ChampionsGate Golf Resort (Orlando)

Towering over the skyline just south of Orlando and Walt Disney World is the luxurious, new Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate which opened in October 2004. Surrounded by acres of natural Florida wetlands, the resort features two incredible golf courses designed by Greg Norman. Although the resort hotel is “brand new”, the courses have been in operation for 5 years, thus are fully “matured” for your golfing pleasure. The resort, the new world headquarters of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy, boasts a European-style Spa, a fully equipped health club and a variety of enticing restaurants.

The National Course (from tips—7,128 yards, 75.1 rating / 133 slope) is a classic American-style layout that rolls through 200 acres of natural wetlands and southern woodlands. You’ll find the creative design demanding and exhilarating.

The International Course (from tips—7,363 yards, 76.3 rating / 143 slope), which is one of the highest rated courses in all of Florida, has the look and feel of a links-style layout in the British Isles (without the nasty weather!).

After a day of “ChampionsGate Golf” and, perhaps a massage at the Spa, your nightlife is as relaxing or as exciting as you want it to be. Enjoy a cocktail and dinner at one of the resort restaurants or head 5 minutes up Interstate 15 to Downtown Disney for a lively evening at Planet Hollywood or one of the many other restaurants and nightclubs.

This is our personal favorite for Orlando Resort Golf.

Saddlebrook Golf Resort & Spa (Tampa)

Lavishly planned on 480 acres of lush woodlands just 25 minutes north of Tampa, is one of North America's most beautiful and prestigious resorts... Saddlebrook! This award-winning resort offers beautiful hotel rooms and one or two bedroom condos. The 36 holes of golf designated by Arnold Palmer and Dean Refram have been rated among the best golf in the state - comfortably challenging, picturesque and skillfully landscaped. Water is plentiful on both of these magnificent courses...

Palmer Course The 6,469 yard par-71 course (71.9/134) features open, undulating fairways and greens - and lots of lakes, streams and ponds. Typically, Arnold gives you wide landing areas off the tees, but makes life interesting inside the 150 stakes.

Saddlebrook Course This par 70, 6,564 yard track (72.0/127) course is flatter and tighter than the Plalmer Course tree lined and challenges you with water on 14 holes.

Saddlebrook is also the home of the world renowned Arnold Palmer Golf Academy, providing intimate personalized attention in a combination of classroom instruction and practice sessions with actual course play.
