ChampionsGate Golf Club - National
About
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.

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.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - National!
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.

Golf course conditions
Post hurricane Ian—
Holes are in great shape. Only a little water on a cart path that was shut down. Great choice for money. Will not be disappointed with the choice. Played National course. No issues with any of it.
Challenging for sure. Shot 90- avg 82-87..
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club - National for another 5-star experience.
feel like champions
It`s gate to heaven. Eddi from the staff gave us super advises, Dean the starter gave us an extra tee time to play as couple, fairways and greens in very good shape.
We`ve started at noon so I can`t say anything how busy it is in the morning but we had a wonderful time out there. Will come again and will play the international course.

The course is always one of my favorites. Although we weren’t able to play the international because a qualifier tournament, the National course was in great shape. There was a ton of rain the week before and other than a few wet spots the course was awesome.

Great time
Fantastic course and great shape. It has rained for days and the night before rained for about 10 hours straight. Only 2 holes were cart path only minimal flooding so the course drained well. Fairly friendly layout greens were in good shape and staff was friendly. Great food afterwards as well.

Course was OK but could be better
I have heard all about Champions Gate and have always wanted to play. In the winter time it is almost impossible to get a tee time and the price is almost double what I paid during the summer. The course has a very traditional layout. The greens were very good but not that fast. The fairways were very nice. Many of the bunkers, especially the waste bunkers were filled with either mud or water or both. For the price in the summer, I would say $105 is too much compared to other courses in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. ChampionsGate Golf Club - National thanks you!
Solid course
Starter told us the course condition was a 12. More like a 6, lots of soggy spots. However greens and tees were excellent. Played the National, challenging but not ridiculous

Thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - National.
The national course is is great condition. Only the 9th hole was cart path only due to the recent heavy rains. No standing water, bunkers all raked, fairways allowed tee shots to roll, and the greens were excellent. There is some heavy rough in some spots and it’s easy to lose your ball, but these areas are typically well off the fairways. The pace of play could have and should have been quicker, we were stuck behind a slow twosome. But given the outstanding course conditions, I can deal with the 4:45 round
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - National.
Great Day
Overall this course is in great shape, especially for this time of year. Paid $99 to play which is a little high for the summer, but well worth it. Outside staff was very friendly and helpful and so was the inside staff. I would highly recommend.
