Champions Gate<\/a> in Davenport, Orlando, Florida, is a true golfer\u2019s paradise. The resort has everything a keen golfer could desire, including a swanky clubhouse, nearby restaurants, a golf school and a driving range. Oh, and there are two magnificent 18-hole courses designed by one of the world\u2019s most successful golfers.<\/p>\n

What’s more, Top Villas offers a range of Orlando golf packages<\/a> consisting of 3, 4 or 5 night all-inclusive golf trips with a private vacation home, golf and free buggy hire.<\/p>\n

The golf courses at Champions Gate<\/h2>\n

Both of the scenic, 18-hole golf courses at Champions Gate were designed by legendary golf star Greg Norman. They take advantage of Champions Gate\u2019s beautiful natural setting, providing golfers with gorgeous views over mature woods and stunning wetland scenery.<\/p>\n

The National Course<\/h3>\n

This parkland-style course winds through thickly wooded areas and former orange groves. Hop aboard your golf cart (there\u2019s free GPS) and set out for a round of golf you\u2019ll never forget. There are dozens of deep bunkers and water hazards here, and the greens are relatively small, making this a challenging but very rewarding course. Look out for hole 15 \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s a par 3, but the wetlands between the tee and the hole are said to eat up more than 15,000 balls a year.<\/p>\n

The International Course<\/h3>\n

Also known as the Orlando Links Golf Course, this is one for experienced golfers who aren\u2019t afraid of a difficult round. In fact, it has the highest course rating in Florida, and has been named as one of the 10 most distinctive places to play by Golf Magazine. All 18 holes on the International Course have their own challenges, with dunes and long grasses posing a constant threat. Choose the right club, though, and you\u2019ll find that the rewards are more than worth it.<\/p>\n

The golf driving range<\/h2>\n

If you need to practice your swing, head to the driving range at Champions Gate. It\u2019s open from sunrise daily (weather permitting) and gives you the chance to get the best from your clubs \u2013 you can hit from the ground or choose to tee off instead. Grab a pyramid of balls and do your best to avoid the bunkers.<\/p>\n

Other practice facilities at Champions Gate include a putting green and a short-game area, where you can test out your irons and woods. There\u2019s also a chipping area and a bunker just behind the clubhouse.<\/p>\n

The clubhouse<\/h2>\n

For casual drinks and snacks, head to the clubhouse at Champions Gate Resort. Apart from acting as a place to socialise and refuel, the clubhouse offers golf carts and club rental. You can read more about what\u2019s on offer \u2013 including the free shuttle that runs to the Omni Champions Gate Hotel \u2013 in our clubhouse guide.<\/p>\n

Tee times are available all year round at Champions Gate, with rates dependent on which day you choose. Book one of our luxury villas at Champions Gate and our dedicated concierge team will be able to help you secure a tee time that suits.<\/p>\n
