Activities

Champions Gate Golf

If there’s a golf-lover or two within the family, then they’re going to love this resort! International golf champion, Greg Norman, designed two award-winning 18-hole courses – an International and a National course. The International course was designed with his Australian homeland in mind, winding through scenic wetlands, dunes and grassy areas. The National golf course was designed with Orlando golfers in mind, through the rolling hills, groves and lakes of the area.

It’s also the World Headquarters for The Leadbetter Academy, and offers a school for learners, a pro shop, indoor/outdoor hitting bay, 7 state-of-the-art video rooms, performance studio and fitness studio, plus a repair shop.

*Access to the golf course depends on whether the owner of the holiday home you are renting has a membership. If not, the golf courses will come at an additional charge. Please make sure to check with our sales agents.
