Year Founded
2000
The luxury resort community of ChampionsGate was master-planned in the early 2000s as a premier, high-end golfing and vacation sanctuary designed around world-class athletic infrastructures. Strategically built directly along the Osceola and Polk county borders, this secure community expanded rapidly to serve elite global travelers and seasonal residents seeking luxury resort-style accommodations. The premier landmark and top attraction of the area is the massive Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, a sprawling architectural masterpiece that anchors the entire neighborhood. The community is globally celebrated for its two world-class signature golf courses designed by legendary professional golfer Greg Norman. Popular local activities involve playing championship golf layouts, relaxing in multi-acre lazy river resort pools, training at elite tennis facilities, and dining at upscale global steakhouses. Geographically, ChampionsGate is located 27 miles southwest of Orlando International Airport (MCO). It is situated approximately 52 miles southwest of Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). Reaching the primary retail and dining avenues of Disney Springs requires a straightforward 12-mile drive down the Interstate 4 corridor. To visit the nearest sand and coastal waves, a drive of 71 miles east brings travelers straight to Cocoa Beach.
