ChampionsGate is not exactly a city or town, rather it is this place where golf is the name of the game.
The place is just close to the Walt Disney Resort, so if I were staying at the resort, I would grab a few hours and let the kids enjoy the resort while I relax and tee off.
The place is really great, I heard that a lot of known golf enthusiasts visit ChampionsGate, but so far I have not yet seen one. The place is magnificent and well constructed. Of course, I would not doubt the beauty of it since it was Greg Norman who put it up.
What I like most about it is that Disney World is not the only theme park nearby, but there is also SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and more.
