The International Course at ChampionsGate Golf Club

ORLANDO, Fla. - The International golf course is one of two Greg Norman-designed tracks at the Omni Resort at ChampionsGate. The International is more of a links-style course with fast running fairways, chipping and putting options from off the greens and more than 160 bunkers, many of them deep and penal.

But even though the golf course has a design reminiscent of British Open-style golf, it still retains the natural topography of the land with marshes, wetlands and plenty of Florida wildlife.

Playing to more than 7,300 yards, this former home of the professional Father-Son Challenge has four sets of tees. The International is in total contrast of its sister course, the National at ChampionsGate Golf Club, which is more of an American-style tree-lined course.

Both ChampionsGate golf courses are complemented by the world-renown David Leadbetter Golf Academy, extensive practice facilities, a nine-hole pitch and putt as well as the luxurious Omni Resort hotel and spa.
