ChampionsGate Golf Club - National
Rating Snapshot
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.

Beautiful, fun course
Had a great time playing this course. Got out early and played quickly. Conditions were excellent and staff was great. Look forward to playing it again!
Extremely happy
A friend and I have been wanting to play this course and I was able to get us a tee time on Monday, 4th of July. I figured the course would be packed and very slow but I was pleasantly surprised to not only see that they weren’t overly packed but the pace of play was incredible. We are already looking to come back and play the other course. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Hi, thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - National.
Great course
Course is perfect condition and challenging layout. I would recommend this to any that is staying Destin.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at ChampionsGate Golf Club - National. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Very Nice!!!!
Greens - immaculate condition - had a few ball marks that some douchebags didn’t repair….but the greens are in immaculate condition - play around 11/medium speed. Roll true…not very undulating…pin positions good…
Fringe - around each green you typicall had a few feet of short first cut fringe…in some cases like 10 feet…you can Texas wedge putt your missed approach shot on…or put some nasty check spin on a ball with a wedge due to the right lie…makes scoring lower easier
Tee boxes - nice overall condition…nothing to complain about
- fairways - lush and beautiful - nice lie if your in the fairway
- coarse playability - this is a great Claire’s - layout is awesome - some easy holes….some tough. Tee shot positioning enables lower scores…so if you can accurately play lace tee shots in the fairway for strategic approaches…your golden.
Played from white tees - around 6000 yards - shot a 75 with multiple missed birdie putts. Reached one of the par 5s in 2 with driver and then 4I hybrid fade…other par 5s I couldn’t reach in 2.
Highly recommended!
If your looking for a course that doesn’t have a ton of water and you don’t want to lose balls…this is the best one around. It’s nice and fairly open.

National
Enjoyable game at CG National which was in very good condition. Practice putting green needs to be improved as nothing like the pace of course greens. Pace of play poor thanks to a couple of slow groups ahead which Marshall did not appear to bother about - disappointing!! Layout less memorable than International though I did love the challenging par 3 16th.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
We’ll oiled machine.
The staff was excellent and attentive from the time we pulled up to the bag drop.
The course was in very good shape and played well. Greens were reasonably quick and true.

Don’t bother
Driving range and the course were in terrible condition. It looked like they hadn’t spent a penny on it years. The play was really slow and the marshals did nothing. The food was bad too.
Don’t waste your money!

Not bad, but would prefer international
First time play the national, the condition is very good, the staffs are very friendly (as always), car girl shows up as expected, pace was fine, overall, it is not as fun as the international course, but it was still fun, if I can’t play international, I may play this.

Little over priced
I got to play for $55 by using my Golf Now reward promos.
There was nobody booked for over two hours after we teed off.
Lower the price and you would fill all the slots
