Adventures Await in the Sunshine State
ChampionsGate Golf Resort
You’re minutes from the big city, but these greens feel like a secluded oasis. Two 18-hole courses, national and international, were designed to blend seamlessly with Florida’s natural habitat. Its scenic beauty includes natural wetlands, dunes, and spring-fed lakes. Try to keep your eye on the ball.
Sea Life Orlando Aquarium
When you’re this close to the ocean, you might as well get to know the locals. You’ll see plenty of sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, and more. And Behind-The-Scenes Tours are a family-friendly way to see how aquarists care for these creatures of the deep.
Orlando Airboat Tours
A 1.5-hour airboat ride is an up-close and personal look at life in the Everglades. You’ll hear stories about Native Americans and early settlers, and come face-to-face with bald eagles, alligators, and other denizens of the swamp.
A History of ChampionsGate
The community of ChampionsGate is less than a quarter of a century old. Development began in the year 2000, beginning with construction of The Grand Salon Ballroom. Its ornate dance hall was first envisioned as a venue for extraordinary weddings and other notable occasions.
The golf greens soon followed – a spot for players, from at home and abroad, to hone their skills. Naturally, that kind of draw provided additional opportunities for villas, apartments, timeshares, and thousands of feet of retail and office space.
Decades ago, you might have thought it crazy to build a community here. But ChampionsGate is now a beloved destination for sportsmen, businesses, and vacationers ready to soak up some Florida sun.
