ChampionsGate Golf Club - National

I had the first tee time of the day, had some off time while on a business trip. Everything about this course impressed me. All of the staff from the pro-shop to the starters and even the groundskeepers make this experience one of the best I’ve had playing golf. this course is a must-play with amazing conditions and a fun time as well. Thank you Holly and everyone who helped me and my wife have a blast here!

I played the National at ChampionsGate as the 2nd round of 36 holes today. I played in and around a couple of thunderstorms so the pace of play was outstanding and I basically had the course to myself. Getting soaked was the only downside. It’s a nice layout. And pretty player friendly. A more traditional country club design compared to the International layout. The fairways are tight and the greens smaller. But it’s not overly tight and there is room to hit your ball. I would say it was in slightly better shape than the International right now which is just coming off being closed for aeration. The greens were smooth and soft from the rain. And the fairways and tees were in really good shape. There is a double green which was a cool feature. And 15 a par 3 on the back is a memorable hole. Bc you can’t see the green hardly for the brush in the forced carry area. Other than that hole not alot of forced carries. It’s a layout anyone can enjoy. And well worth the replay rate of $60 that I paid.

Good outing at National. Greens were fast but didn’t move much. The tee boxes and fairways were in good condition and no restrictions on carts.

I would recommend to pack your own food. The cart is good with normal fare but a fresh PubSub would’ve been much better than the cart food.

Hadn’t played here in a few years. The staff was friendly and helpful. Inside and outside facilities top notch. The course in fantastic condition tee to green. During the round a player assistant came around at least 3 times with iced wet towels and free water bottles also ice cold.

Ate at bar post round and food was excellent. Price = quality today.

Best greens I've ever seen. Fast and true. The layout is typical florida target golf. Short par 4s require layup off the tee. But most holes you can let it rip off the tee. 150 bucks is pricey but ok i guess for this time of year
