Course Highlights
The National Course at ChampionsGate delivers a thoughtfully designed parkland layout with fast, true greens and well-maintained fairways that consistently impress. Exceptionally friendly staff, top-notch amenities, and attentive on-course service create a memorable round from start to finish.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Style Parkland
Par 72
Length 7197 yards
Slope 128
Rating 74.1

The National course is a classic American-style layout that rolls through 200 acres of southern woodlands and wetlands. Unique bunkering, tree-lined fairways and intriguing green designs define shot making challenges. In particular, golfers are apt to remember the National for its testing par 3 holes and for the double green shared by holes 4 & 16.

Must play in orlando

This course just has such a wonderful challenging design that we always make sure it is a must play each trip. The greens were in great shape, fairways were perfect as always, bunkers were great except for green side bunker #1. It has some issues with drainage pipe showing through quite a bit of it. Staff was fantastic as always. Disappointing the beverage cart doesn’t bring you requested food items if you play the national course.

SURPRISING UNREMARKABLE

Champions Gate National was quite disappointing. The Norman layout was very average with few memorable holes.The staff was quite accommodating and friendly but the lasting impression of this day will be the bag piper playing at the end of the day. Very moving.

Best course I’ve played on

Really enjoyed golfing the nation course at champions gate. The course was in great condition. Tee boxes were extremely nice, fairways were beautiful and greens were unreal. I’m not used to such a manicured green so I had to adjust because they were definitely faster then what I was used to but I didn’t mind

Nice Layout

Fairways and Greens in great shape… greens were a bit quick and there were a few scenic holes. Par 5 18 at almost 600 yards is a killer to end the round but a nice finishing challenge….

Perfect weather

The course has a good mix of holes

The course was a good value for the price we paid, $104.

The sand was inconsistent so some holes played unfairly. Sand traps need repair after heavy rain.

Course was fine but we didn’t know it was cart path only ( due to overseeding) until we had already booked, checked in, paid a significant amount, and we’re at the starter when we were advised of CPO.

It would seem for the price paid we could have been advised on check in so we could have had the option to play the other course or say no thanks.

Alert to over seeding and cart path only

Would’ve been nice to know that the national course was cartpath only. Maybe I missed it on the Golfnow booking site. Regardless it was a lot of fun and I could use the exercise.

Not great

Course runs $150ish for a round. Lots of weeds growing around greens. It’s a nice layout, but I think the course relies too much on its relationship to the international course. This is maybe a $60 value to me.
