RESORT OPENING JULY / AUGUST 2007

 

ChampionsGate Golf Resort, a nationally acclaimed golf facility for world-class golf, offers 36 holes designed by International Golf Champion Greg Norman and is the World Headquarters of David Leadbetter Golf Academy.

ChampionsGate is home to both the National and International Courses. Greg Norman designed the 36 holes of golf featured at ChampionsGate to offer golfers a blend of tradition

and modern elements and to create a unique golf experience. Whether you choose to play the International, with its authentic links style golf reminiscent of the great courses of the British Isles, or the National with its traditional American style, you will experience a challenging round of golf.

Located just minutes (literally 10 minutes walk) from Tuscana the courses are in tournament-playing conditions year-round. Known for the first-class amenities including valet parking, iced towel service and our digital GPS Caddy System. Prolink, the #1 GPS system acts as a professional caddie that gives you the opportunity to improve your skills, experience PGA-type scoring and enhance your overall play.

National Course: The National Course at ChampionsGate is a classic layout of America's finest destinations. A pleasure to play, the ChampionsGate National Course is a cut above the rest with its majestic greens and long ranges.

International Course: The International offers a golf experience unlike any other in the Orlando area, but one that will be familiar to those who have played the links courses of Scotland and Ireland.


We invite you to play the award winning Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club. Of all the great golf courses in the Central Florida area, Steve Smyer's creation at Southern Dunes may be the most unique. This dramatic hillside layout stretches to over 7,200 yards and features 100 ft. of elevation changes not typically found in Central Florida.

Five sets of tees welcome golfers of all skill levels to enjoy risk/reward opportunities through

extensive mounding and strategically placed bunkers. The design is enhanced by the well maintained playing surfaces. Southern Dunes receives rave reviews from local and visiting golfers alike.

Located only 15 miles from Tuscana, this well kept secret jewel of Central Florida has become a golfing opportunity that can't be missed when visiting the area.


Both nines at Ridgewood Lakes feature strategically placed hazards and fairways framed by sparkling white sand bunkers. Par-4 and par-5 holes have generous landing areas, each of which are plainly visible form the tee.

Golfers appreciate Ridgewood is not one of those courses with “gimmicks” or hidden trouble; just a great layout made for an enjoyable golfing experience.

Ridgewood Lakes’ greens are among the finest of any Orlando-area golf course meticulously maintained by the grounds crew staff which each year goes to the time and expense of over-seeding the entire course to ensure peak playing conditions during the entire winter season.

The Ridgewood Lakes course is “user-friendly” for ladies and seniors too. Only one hole a forced carry over water in front of the green with every other allowing players room to run the ball onto the putting surface from the fairway.

Perhaps the best way to describe the high regard that Ridgewood Lakes is held is in addition to the numerous golfers who have come back many times to play, Ridgewood is a host venue for several of the Orlando area professional golf mini-tours achieving consistent rave reviews from these budding tour players.

Among the many memorable holes at Ridgewood Lakes, golfers often talk about the par-3 fifteenth, Ridgewood’s signature hole playing to 185-yards from the back tees and 122-yards from the most forward tees. The view from the elevated tee is striking; a sloped green situated between greenside bunkers with a large pond to the left. Depending on the pin location and direction of the wind the club needed to “hit it close” may vary from a mid-iron to a wood and three is always a good score on the fifteenth.

Visitors may also take advantage of Ridgewood Lakes superlative practice facility. Many golfers use it for both pre-round warmup and longer sessions improving their swing. The range area also has a large bunker and chipping area reserved especially to hone your short game in addition to a practice putting green.
