ChampionsGate Golf Club - National

Great course conditions tee to green. Even the bunkers were awesome with perfect sand which made sand shots easy to predict. Greens rolled true, not too slow or too fast. Will be back! Only drawback was the incredibly slow foursome ahead of us.

Fun track in good shape. Was closed whole month of June but the greens look like they had been verticut a week ago which was odd but they rolled well. If anything fairways were a little too thick so little to no roll there and caught some flyers in the short grass. Layout wise was a little gem-good mix of long, short left right up, down tight and wide open. Very little water or forced carries. Terrain Reminded me of Napa Valley more than a Marsh Course. If youre going to play this or the International its no brainer International but for $50-$60 a round I wouldnt mind coming back. Be warned they charged us $15 plus tax per round over listed rate so its a solid $20 more per player than whats advertised.

Had the opportunity the National which was in great shape. The pace of play was under 4 hours for our twosome. Very challenging layout, with small greens and bunkers everywhere. Did get caught in some afternoon weather with high winds that tested our abilities. But great time and Will Be Back!

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!

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.

Course is perfect condition and challenging layout. I would recommend this to any that is staying Destin.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
