style course, with stunning par 3s, awesome bunkering, and daunting tee shots. The International features a style familiar to those who have played the great courses of Scotland and Ireland. It offers hard and fast fairways and bunkers that could have been shaped by the winds of the North Sea.

Of the courses, Norman says, “ChampionsGate offered me a rare opportunity as a course designer. We were able to create two excellent, and very different, golf courses on a single site.”

The Golf Academy is Leadbetter’s ‘dream’ school, with varied facilities and programs for every golfer. He says, “Our newest David Leadbetter Golf Academy realizes my dream for a state-of-the-art learning facility offering programs for all ages and skill levels.”

At ChampionsGate, unmatched golf holes and outstanding instruction are only the beginning. A luxurious clubhouse offers all of the amenities of a private country club, including fine dining, ample banquet facilities, and complete support for golf tournaments and special events.

ChampionsGate is ideally located--literally--at Exit 24 on I-4. The westbound expressway ramp takes golfers right to the main gate, making it easy to reach from International Drive, hotels, area attractions, and the airport.
