ChampionsGate Golf Club - National

Played National which was cart path only for overseeding. Great condition and greens were perfect. Staff is very accommodating.

Well done! Greens rolling a 10. Fairways and tee boxes in great condition. Got moved up because of open tee times. Stater was a stud! Excellent outside service staff! Will def play it again!

Nothing more frustrating than paying $100 to play a nice course and find out on the first tee that it’s cart path only. I was bamboozdled!

The grass wasn’t mowed. The tees and fairways we overgrown. It was cart path only even though it was dry. We played as a 4 some in 4:04 and had the ranger ask us to speed up play twice. It was annoying. We all shot under 85 and were getting harassed. It’s a nice course and worth the price when it’s in shape. But the staff acts like you’re lucky to be there and doesn’t really care that it’s the same price when it’s manicured vs shaggy and inconvenient conditions.

Rain was in forcast but thought we could get out early. Course in Great shape but was Cart path only from previous rains. Not a ton of wetness but did as asked. Well especially as carts will stop LOL. Anyway we did get stuck at a shelter for a bit but when we got back out after some serious rain. Course had suffered no effect. Greens rolled great, still had some roll on fairway and greens rolled fast and true. Got a great Hot deal price as we booked that morning and got it in. Staff on course and pro shop was great TY.

Considering it was cart path only and we didn’t know until we got there and i still rated it all 5’s - says everything you need to know

Even though my day was cart part only due to overseeding the course was in outstanding condition and no one was hardly out there. Played in a little over 3 hours. National course is pretty straight forward. Playing international a few days later.

Booked this tee time several weeks ago and no special announcement or warning was on the tee time. When I arrived this morning I was told that the course was completely cart path only. I asked about a discount to my greens fee and they not only declined my request, they tried to charge me more than I had booked for. Only after showing them my receipt from when I booked did they charge the correct amount. Course was in decent shape. Rough was more weeds and patches of grass rather that rough. Not worth what I paid.

The starter told us to play all putts as straight and 95% of the time he was correct.

2weeks ago i commented on a cart that would not go up hills and a group ahead that was holding everyone up but would not allow anyone to play through and could not get the clubhouse to help in anyway. Today the beverage girl heard us talking about the group ahead and offered to get help. It was to early for that we informed her and the group let us through the next hole. Much better experience this time. The course was in excellent shape.

Several gorgeous holes and get ready for a challenge!

I’d actually give it somewhere between 3.5-4 stars. Admittedly l was expecting more with the fees and the reviews. I was immediately greeted by staff at the bag drop. Driving range was nice (no mats) and balls included. No putting green was available, under repair. The cart initially appeared nice. GPS and USB outlets, but then l actually drove it. It sputtered and couldn’t get out of its own way. When l returned l told a staff member. He told me sometimes you have to turn it off, pump it 5-6 times, turn it back off, flick it back and forth from forward to reverse. Really…? The course - some of the tee boxes were actually burnt. And as a lefty l felt like the ball was usually above my feet an inch or two. The fairways were in good shape, though some non-fairway patches of grass were present. They’re also very wide. Obviously they want to keep the herds moving. There was rough, but it was very non-penal. It was only about 1/2 inch higher than the fairways. It actually even gave you a good lie, because the ball sat up. The greens were smooth and true, but rolled slow to medium at best. All in all, I’m glad l did not pay the prime time rate. I never felt like there was a single hole that made you go wow. It was visually unstimulating.

Both of the CG courses are some of my favorite places to play. This time, National had some thin spots in the fairways and tees but, overall, was in pretty good shape. Apparently, they had experienced some significant rain because a couple of fairway bunkers were like quicksand and unplayable. One of the green side bunkers on #8 was like concrete and, again, really unplayable. On the positive side, the greens rolled true and were a decent speed. Staff was uniformly friendly and helpful. Practice facility was excellent but be aware the putting and chipping greens are closed due to required maintenance. Believe me, these minor inconveniences should not deter you from playing this track as it is both fun and challenging!
