One of Golf Digest Magazine’s best-designed golf courses in Florida and rated 4 ½ stars in the top 200 in North America, the Celebration Golf Club is a publicly accessible 18-hole layout opened in 1996 as the final collaboration between father and son, Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior. This design delivers a golfing experience that can challenge the pros and yet offer a rewarding time for juniors and those just learning the game.
The course radiates an atmosphere of beautiful tranquility and fun but challenging golf. The par 72 layout is speckled with clusters of native oaks, pine, and magnolia trees, and is protectively framed by borders of native trees and natural wetlands. Featuring strategic hazards and challenging greens, this championship-caliber routing demands accurate approach shots and consistent putting.
With five sets of tees, the Celebration Golf Club now stretches from 4,933 to 7,028-yards with greens recently renovated using Champion Bermuda Grass. The Celebration Golf Club has also hosted events such as the U.S. Senior Open Qualifier, Robert Gamez Celebrity Invitational, Florida State Public Links Championship, and many more.
Before golfers step up to the first tee at the course, they are welcome to experience the driving range with a unique aqua range, exclusive for club members and academy students. Meanwhile, casual players can use the putting green and a practice chipping hole so they can bring their game up to par. The club’s Pro shop is also a warm inviting environment where they can find everything from clubs to golf accessories for any season. At Celebration, rentals of clubs or carts are also, but on a first come, first served basis.
Located in Disney’s picturesque town of Celebration, the clubhouse provides an excellent dining experience at its on-site restaurant, serving some of the town’s best food in a perfect setting. Whether an intimate gathering or a grand affair, the golf club’s banquet halls have all the ingredients to make the event unforgettable
