International Golf Course at Omni Orlando Resort at Championsgate

The International Course is located just steps from the resort. This coastal links-style course features generous fairways, hundreds of pot bunkers, and water hazards on every hole. As a PGA Tour Tournament course, it plays firm and fast and is the longer of the resort’s two courses.

Recent renovations to the International Course have significantly enhanced playing conditions. The project included a complete restoration of all 18 greens and green-side bunker complexes, returning them to their original size, look, and feel. The greens were re-turfed with Champion Bermuda, replacing the original Floradwarf turf.

Additionally, the green surrounds and par-three tee surfaces were upgraded with 419 Bermuda, replacing the previous Paspalum turf. These changes enable firmer and faster playing conditions, improved year-round consistency, and better performance in colder temperatures, ensuring exceptional quality and playability for years to come.

With the addition of over 42,000 square feet of greens, the course now offers several new pin positions to challenge players of all skill levels. As part of the rejuvenation project, several fairway bunkers were removed to provide cleaner sightlines off the tee. Despite these updates, the International Course retains its raw, rustic design inspired by Greg Norman’s homeland—a coastal links layout with firm, fast conditions that support longer drives and more challenging putting on its expansive, undulating greens.

Recently ranked No. 9 among the top overall courses by GOLF Advisor, the 7,363-yard International Course boasts sprawling greens, wind-swept dunes, and 18 of the most dramatic and challenging holes in the state.

We played the International course. I wanted to give this course 5 stars as it was a beautiful course and started off really fun!
It had some wonderful views overall but at the turn we got stuck behind a foursome that the starter told to skip two holes instead of one to keep the pace of play and they only skipped one putting them in front of us. They took way too long messing around throwing clubs and laying down on the fairway that it caused a horrible backup. People were stacked up on the tee boxes because of them and we were about an hour behind pace of play. It didn’t help how overheated we were from being out there and a storm coming in that made us feel like we needed to finish faster. That storm also caused some pretty crazy wind that made the course just that much more difficult. It was already a pretty hard course. I wish someone would’ve come out and pushed them along as everyone including our group was really getting frustrated. People also started hitting up on us, I just wish I could’ve enjoyed the experience more.

Awesome setup and very unique course for the area. Links type course where fairways either narrow or are bunkered wherever you want to land it. If you dont like bunkers or cant hit it straight, i would skip this one! It takes some thinking and strategy to play and we'll worth the cost.

Played International a few days ago while on vacation.

Great golf course!! Greens were speedy. Course was in awesome shape. Yes there are areas that are dormant and make it a challenge to play off of. But these are areas you only find with bad golf.

Tough golf course. Lots of demanding shots but fair for the mid handicapper. If you’re a higher cap just play the right tees and you’ll enjoy more.

Got the cheesesteak sandwich after the round. It was awesome. I would play here again and recommend.
