About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7023 yards
Slope 140
Rating 74.5

The 18-hole Celebration Golf Club in Celebration, FL is a public golf course that opened in 1996. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Celebration Golf Club measures 7038 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 140 and a 74.5 USGA rating. The course features 5 sets of tees for different skill levels. The greens are bermuda grass.

Father and son team of Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Jr. created a golfing experience that is second to none at Celebration Golf Club. As a result, Celebration is a championship venue with the park-like feel of a modern, Florida course.

They were also successful in creating separate personalities between the nines. On the front, many holes border wide boulevards lined on the other side by pre- 1940 replicate homes from America's southern region and that of Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. But with the back, the homes fade into the brush letting Mother Nature take center stage. Designed with shot-making strategy in mind, this championship caliber course demands accurate approach shots and consistent putting.

Not what it used to be!

Greens and tee boxes need help! Greens were bumpy and had bare spots on a few holes. Tee boxes are supposed to have grass…correct?

Fast Greens Slow Play

Not a great value for the price but it’s in the heart of the Disney area and has a lot of tourists playing.
The greens were very fast and difficult.
Slow play killed the experience with a 3 hr front nine and a 2.5 hr back nine.

Nice challenging course

Nice and challening course. Good shape.
But, We played more than 5 hours. Flight in front got completely lost… Slow play and no ranger on the course. Hope next time would be faster.
Would play again this course.

Seen it in better shape

Played last week. It’s dry season so I understand the lack of water and tighter lyes. However, the tee boxes were all beat up. Seems were more people working on the course on prior visits. The greens were firm, couldn’t find any ball marks because so firm. I’ve seen worse, but for $100 for a Florida resident with a membership, would expect more ball cleaners. Friendly staff in shop and post round/starter. not Pace of play wasn’t bad. Only waited for 4some in front on a couple holes. We finished in 4 hours 5 min. If you get a deal for $60-$75 as fl resident, go for it. However seems OCN the sister company is in a little better shape. Plus you can hit off grass in practice area and don’t have to use the floating style range balls.

Bad Marshall

Course was awesome, would definitely recommend it but unfortunately the course Marshall ruined our experience and will not play here again. Told us we were behind pace and came back multiple times to “check in” on us, we finished the front 9 in just over 2 hours and the back nine in just over 2 hours….well ahead of pace. If you can handle someone hovering over you while you play it’s worth it but too many other good courses to consider that don’t have a Marshall trying to ruin your round.

Course is in excellent condition. Greens were very nice and smooth. A few tee boxes were a little bare but overall the fairways, greens and course conditions were excellent. I would highly recommend this course.

Overall nice experience made even nicer by the employees

We have wanted to play this course for a few years because it is recommended by a good friend . We were very pleased with the results, The conditions were perfect, the course was in great shape. The guy who met us at the bag drop was very personable and had great advice about getting set the starter, David was very nice as well. I witnessed an encounter while checking in where a golfer was providing unofficial feedback based on his experience on the course with a Marshall re speed af play. The guest pressed the staff pretty heard and they were very professional in their response. I would recommend this course and the town is fantastic to boot so don’t visit without checking out the downtown.

5 star

Beautiful course. Cheaper than Disney and staff just as pleasant. They provide a cooler w ice and conditions were immaculate. Greens were like putting on ice. I highly recommend this course over Palm, Magnolia, and Lake Buena Vista. Those courses are nice but the value is @ Celebration. Might even see a gator as well 🐊

Not the same

This was a staple of our yearly Orlando golf trip. In fact at one point it was the highlight. This year disappointed. No greeter to collect bags upon arrival - did not even take bags off cart when we finished. Putting green holes hadn't moved for many days, all chewed at the edges. An $8 bucked of 40 balls held 31. And the greens were weed infested. I could be wrong, but sure looks like a new management austerity program was in place. No longer part of our rotation, sorry to say. :-(

Great layout, poor conditions

The best feature of Celebration is the layout, a collaborative effort of R.T. Jones, Sr. and Jr. There’s not a weak hole on the course and only one hole, #15, that I thought was a tad unfair. While the design is impeccable, the condition of the course was mediocre, at best. Most of the tees were in miserable shape and many of the fairways were quite spotty and thin. There was no rough to speak of. In my opinion, the greens were acceptable for this time of year. Many reviewers have complained about the poa annua infestation in many of Celebration’s greens but I think that is unfair viewed out of context. One, if mowed closely, poa is not much of a concern vis-a-vis ball roll. Indeed, in many northeastern courses it is the PREFERRED grass for greens. Two, once there is prolonged temperatures above 85 (which won’t be long!), poa dies off. My point is that while Celebration’s greens may not be in perfect shape, they are no worse than many other premier courses in the area that are also suffering from poa infestation. On a positive note, Celebration’s greens are relatively closely mown and somewhat fast such that I thought they rolled pretty true. Overall, I would recommend Celebration even though the conditions indicate it is a bit overpriced.
