I am always playing one under...a tree, the sand, the lake, the marsh and ChampionsGate took 8 balls from this outing. I call that a win still!!!! Played in the TopBuild Habitat for Humanity Golf Classic, great group, even better golfers! This course is challenging and made the good cause even more enjoyable.
Stellar staff and even more well kept grounds at this resort. Everything is far. From the lobby to the pro shop, you need a cart. Staff here is incredible and so friendly and kind. They offered shuttles to the driving range before the tournament. I will say rentals were actually nice clubs, providing you a box of 6 balls (you'll need them all) and cost only about $90 to rent. I had the ladies Callaway Big Bertha Reva and we played several of my shots as best ball! Woot woot.
While the event booked both courses at the Omni, we got to play the International Course. I tell ya, these holes are the longest yards I had my driver try to make serious distance. I don't recall anything short of 300 yards except on the par 3 and even those looked like you were shooting well over 150 plus yards.
Don't go after lost balls. It's a death trap. Despite that, I never had to take a mulligan. Being a Denverite and former Phoenician, this course kicked my butt on humidity in mid September but still kept wanting to play more. 18th hole had more sand than a Saharan desert. Good lawd, talk about keeping your shot straight.
The carts come equipped with electronic scorecard. As my fellow golfers learned, it will beep and shut off if you wander into the greens where carts are not allowed.
If you're visiting Orlando, and not at Disney World, this should keep you challenged and perfecting that swing! I'll be back next year to beat my scorecard.
